the pc seems to be better at the moment but if MGS2 lives up to the hype it will be class
The PC may have online gaming and some good titles but can you really be bothered
Loading it up
Installing
Rebooting
Checking drivers
Disabling Screensavers and fixing misc options
Keyboard Config and settings for your hardware
downloading direct X and all the rest
I sure can't be bothered
Pc's may be more powerfull in the specs region but windows is so unrealible that,i just think it's the worse thing that runs computer games.
I'd rather just put a game in and play there and then, No question about crashing and none of your mates hanging around for you to install the thing.my mates all Play Tekken 3 but they'd all get bored around a PC.Some games just aren't the same without a BIG tv,Speakers and a console.
My PSone crashed once in about 4 years and that was when i highlighted almost every xplorer codes hehe, other than that they never crash.I used to have Tomb raider for the PC and ha thats a laugh i saved every minute just incase Lara might slow down when there's too much stuff on the screen and she'll end up spiked because you couldn't control her. then one day it just wouldn't load anything except her home level and this was on a brand new £1000 PC.The hardware just wasn't compatible.
Console games are specially programmed for your exact hardware so every game will work at the best it can be.
I think PC's aren't made for playing games and i think microsoft are finally seeing this and making an actual console.
Soon as the PS2 has the internet and that HUGE hard drive I'm grabbing the offical Keyboard and Mouse and doing all my browsing on that.

Thats what you get for buying a PC World!!
Think it comes down to what you want from your machine. I own a PC and a PS2 but until March I just had a PC which I'd had for about a year. Before that I'd had two other PCs. If you want to play excellent games that WORK and don't CRASH, and don't require patches to make them usable, and don't have manuals that are single handedly responsible for destroying whole rainforests ( exageration but its true for all sims and RPGS ) then buy a PS2. Hell of a lot more fun :)
My PC is now relegated to interent and work uses,which means the days of upgrading graphics card, adding memory e.t.c are gone and with them the vast sums of cash wasted in the eternal upgrade struggle. Okay so my PS2 and Nicam tv and other bits cost about £500 plus, and games are more expensive, but at least I can buy any game thats going to come out in the next three years and know its going to play ( maybe with exception of online games, but I'd happily pay for the hard drive/modem add on if its as good as the PS2 ) and not crash randomly.
One other advantage of PS2, faulty workmanship. My PS2 had a minor fault so I rang Sony who replaced it with no argument in three days. My last PC was sooooooo faulty yet having that sorted ended in threatening PC World with trading standards ( bad experience maybe but any PC related faults require marathon telephone call sessions and hardware/software companies blaming each other ) I dont want to have to learn loads of PC technical stuff to figure out how to have a working machine which I've paid £1500 for......

Max Payne has been delayed on the PC so that the PS2 version can come out at the same time. Commandos 2 is coming out on the PS2, Duke Nukem games are poor and Wolfenstein is still a dark horse.
What about Onimusha, Red Faction, GT3, MGS2, Project Eden, Matrix??

Those games are old, except Black and White, and I have them all and completed them all, except Black and White, but what about, Extermination, ZOE, Starfighter, SSX, Shadow of Memories or Kessen??
Eh??? The PS2 is no better or no worse than a PC, they are suitably different, I think you should rename your topic, are there any decent games out at the moment, and you might find they are all on a PS2!!
