And maybe GT4, and any other games that are exclusively PS2?

Currently I think it's a ridiculous idea, but I really do want to play San Andreas and I don't want to have to wait a year or whatever to play it on my XBOX. My PC is ancient, and I do plan to update it to the max, but don't have that kind of money at the moment.

Your taunts of 'Grand Theft Auto games are crap' will fall on deaf ears - I'm a major fan of the series.

Your thoughts, or if you have any information at all about an xbox release that would be great.

Oh, and when is Halo 2 out?

Minus the tempting bit, I agree, why buy a PS2 when the Xbox (and Cube for me) have such great lineups soon?!

Of course you're 100% correct, but I'm still considering it.

Actually I'm more swaying towards the idea of investing in a spanking new PC. long overdue.

Don't know, but it's just a waste of money if you ask me, it all works fine when it's sitting flat.

I think it would easily fall over without the stand, how much is the stand?

Haven't tried to stand it upright. However I reckon it'll need a stand though.

Can you still stand them vertical without a stand though?

Got one of those this morning, they're really quite smart, and about the size of a DVD case, brilliant.

GTA does rock, I've picked up a "Slim" PS2 this morning, looks quality and it fits on my desk :P. There are finally so games coming out which I want: Killzone/GT4/DMC3 etc so I've now got all 3 consoles which is a bonus, GTA should keep me going until Halo 2, cannot wait for that.

I'm good.

Only other games that intrest me out of that lot are the Ratchet and Clank and the Jak and Daxter series.

Think you'll find San Andreas will be the last GTA game of this generation anyway. Rockstar have been quoted on saying that it'll make a perfect trilogy.

As tempting as GTA:SA seems I'd have no time for it with the release of Halo 2 and Ghost Recon 2 just around the corner. That's not to mention the insanely packed release schedule for the start of next year on Xbox.
