How many shops have you been in this Christmas and seen PS2 games being sold for £29.99 or less. Comet, Dixons, PC World they are all at it and the reason they can afford to sell PS2 games at that price is the fact they can offset the price against the many more sales they will get for that particular title.

Then ask yourself how many Xbox and GC titles you see for these sort of prices Sony make gaming affordable hell they even have Platinium games that are £20 or 2 of £30 in a lot of places.

Yeah I know, Nintendo are still treating Europe crapply. But at the end of the day they're still making more profit than Sony and Microsoft so it's not all bad for them.

Yeah, but all the games that atre 29.99 are a load of balls mainly. I think the only good quality games I've seen around 29.99 are Rez, Project Eden and Wipeout Fusion, all of which are undeniably less attractive to a buyer than the likes of 40 pound games such as James Bond, Fifa 2003 and Vice City.

heh nice one Tilta, and thx for the comment u made, i think i do need to stop inunvertably apologising in some of my posts and should take more of the approach which your taking especially with prize muppet posts like the one youve just pointed out by TS heh the only main reason i apologise sometimes is to cover myself so i dont inunvertably get banned by the silly muppets that i tend to make examples of lol neways carry on as you were Tilta :)

Have to get the conversion spot-on OH OH DEAR that sounds like converting a Ferrari to gas power.

Say one nice thing about the GameCube, and one nice thing about the Xbox. It's a dare.

You moron you ask me where the sequel to a game is then you ask me where the prequel to another game is.

You're as stupid as Top Score.

Fact is they play much better than the PS2 versions and neither of you have anythig real to say in defence of the PS2.

I'm guessing you're Dave RJR with a different name.

Run along kiddy's.

I just like laughing at all the comments of Ninty and Xbox fanboys trying to justify the choice they made.

There is only one console of choice and the whole world seems to agree PS2 rules.

Burnout 2 is coming out at the end of Feb. Probably because they have to get the conversion spot-on and utilise the GC's superior framerate instead of doing a cheap and lazy portover.

LOL you fudging moron.

I was showing what games play better on the Gamecube and you had nothing to say in real defence of the PS2 so came out with this drivel.
