Why, Jet Set Radio and the new Conker game will surpass anything on the PS2 easily... very Nintendo stuff on here.

And Dead or Alive rules.

Anyone who tells me different can just go shush.

Why? I can't understand how some people hate the X-Box so much, it's a good console. Easily just as good as the GC and PS2.

I'd leave the PS2 alone.

I would much rather get an X-Box, though they interest me very little.

That is a comment i made a while back.

I still stand by it.

Damn my 'wanting a PS2 for no reason' feelings!

Yea that's what I feel too. It's as though the developers seem to think all the crap should appear on PS2, just mainly because it's the most popular console. I mean Pop Idol, come on they must be joking?

I think that's the reason I prefer the x-box, it's not as popular so all these developers don't see it as a good money maker, so it gets spared from all the crap like Pop Idol and other not so great games.

It's like a big corporate filter or somethin....

Apart from Microsoft of course, but hey, they did make the dang thing afterall.

Yup.

If you can't make up your own mind, then you probably don't want one and have more money than balmsam tissues.


But, since you asked .... right now I'd say PS2 isn't worth buying. It's going through a very dry patch - a lot of games just not quite making the grade.
I'd get a GC instead or an XB just behind that at the moment.
But I'm guessing you already have one or both of these.

Whatever.

Didn't get the option. I was at the end of my phone contract and I thought the lame phone and PS2 offer was better than shiny new-model phone...

Overall though... if I had an xbox I think Halo would be the only exclusive to intrerst me, and I'm not a big FPS fan. GTA edged it. Not really anything else I plan to buy for the PS2 at the moment.

I have no complaints about the reliability of the PS2, I've had mine since November 2001 and have had no problems with it.

*awaits for PS2 to die now*

I just can't find many games that interest me that's all.
