I think PS2 is better because it doesnt have those big controlers and The PS2 has got a internet adaptor!

I too prefer the GameCube controller - though in Viewtiful Joe, I find my left index finger starts to ache when using the L button a lot.
I do that every time I play an FPS and want to strafe right whilst turning left.

How often do you do that when you are playing a game?
For me the gamecube controller is the best.

It is only a few millimetres bigger than the Playstation 2, and is more symmetrical.

That is why Microsoft brought out the 'controller S'.

The PS2 can not be placed vertically without running the risk of your laser getting out of alignment.

Yes, but you don't need any memory cards. After all, it has an 8GB hard disk drive.

And that's a reason not to by a standard Xbox, because the clear green version looks worse than the black one. That's a laughable excuse.

£19.99 is the reccomended retail price. The same price as the DVD remote for the Playstation 2, which is required to use all the PS2 DVD functions.

As far as I am aware, the PS2 uses PS2 goods only. Sure, some are third party, but if they're not compatable with the PS2, then they're just as useless as products not designed for the Xbox.

Oh what a shame. Vice City was released later on the Xbox.

Funnily enough, that's a Sony product.

You cart around a PS2 as a portable machine?
Tell me, when are you going to use it where there is no TV?

They're £5 better too.

PS2 must be the best because more products are advertised for the PS2?
You really are as dumb as your username looks.

The fact I knock both thumbs together if I move the left analogue stick to the right, and the right analogue stick to the left is enough for me to class it as poor design.

Wrong.
The majority of EXCLUSIVES that I can name for the Playstation 2 aren't even worth owning to make it look like you've got a larger collection of games.
