When looking at my title you might think that I am saying that the PS2 is rubbish, or how much the xbox and gamecube are gonna wipe the floor with it, but this could not be further from the point. It is at this point I will warn you that this post is VERY long.
It is now almost a year since the Playstation 2 was released. I currently have 6 games for my Playstation 2. Although this might not seem many to some people, I am happy with the games I have got and there is not too many other games out that I really really want. Although more funding would have meant I would have had some of those good but not desperate to get games.
I am the type of person that if I get an idea into my head, i do it. Due to my tendency to do this I need certain games on release day. I even took in 2 of my games, as well as 4 of my sisters gameboy games (unkown to her, of course) so that I could get Time Crisis 2 as soon as it came out.
As I said previously, I am currently happy with my games collection. Then along comes November, and a flurry of games. I have been eagerly anticipating Pro Evolution, GTA3, Tony Hawks, Airblade, Burnout, Silent Hill 2 the list goes on, and on.... and on. With me living on canned food being a 'student dosser' in the words of my all knowing Uncle (Doc H if anyone ever peruses the nokia ringtone newsgroup) I have a severe lack of cash at the moment. It would be impossible for me to even buy one of these games in my situation. I do not like renting the games as they just increase my desire to buy the game.
I do not often post topics on the message boards, but have been a member for a while (as you can see by looking at my stats). I do not usually feel the need to post as other peoples discussions are very informative and show a lot of viewpoints similar to my own.
Today I read that Devil May Cry has been delayed until Mid December(ish). At first I was devastated, but once I have thought about it I would welcome this for a lot of games. Personally, I would prefer games to be delayed by even longer times so that releases were not too congested. This way my anticipation would grow, but I would not lose interest by renting the game out or playing it at a friends house. This way I would also possible buy more games as I would not waste my money through a lean patch of games. I know that my views would not be shared with everyone here, hopefully I am not alone with my thinking though, especially all of us skint 'student dossers'.
I warned you it would be very long.
