I get the feeling that sony is only after one thing. MONEY1 and lots of it. Now before i go on i have to say I own a PS1( got it when it came out about 5 years ago) and a PS2 and they are both great. But looking at other consoles makes me think maybee sony could have done a few things a bit better.

The Gamecube and X-box will be released soon, both with 4 controller ports yet the PS2 only has 2 (means you have to pay £20 for a multi tap) why couldn't they just make the console with 4 like the N64, DC,X-box,Gamecube.

Also the release price of the PS2 was around £300, the gamecube is due to be sold for around £100 cheaper. Memory for the PS2 is expensive too, £30 for a memory card. The x-box will have a built in hard drive whereas sony are charging about £100 fir theirs.
Seems a little unfair that it would cost so much to buy all the hardware. Im sure sony could have put more in the console before releasing it.

I own a grey box and a PS2, if my memory serves me right
wasn"t the very first playstation £400. If i am correct then
£300 for a PS2 and dvd is not that bad. Original games for
PS1 started at around £45 same as what the PS2 games are
coming out at. Word is that the PS2 is to be dropped in
price to about £200 in September to compete with the x-box
and game cube TO LATE, SONY HAVE WON THE GAMES WAR

I agree that the PS2 is expensive although the price of the memory card is not that bad as it will take a lot to fill it up, probably over 15 game saves.
