Will the PS2 Prevail when both the GC and X-Box hit ul shores next year?

Only give your Mum access to the money, that's a good way of not spending anything.

My will power is a bit on the rubbish to be honest, but I'll give it a go.

I'll just try and save £30 a month or something and see how I go.

They should do that but I don't think they do. Most of the independant PC retailers used to have 'Buy your PC in Bits' schemes where you could pay so much in per week or month and then take the equipment you needed to build your PC, some still do it, it's a good way of keeping the cashflow going for small independant retailers.

For SR to administer such a scheme for its customers may cost them more in red tape than they'd actually gain so I don't think they'd do it.

Your money is always better in your hands than anyone elses anyway. Just open a small savings account and pay so much per week into that, at least you'll get some interest on it if you don't lose your will power and withdraw it one night for a mad night of drinking with your mates.

FM good choice to go for an XBox.

I may well put a deposit down for one with SR in the next couple of weeks.

Do you know if they do a scheme where I can pay it off bit by bit between now and release, 0% interest kind of thing?

Nope, I'm holding out until I finally *snap*. Ideally, I want to get the most I can out of my Dreamcast, there's a load of games I'd still like to get for it that I've never yet played, so I might as well squeeze it for all it's worth.

Then I'm getting an X-Box.

Meantime, should Sons of Liberty or Final Fantasy X come out and the world go mad over them like they did when they came out for the PSX, I'll seriously consider getting a PS2 for just those two games, but the price will have to drop first.

That would mean I end up with 3 consoles, which is totally excessive in my view, as the most I ever had at anytime was two (Megadrive and PSX).

But then, I AM a mad gamer, so maybe the obsessive purchasing of 3 consoles could be justified by that.

That reminds me, did you decide to get a PS2 in the end?

PS2 is the only console so far to play DVDs right out of the box.

PS2 was the FIRST next gen console on the market (after the Dreamcast).

PS2 has over 232 games either on the shelf, due for release or in production. Given that the PSX has over 600 games out for it and that the PS2 is backwards compatible with a large portion of them, there is a huge catalogue of games for it, more than any other console in history perhaps.

It should be noted that the PS2 is the ONLY next-gen console that IS backwards compatible, unless you include the GBA and the Gamecube. (Not quite on the same level though, is it?).

PS2 has analogue buttons on its joypads, a major advancement enabling more interactive gameplay and control in games than was previously possible.

The PS2 is dropping in price already, so that come release day for its rivals, the PS2 should be available at the same cost or thereabouts.

The PS2, like the PSX before it, should be the first console to get Metal Gear 2 Sons of Liberty released on it. MANY gamers haven't bought the PS2 yet, because they are waiting just for that one game.

Same goes for the Final Fantasy series, people are just biding their time, awaiting for the PS2's first FF release.
