For christmas my mum is giving me £200 and I was thinking of buying a silver PS2.

Should I or not?

I'd pick GC over PS2 anyday.
But you won't be dissapointed with a PS2 - there's been somewhat of a boom of fantastic games since about August (making up for the very lame spell in the spring)

Me too. And a GC.

I'd sell you both, but you'd have to prise my PS2 from my cold, dead fingers!

They all have their merits, but I'd give up the others (if I had to) well ahead of my PS2.

Of course, that's just my preference.

That said, I know I'm getting games for Xmas, and they are all on either PC or XBOX. Only because I bought all the PS2 games I wanted for myself, though.

As for which colour... the silver ones look very nice, but... you can't beat the classic black! :-)

I have the Satin Silver model and theres no real difference except for the noise, damn quiet! :) However, I found it loads much quicker than my old PS2, one of the first models that Im pretty sure is dying, so the loading time probably ain't no different...

The controllers are cool in silver but like Clazon said below, spend £100 on a regular one and spend the rest of the money on games, extras and stuff.

No.

Do you have a GC?
They're far superior to the PS2.
