G'won. Tell me the many reasons as to why I should get a PS2, now that the XBox is out. I'm curious to hear it from someone else's point of few. Now, the thing that I ain't gonna do in this post is say just how awful the Playstation2 is and why the XBox is better and I ain't gonna say the XBox is awful and Playstation2 is better, I'm just gonna be honest.
To begin with, you might want to know that I originally paid £300 for my Playstation, all those 6 years ago, I believe and I found it a great experience. It was the time when Sega were never heard of anymore, and Sony just came out with game after game after game. Each one, graphically more superior then the one before and it's probably fair to say that some of the great games have appeared on the PlayStation.
Then, times moved on, and so did technology and it was only a matter of time before Sony had to released something. Please enter the PS2. There were lots of mixed opinions to begin with as to whether or not it was really worth £300. The same is happening with the XBox, as I type this. Why spend £300 on a console? I mean, think about it for a moment. £300 isn't just casual change, it's a hell of a lot of money.
After a long time of waiting, Sony then went into hyper drive and after the much needed release of Grand Theft Auto 3, people have been swarming in the shops to get their greasy mits on a this machine.
It's really got 3 games that interest me more then anything. GTA3, Pro Evo Soccer and of course, the one and only MGS2. In my opinion, it's perhaps worth buying the console just for MGS2 (even though I'm yet to play on it), as the first one; no matter how much you play on it, is always superior.
ISS Pro Evolution Soccer. The game that had me hooked for months and months on end and I actually played on it so much that when it came to February - a year after it was released and ISS Pro Evolution Soccer 2 was out - I was still playing on it. Without a doubt, Konami are the gods of football games and their Pro Soccer series shows this.
So far, I've been talking about how superior the PS2 is. So, I've somehow got to fit XBox into this, as otherwise, it would be no fun .
The worlds most powerful console.
8GB Hard drive
More games designers then anyone
All sounds like a dream come true, until you look at it's price tag of £300. That's the thing that has to put you off. As soon as the price drop by Sony was announced, everyone wanted their PS2 for XMas. Now that the GameCube is coming out in only a matter of months, everyone is either gonna get one of them, or have no money left due to their love of the PS2.
So, how really can XBox can compete? Is there really any point in wasting £100 more, on the worlds most powerful console, just so I can say I've got one and by unique? I'm saying this in a PS2 forum, so I can already tell what you're gonna say, but please, shed some light on me and let me see more then 3 reasons as to why I should get a PS2.

I guess it all depends on what games you like, in saying that though a lot of the games will be out on all three consoles. I have a PS2 and am very happy with it, I may buy and Xbox and/or gamecube but not for some time and not until the prices drop. You could pay for an xbox but you have to ask is the extra money you would spend worth it as the graphics etc aren't greatly different and the games are a bit more expensive.
Others will argue all the points about each console being better but I think only you can really decide Tom, what kind of games you like, which controller you prefer, if graphics, hard disks,DVD player etc are all very important or just extras.
