U don't know wat ur missing, sure, gamecube + xbox are coming, but PS2 is rubbish and for £99.99, you can get a dreamcast, 4 games and a mem. card. Great games @ low prices.

You cannot seriously beleive that it's in no way dissapointing. Anyone who's happy with Sony and the way the console is developing is obviously happy to accept second best.

It's great fun to play and I enjoy the games, but there's no way it's reaching what it was hyped to be. Every week we're getting better and better games, but there's still a long way to go.

If the PS2 isn't generally dissapointing, then i'll go and buy an Xbox when they come out. (not that i've anything against the console, just don't have £300 to spend on ANOTHER games console!)

Care to expand on that, Longy? I'm still not convinced.

I'll definately be looking very closely at buying the SEGA games available on PS2 as i've always been a massive fan of their contributions to the gaming world.

For a parent looking to buy their child their first games console, the Dreamcast is a fantastic place to look. I've recommended a few friends look into getting one for the price, and it'll make a lot of young children's christmas.

The PS2 does seem very disappointing. It's certainly not the worst console ever made, but it's also not the best. Simply because the line up of games is a bit... dull. There are some excellent games in there, but not so many. Multiplayer STILL seems to be largely lacking, and if anyone would like to set me straight here, [Wookiee], then please do so. :0)

And the Dreamcast is a great console, bummed down because of street trend in simple minded children. It really is a shame. At present mind, it's probably not worth getting one, because all the good games are being remade for the next gen consoles.

So just buy all the next gen consoles instead, and buy every Sega game. :0)

Super Monkey Ball will be mine.

I don't see how ANY honest and sensible games-player can call the PS2 'rubbish'.

Of course it could be said that it hasn't lived up to the hype or reached anywhere NEAR it's potential, but it's far from rubbish. It's a good quality console with a lot of potential.

In the same way though, Dreamcast was never rubbish even though it didn't turn out to be such a huge success.

I agree, at £99 the Dreamcast is a fantastic bargain, but that's not to say getting a PS2 at £199 ain't either.
