I wasnt saying annything negative about the GC i am a fan of it and if i had the money i would purchase one, infact it was my Bday a few days ago and ive been considering it for a while. When it comes to the FF exclusive, i wasnt beinig sarcastic, i am now sure to get a GC eventually just to play that which will eventually lead me on to other GC games. And ok AR
My main point is wether this idiot (not you but the guy who originaly posted) meant it or not, its something so may people say to PS2 owners and i dont quite get it, its almost like saying 'stop buying all the successful games'. Dont get me wrong i buy games that i think ill like, so sometimes it will be a game like GT4 or Vice City, but others ill opt for a different experience like Red Faction 2 (sheer madness), Shadow Hearts, The Bouncer (stop laughing...i said stop it...) and others. The reason People buy the succsessful games is because they've played the previous ones, they have read all the reviews, played it at there mates, rented it out, played it in that game shop down town that lets you play the games on show, they know what they are in for, whereas with a game thats not quite successful it is a risk, sometimes it doesnt pay off *cough*bouncer*cough* and alot of people arent willing to risk Ł40 on it.
Well theres my morning rant

No one is an idiot for buying a PS2.
The idiots are those who keep a closed mind, don't even consider playing games on other formats (obviously, you need to be able to afford it, which is fair enough for those who can't - but still - open mind!), and then decide to tell others which games they should and shouldn't like.
I for one don't like Tomb Raider games; in my opinion every last one of them has sucked so far and has given me no confidence in the next one, whether improved upon or not.
As far as that response to my mentioning of Final Fantasy on the GameCube, it is just as much the GameCube's own as Final Fantasy X2 is the Playstation 2's own. They're both exclusives. So what's your point?
As far as franchises go, I think Army Men is enough to prove a point, as has already been mentioned. I mean, what about the Pokémon franchise? Immediately sold more games than any other (with the exception of Super Mario Bros 3), yet, looking back at the original Pokémon games, they weren't actually that good.

If they're taking my money out of my idiocy the they can carry on as long as they keep makinf these brillaint games that we all idiotically buy,
