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!

It better be that damn good, I aren't going through this trouble for nothing.

FM, are you getting paid to mention SOCOM? Just wondered. Or is it really that good?
P.S. As of today there are 502 games released for the PS2 in the UK, you're kinda spoilt for choice :)

Final Fantasy X (100 hours plus of RPG goodness, Final Fantasy XII is on its way in the next 12-18 months)
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (Lifetime of driving, 200 hours to complete it, Gran Turismo 4 is out maybe December this year)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (PS2 showcase, great if you've never played any of this shooter series before, MGS3 is out next year)
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 (Best golf game, ever, better than golf itself, or wait for PGA 2004)
Frequency (Push the buttons in time to the music, hardest game ever, yet very rewarding, about to be replaced by the online sequel, Amplitude)
SOCOM: US Navy SEALS (this is the game broadband and network adaptors were made for, if you go online with the PS2 this is a must buy, SOCOM 2 is out in November in the U.S., no European date set yet)
Take your pick from 100s of others like the platformers Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Maximo etc., the racers Burnout 2, Ridge Racer V, Auto Modellista, F1, Colin McRae, the RPGs Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Drakan the Ancients' Gates, Kingdom Hearts, the beat'em ups Virtua Fighter 4, Tekken 4, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, the weird and wonderful like ICO, Silent Hill 3, Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, the list is pretty much endless. Pick a genre you like and there's a AAA title out there for it in the PS2's back catalogue.
