"Buying Time - PS2 Now? or X-Box later?"

OK, here's the thing. My gran sold some shares, so I've got £1500 just sitting there in the bank account, and it's all 'disposable income' i.e. I can spend it on whatever I wish to.

Thing is, I'm now having a dilemma.

I know the X-Box is going to be good, but I'm going to be waiting at least 6-8 months for it.

I know the Dreamcast is good, because I've got one and an ever increasing number of great games for it, and games are getting cheaper more quickly by the day.

But, there's a PS2 for sale just a few clicks away, brand new, with DVD remote, for £269.99, from SR. I could order it now, with Onimusha, The Bouncer, GT3, Zone of the Enders and Red Faction, with no problems.

If I do that, though, it means that my budget will be more restricted when X-Box time comes about, it also means that my collection of 14 Dreamcast games (plus more in the pipeline) may get made redundant overnight, and there's not all that many games out for the PS2 that I really want at the moment, but more are sure to come later. (MGS2, anyone?).

WHAT DO I DO?????????

Humm...I have read this over and over about 15 times, and although it's mildly amusing, I still don't understand what it's doing here. {:)

Now you know why 68 of them are blocked.

And I don't have a PS2 yet, I'm still stalling. I got a nice price for my DC collection, but having played a lot of it again last night, I'm still deliberating about whether to let it go or not...

FM has a PS2!!

Brilliant!!!

Have you been rejecting MSN lately FM??

LOL!!

Very good FM!!

*FM points out that these are Irish drawing pins, pointy ends on both sides*

*Luckily FM is slightly dim (as obvious by his choice to buy a PS2) and puts the pins point down. Thusly, not hurting YH at all.*

*FM, not noticing the sarcasm in YH's font, assists by adding drawing pins to the table surface*
