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!

Yes I did one post but you are being such a d*ck about you are going to drag it on and on until you have tried to make a little point. The sad thing is the fact that you can't find any of these other posts I have supposedly done.
*Chuckles*

I haven't noticed a change. You are the same idiot who was up at nearly 2:00am arguing over something you don't have the evidence for.
> Not!
Theres me thinking you had changed even though I have never seen you post on these forums before you decided to start a stupid argument because I think there are only four PS2 games worth owning. When will people realise that others are entitled to express their opinions?!

All of that was done in one post over a year a go and whats this about software I haven't tried? I have MGS2 for my Xbox. Resident Evil Code Veronica for my Dreamcast which is actually a better version of the game due to the Dreamcast's antialiasing capabilities and with the updates for the GameCube version another great PS2 title will be available on another next generation console. I have both GTA's for the PC which I run off my brothers computer because mine isn't good enough. I have Winning Eleven 6: Final Evolution for my GameCube imported from Japan. The only games on the PS2 that I would get are Devil May Cry and Tenchu 3. I completed Devil May Cry when I got it last Christmas but thought it was an amazing game. Tenchu 3 I have played a lot at my friends house and I am a huge fan of the series. I have gotten 100% on both GTA 3 and GT3 as they were titles I highly anticipated. GTA 3 I now own on the PC and I wouldn't go near a Gran Turismo game again after how long 3 took me to complete.
Whats you point?
I have owned or played all the major PS2 titles and along with the fact that every multi-format PS2 game I owned was the worst version I had on any console and the fact that there are only 2 PS2 exclusives that interest me.
What makes me laugh is the fact that you think I am making this up and that I haven't played all these *top* PS2 titles when the fact is I have played or owned them and there isn't more than a couple of games I would actually buy for it.
I will let you into a little secret here. You know when I type something in the message box? Its actually coming from my PC which makes it my opinion. I can talk as much or as little about a console as I like and just because you seem to think I am some sort of multi-generate fan boy isn't going to stop me voicing my opinion on the PS2. I have nothing against the console itself, its the games and the sheer lack of games which I owned/want to own again.
I also have a PSONE sat next to me with over 90 games and I would go as far sa saying that it was my favourite console of all time. I aren't against Sony like your warped mind seems to think.

Erm... I think you will find Goldfish have a memory span of around 15 seconds. Remembering ONE post which I did 400 days a go is pretty good going in the memory department.

No facts still? Shame really because I was starting to think you were going somewhere and then when the evidence is required you let me down at the last minute again! Never mind. Maybe you can accuse me of something else then make something new up? Come on have some fun, if you stay up til 2:00am replying to this thread I am sure you must have more to say about me.
*Waits in anticipation*

Its called my opinion. Nothing fan boyish about it. I think there are around four games worth owning and if I want to say it I will. I haven't once said that only four games is bad, instead you seem to jump at the slightest thing and go ranting off about it like a gibbering monkey.
> And when you do, it's something negative.
Obviously you are joking with this? I suppose you have missed my comments praising Devil May Cry, GTA 3 amongst other in the past? Perhaps not even Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3?

Well done! Award yoursaelf a sticker. You managed to realise that I don't own a PS2. Its like going roudn and round in circles. ITS MY OPINION and if I want to voice it I will. People can challenge my opinion which is good. However you just went off on a huge rant about me being anti PS2 and all I post is anti PS2 posts. Pfft! Get a life, the world doesn't revolve around the PS2.

You aren't going back over any posts? Yet you are saying I am the one who has posted all the posts saying how rubbish the PS2 is? I think your memory is the one is question here.

Copy of the post? Where did you get that from? Ahhhh... I see now. You probably picked that up in the same place you picked up all this information about my PS2 posts. Never mind I know you need to keep yourself entertained. Not to mention me :)

The words of a loser. Someone who can't back his arguments up with evidence so instead he makes the excuse of me not worth the effort.. Its quite clear that I am worth the effort as you keep replying to my posts at even 1:54 am.

Making things up again I see. You may not bookmark copies of my posts but you seem to be quick to judge me and accuse me of doing them in the first place. Someone set up an advanced search engine on these forums so if I can find the post I will give you the link because it was VERY funny indeed. Oh how times change. Shame you find it hard to move along with them though.
> And you call me an idiot?
If you define idiot as someone who accuses others and then can't back the accusations up with evidence. then yes I am. I thought it was polite of me to be honest because I could be much more brutal :)
You still haven't answered my Wookie question. I take it that its you...

You still haven't answered my Wookie question. I take it that its you...
*Sniggers*
Before you start ranting on again consider the fact that you won't change my opinion and you won't stop me from posting my opinion. There was nothing fan boyish about it, there aren't more than four PS2 exclusives that I would get if I purchased a PS2 again and because the post came from my PC I think you will find that I aren't speaking for everyone, I am speaking for myself.
GO AWAY!!!
Yes, please do.
No one cares about your petty arguments. Just face the facts - you're both too damn stubborn to change your opinions about anything, therefore this argument is totally useless.

PS2 and Pro evo 2.
Its all you need!
If your a football fan anyway...I'm still playing it pretty much every day since it was released last year.
