Well, E3 is here, and eh, does it look like the PS2 is finally dead?

There are no major PS2 announcements from Sony.

No top quality Sony games, no nothing about the PS2.

No online wants, no single player wants, just nothing.

A not very interesting announcement about Cell workstations by the end of the year, and a hand held device.

So, the PS2 finally dying?

We've got Metal Gear Solid 3, and Gran Turismo 4 to look farward to as exclusives, woohoo :D

My Xbox might be my favourite console in the coming months, Doom 3 Live, Halo 2 Live, The Red Star, PES Live, and the full EA lineup Live, yes I want NHL on my Xbox.

Microsoft are now THE major player in the games console industry, and Live has swung it for them.

Doom 3 and HL 2 are coming on pc, and HL2 will be on ps3 and gc2. And Kill zone Kicks Halo's Ars.

Oh, and as good as Killzone looks - it will not be better than Halo 2.

You can't tell for sure because you haven't played any of them.

You're making this place as bad as the Nintendo forum.

If you read it in the official magazine then it must be true. Sony were going to sue Rockstar if the game was being sold before the new year, maybe that was part of the San Andreas deal.

Either way there is no need to tell me to shut up and act like a rude little prat.

Grow up.

Killzone is gonna be another case over hyping like he supposed GTA beater that was 'The Getaway'. From previews I've read it sounds like it has some good ideas but the framerate's awful and the controls need a lot of work, now compare that to the previews of Halo 2 and I think you'll see just a slight bit of difference in reception.

As for the GTA thing, the exclusivity deal for GTA in Europe ended at the beggining of the year, while the States ended a bit earlier. I'd expect to see San Andreas on the Xbox about 6 months after it comes out on PS2, judging by the Xbox's Xmas line-up that's definetly a good thing.

That doesn't deny the fact that San Andreas isn't going to arrive on Xbox. And the Nintendo forum is better than this place.

That's what they said about the Twin Snakes, we still need to play both games. And the Getaway was designed by Team Soho, while Kill Zone is being designed by Guerilla, it's totally different.

Cusack, I'll gladly accept that if there is official sources saying that San Andreas will not be coming to the Xbox, then I'll just have to accept that I was wrong.

There's still no need to act like a prat about it.
