What are your good and bad points about the Playstation 2

Good

>Plays and enhances playstation 1 games
>Plays cd's with digital out to mini disc and dolby 5:1
>Plays DVD's with high quality and supports nearly every feature.
>Can store playstation saves on the PS2 8 meg memory card
>Dual shock 2 analog is great on the buttons
>Xbox and gamecube are coming which means competition and thats good because they work hard like the mega drive and snes they were both great cus they were fighting against each other unlike windows which has no competion and can be as crap as it wants to be.
>good future with the hard drive and usb harware
>Better than all the rest(excluding the Dreamcast)

Bad
>Cost £300
>If your using a square television with no aspect ratio adjustment, when your watching a widescreen version film it will be squashed and they look very very thin.so you have to look if it will be alright with your TV.
>Some games don't work very well on the PS2
>nearly all the good games are still in development.
>Some games(won't mention which ones) are giving the playstation 2 a bad name with the awful anti analising (squared edges)


what are your thoughts?

yeh but instead of a Play Station three i think it would be better if you payed say £150 for a CD which upgrades your Play station two

the ps2 does have some decent games...but some of them are really too short from what i;ve heard such as zone of the enders and shadow of memories...need more longetivity (is that how you spell it??)
