This is such a tough decision for me I have to ask my fellow gamers for their opinion.

Britney's Dance Beat - The blurb:
Experience Britney Like Never Before!
She's young, beautiful, and talented. Her dance moves are
as hot as her songs. And, only the best dancers can join
Britney Spears on her world tour. See if you have what it takes to back her up.

Features:
Starring Britney Spears, realistically transformed into 3D.
Choose from a variety of dancers to represent your skills.
Groove to Britney's hottest songs like "…Baby One More
Time" and "I'm A Slave 4 U".
Unlock exclusive Britney concert videos and 360 degree
Immersive Videos that let you control the camera.
Single and 2-Player dance competitions.

Release: Summer time-ish.

MGS2: Sons of Liberty - The blurb:

"Every PlayStation 2 owner simply has to play it"
9/10 PlayNation
"State-of-the-art gaming with intelligence and soul. You must own this game"
10/10 Official PlayStation2 Magazine
"Better than almost all others and deserves its place in the top one percent"
9/10 PlayStation World
"Arguably the best game ever, and it's already redefining what games are supposed to be like"
96% PSM2

Features:

The most anticipated PlayStation 2 game of the year.
Sequel to the legendary Metal Gear Solid - rated by many as
the best game for the PSone format.
Atmospheric soundtrack and cinematic music score by Harry
Gregson Williams.
Incredibly realistic graphics and astounding visual effects.
Complex and exciting story.
Fully interactive surroundings and intelligent enemies - a
game where anything can happen.
Stunning presentation and a wealth of game modes.
Includes bonus DVD: 'The Making of Metal Gear Solid 2'.

Release: Friday week.

So you can see my dilemma. Both these games look equally great, but if I save up my pennies for Britney's Dance Beat I'll be missing out on 'arguably the best game ever', but if I go for MGS2 now I might not have the spare cash around Summertime to enable me to 'experience Britney like never before'.

Graphically, from what I've seen, both games are equal. From the soundtrack point of view I've got to choose between the kicking MGS2 Gregson Williams score or all of Britney's fantastic hits. From the gameplay point of view I've got one of the most thrilling FPS/TPS control systems or bemani 'follow the buttons on screen' type controls, each as equally thrilling as the other.

I can't see anything to distinguish one over the other, so I put it to the forums: Which one should I get?

ICO is clearly not in the same league as Britney therefore does not enter the equation.

So does Otacon's parrot, so it's still a dilemma.

Holding the two things together in either hand and weighing up the situation..... squeeze right, squeeze left.... I'd go for the original choice: ICO.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
