Well, it's been at my house for about a month, but I was at uni taking exams, so I left it there.
But now it's set up, and not bad with it.
I've had no desire at all to play any games recently, so my copy of GTA VC remains sealed, but I did watch a dvd on it, and I have to say it wasn't bad at all, nothing like what people make it out to be (pap).
Obviously it wasn't as good as a normal dvd player (or my Q), but it still gave a good picture quality, no complaints here.
The control pad feels kind of awkward. I guess it's to be expected, the old design, and the transition from a cube pad. Buttons don't feel very nice either. Still, not gamed properly yet, so I'll save final judgement.
The console doesn't look too bad either. The blue and green LEDs are very nice. Overall: Slightly odd, and not as nice as my blue gamecube (spray-painted), but better than the cube when it was purple.
The Q is still the prettiest thing in my life :^)
I expect to live in fear of technical failure from the day the warranty expires, but until then I'm fairly happy with the thing...
...but why did they put the power switch at the back?
Okay, so recommend me some PS2 games to lift me from my spell of disinterest and get me gaming. Go!

Asking you for facts? What are you on about? I haven't asked you for anything.

I'm not looking for them because I've better things to do. Plus, many of the more blatant ones were made under your previous username, which I can't remember, but think ended in '123'.
Also, many have probably long since been deleted or archived. And if I'm honest, without knowing your previous name, I couldn't find them even if I were inclined to try. Which I'm not.
But that's not because they don't exist. I'm certain that Xbox forum regulars such as gamezfreak and Your Honour (if he's still around) will remember the type of biased nonsense you've written, because they too have commented on it in the past.

It was Ridge Racer 5 that got the spark going, I haven't played that in ages but I will soon. It's funny, the older PS2 games seem to be much more enjoyable than most newer ones.

Calm down here.
Jeez ... what a way to fly off the handle.
And for such an unoffensive comment.
*Inhales*
Can't we all just get along?
*Sees unicorns*
La-de-dah.
Dr D .... I'd probably say at the mo PS2 isn't doing so good .... not enough games making the grade. Although if you've never had one before you can chunk up on classic.
Try ICO, ratchet& clank ....

Its a bloody forum you stupid idiot. I can voice my opinion when I want and as many times as I want. In fact that is one of the most pathetic replies I have ever read. Ranting on like a gibbering fool. I like the bit where you ask me for facts yet you are the one raving on about posts which I have done in the past yet when I ask to see them you simply don't want to find them. Is that perhaps because they aren't even there you fool?
Might just give Ico a look. Played a short demo on a friend's PS2 once. Not bad.
You might've missed my recommendations in the ranting, but those three are PS2 exclusive and top notch games. Quite hard to find Ico and Gitaroo Man these days though.

That is the perception of those who don't own one. Personally I can't stand the controller it's been knocking around since 94/95? Whatever. Controllers have moved on.

Oh, PS2 exclusives for recommendations please.
Or stuff that's only PS2 and Xbox.
If it's on cube I'll get it there, prefer the controller.
