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?????????
