So now what can the GameCube owners boast about?? Many times I have heard about how the PS2 looks 'dull,' and 'boring,' but what's this? To celebrate selling 20 MILLION (yes, I did say 20 MILLION,) PS2's, Sony are bringing out the PS2 in 5 different colours, as well as the normal black!!

I don't like the yellow, but that silver looks rather ravishing...

You idiot, I meant 700 each! With only 2000 being made, they'll go for loads at auctions.

£290 x 5 = £1450
(£290 x 5)+ £199.99 = £1649.99

Sell all different colours for £700 and you make a loss of

£1649.99 - £700 = £949.99

I think the idea is that you collect them and sell it for £700 in 10 year's time.

Yeah, they are limited editions, but that really mean that they should be £90 more?

Is there something extra inside them that warrants this? Then again, is it such a big deal?

What a rip-off!

According to the SR news article, they're going to cost £90 more than the normal ones.

What a rip-off!

He can't be, his I.Q.'s too high ;-)

Damn NOM. Why do they have to get the Official Tag? It's not as if they've been "blessed" with the ability to write articles with more than two paragraphs.

A Ninty is some one who thinks that the Nintendo console is best.

A Sonyphile is the equivilant for Sony fans.

Some Sonyphiles (e.g. Wookiee and Resi) will be getting a Gamecube as well.
Other Nintys (Like Er-no and a few others) already have a PS2.

You get stupid types from both sides (although with NOM around, it's anyone's guess who gets the bad reputation!).
