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

Forget surround sound. We're talking about the CD player, not the extras.

ALL y DVD's are genuine. You obviously cannot see the shoddyness of the DVD player because you haven't seen a normal one.

If you're intent on having a DVD player, CD player, and all the gadgets, you can buy a shiny cube cube. Made by Panasnoic and Nintendo. I think Chipseh has one.

To play online with most games on ps2 you just have to buy the network adapter and then a game with online capabilities.You dont have to pay monthly like xbox, well, only on certain games like everquest.

The network adapter costs £25
XBox live kit costs £30-£37 then £30 a year.

As for online games there are some good ones SOCOM, NFSU, Hardware online, Fifa2004 etc
With plenty to come Socom II, GT4 etc

I'll go where I want. Have you ever heard the expression: Quality not quantity, cause this a perfect example.

Please re write that sentance, this time, make it make sense.

No it doesn't, thank god. Well, Nintendo. Worth £59.99? Funk off. I would pay no more than £5 for that heap of junk.

>
> PS2 has a CD-player, does GC?

No. Do you really spend £129.999 on a console to listen to music. As we're on the subject of music, with xbox, you can upload music, and listen to it, while playing.

Yes - all of which are superior to that of the PS2's.

So when you posted the following:
"Oh yeah and im not scared, i am prapared to argue all night (accept when im asleep)!"

you were not intending to make people laugh, you were being deadly serious.
