Why did I get a PS2?? Because the games for it appealed to ME.

Do Mario games appeal to me? No. Do Zelda games appeal to me? No.

Does MGS2 appeal to me? Yes. Does Smackdown 2 appeal to me? Yes.

Why is this?? Well, it's partly because the first ever console I got was a PSX, which unlike the N64, didn't specialise in cartoonie platformers (that is not a dig, just telling the truth.)

It's also just down to taste, I guess. While Mario and Donkey Kong appeal to some, Solid Snake and games such as GT3 appeal to others.

I remember going over to Darkness' house to play on the N64. I enjoyed it there, as Darkness is a good mate and we both love games, but you end up thinking to yourself, "I much prefer the PSX games."
Darkness felt the same way round my house I expect, but now he has a PS2-I don't feel like that anymore!

So people who say, "Ah, but the GameCube's specs are better and Nintendo are more experienced, that means the games will be better than on PS2!"
That my be true...for that person. This person may feel as though the games Nintendo create are better than what the PS2 has to offer.

But for me, I much prefer what the PS2 has to offer, which I'm sure people such as Wookie, Turbonutter, ssxpro and Bonus will agree with.

I guess I'm contradicting what I've said before in these forums, and I expect I will in the future. {:) Although, I expect we all do at some point. I mean-why are we all arguing over which console is 'best' on these forums?!

Anyway, one final thing. Good luck to you with your GameCube. I won't be buying it, and I hope it won't do as well as the PS2-but I hope you guys enjoy it.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

there rumors that MGS2 is coming to the gamebcube anyway

MGS2 and FF might still appear on the Cube.

Konami are making games for the Cube and Square want to (although I've heard that Nintendo are stupidly telling them no.)

Personally, I'm looking forward to the hottest multiplayer games around.

From Smash Brothers melee, Phantasy Star Online to Donkey Kong Racing.

Thank God I have 2 brothers to play against!

Actually, I want MGS2, FF and GT3... it's just those are the only games I want that are on the PS2 (except for the first 2 - still not released - ha!)... the N64, and later on the GC, will suit my gaming needs more.

Don't be silly Turbo. I have no intention of buying a PS2 but if I was given one free, I'd still keep it as an alternative.

I know you're very bitter about the mess some of the Ninty zealots left in your forum but try to keep a straight head on things. :-)

if you saw a good game turbonutter and you got one free (the gamecube) with a good game , i think any sane person would play it before they sell it , unless they were in short supply like ps2 was and you could sell it for 300 quid then i would and then buy one later on when they get back in stock !!

Well, let's pray (even if I'm not a religious man) that no-one is that stupid and gives it to someone that trully wants one then. Hint...Hint... :)

Maybe he won't be buying one because he doesn't like the games and he can't afford it.

ANt you say "people cant say the GAmecube is better becasue it isnt out yet" yet u state u definitly wont buy one. your saying the future is open, but slamming the door.

English Scum?

Nah, Ninty's and Sonyphiles.

It's like how we called the Germans Jerrys and they had a name for us too.

Anyway, this console arguing helps pass the time until the Gamecube launch. Keep it up!!
