With all these new games consoles (XBOX and Gamecube) being released, Here's 66 reasons to ignore them and keep your your Playstation2. Why 66? erm... because thats the year England won the world cup... and it's just a great number don't you think?
1)Its Playstation TWO, it's learned from it's predecessor and is the new improved version of the most successfull games console ever.
2)Playstation2 Pads are just the best, who wants to hold the XBOX controller? Its the size of most small cars. And as for the Gamecube one, it looks really strange with those detached analogue sticks at the bottom.
3)Its sleak and black. Who wants a pink cube with a handle? Or a suitcase with an X on?
4)It stands two ways, WOW.
5)Everyone hates Microsoft, despite the fact they all have PC's with Windows installed.
6)The XBOX has a big irritating green bubble on it and the pad. Why cant you press it? What does it do? Why is it there?
7)XBOX will set you back an extra £100.
8)The XBOX peripherals are also more expensive. £25 for a controller, £29 for a memory card. (well, OK, not much more)
9)Playstation2 plays DVD's straight from the box. No £30 add on required.
10)The XBOX controllers come out of the console if you trip on them. Do you know anyone whose console has broken as a result of someone tripping on the leads? If you pull the controller slightly whilst playing an exiting game it'll come out. How irritating!
11)Bill Gates doesn't need your money.
12)You need three hands to hold the XBOX controller, and press the buttons at the same time.
13)The 'Playstation' logo twists 45 degrees. Hours of amusement.
14)XBOX has a hard drive. Cue viruses and illegal operations, because essentially its a PC in a console.
15)If we want cartoon graphics all the time we'll buy a disney film. Playstation2 is more adult and realistic. It boasts blood and weapons, Gamecube is for children.
16)Black 'ribbed' design on XBOX. Hmm, haven't we seen that somewhere before?
17)Gamecube comes in multiple colours. Anyone remember the N64? Black goes with everything.
18)Playstation2 adverts rock. The third place is well cool.
19)Whereas the XBOX adverts just scare you. They're so weird it puts you off. Who see's a man flying through the air rapidly ageing and then crashing into a grave and thinks 'I'll go buy a games console'?
20)£10 on average more for an XBOX game than a Playstation2 one. Why?
21)You've already filled up all the plugs around your telly. Any more could cause a fire hazard.
22)Metal Gear Solid2. Ok, it may some day be appearing on XBOX, but right now you can only play the world greatest game on Playstation2.
23)Playstation2 fits in that gap under your telly. XBOX is so big it probably doesn't, and Gamecube has a 'flip' lid so it needs several inches ceiling clearance so you can get the discs in.
24)XBOX is the most unimaginative name for a console ever. And Gamecube is just a description of what it is. Playstation2 rocks.
25)There's just too much slack when using an XBOX controller. The cord is so long it can travel around the room several times, knocking over vases and getting tangled around chair legs. Why? Who plays it from the other end of the house?
26)Bill Gates wouldn't know fun unless it came on a disk.
27)There's a Britney Spears game coming out on Playstation2..... Justin, are you mad?
28)You can use all your old Psone peripherals with Playstation2, Money saved! (unfortunately not memory cards though).
29)Playstation2 has three (count them) different coloured lights. One button flashes green & red, the other blinks blue! - No contest.
30)When linked together, Playstation2's can be used as a nuclear launch control device. Well according to tabloid rumours anyway. Maybe Saddam just wanted to play Pro Evolution Soccer simultaneously on 200 machines?
31)Jak and Daxter - Only on Playstation2. The best platformer ever!
32)Playstation2 sold out when it was launched. Therefore it must be decent. XBOX is widely available everywhere just a couple of weeks after it was released, so it can't be that popular.
33)You've already spent £200/£300 on the machine, and who knows how much on games. Why spend even more on consoles and waste what you've spent? Stick with it.
34)Gran Turismo 3. Only on Playstation2, and staying that way. There's also the inevetable sequel to look forward to.
35)Metal Gear Solid 2. So good I put it twice.
36)You can't rest your cup of tea on a Gamecube. It'll go everywhere when you open the lid.
37)Sequels - Timesplitters2, Onimusha2, Soul Calibur2, Red Faction2, and WRC2 to name but a few.
38)Sequels of sequels - Colin McRae 3, V-Ralley 3, Tenchu 3, and Driver 3.
39)Sequels of sequels of sequels - Virtua Fighter 4, Tekken 4, and assumingly - Tony Hawks 4 and GTA4?
40)The Playstation2 Broadband system (PlaystationBB) is set to be released later this year. We'll soon be downloading film trailers, music samples, game demos, and levels. Sending email and playing against people in other countries, in our own bedrooms - Cant wait!
41)On the subject of Playstation2 online - Games, Such as Gran Turismo, MGS2, and Resident Evil are all set to have downloadable extras available. Roll On PlaystationBB!
42)Just to wet your apetite, here's a list of the best 'completely network' games in development:
>GT Online [SCEI] (working title)
>Resident Evil Online [CAPCOM]
>Final Fantasy XI [SQUARE]
>Bomberman Online [HUDENSOFT]
>Auto Modelista [CAPCOM]
>Ace Combat Online [NAMCO]
43)Your Friends all have Playstation2's. Keep your's and you can swap, borrow, or just steal their games. This way you get to play more games for free!
44)You probably don't have any spare Scart sockets in the back of your telly have you? Don't bother with swapping them all around, just keep your Playstation2.
45)Playstation2 has an expansion bay. Not only does this sound cool, but it is usefull for storing crumpets, or slices of toast, or even small mice.
46)The Getaway. If if ever does get released, it will be fantastic. Then again, it might just be rubbish.
47)Playstation2 was out first, so there!
48)Pro Evolution Soccer. Only on Playstation2, and the best football game in existence. PES2 coming soon?
49)Did I mention Metal Gear Solid 2?
50)Playstation2 price cut imminant? £169.99 rumored. OK, not really a reason to KEEP your PS2, but a great excuse to get one.
51)XBOX controller is a dreamcast controller painted black and with a big green blob stuck over the gap. Also has an extra analouge stick - wow.
52)If you like rally games - keep your Playstation2. V Rally 3, Colin Mcrae 3, Pro Rally 2002, WRC, EA Sports Rally (working title) and Rally Championship are all either available, or on the way. Phew!
53)XBOX gets Playstation2 games after we've had them. SSX Tricky, GTA3, and Tony Hawks 3 are prime examples.
54)Playstation2 is made by top electronics manufacturer SONY. Rhymes with more words than 'Microsoft' or 'Nintendo'.
55)Playstation2 has a sliding disc tray. Gamecube has a flip-lid, thats like sooo PSone.
56)Tomb Raider Next-Gen. We want Lara, on Playstation2. Mmmm, rendered rear.
57)If you get a new console, You'll have to learn all of the button layouts again. You'll find it difficult for weeks - why bother? Don't cause yourself unnecessary problems.
58)The XBOX is so big, you'll need a forklift to carry it home from the shops.
59)Playstation2 plays PSone games. They may look rubbish now, but thats not the point is it?
60)You don't want to run up a huge electricity bill. Judging by it's size, XBOX probably consumes more energy than your average house.
61)'MagicGate' technology only on Playstation2. No-one knows or cares what it does, it just sounds impressive.
62)Platinum Games are now available on Playstation2. What better excuse to buy Gran Turismo3, Dead or Alive2 or Tekken Tag? And all for £20, Bargain.
63)Final Fantasy x. What can I say, roll on May.
64)XBOX sctratches your discs. We don't want that now do we?
65)No one talks about what they did on XBOX. Get with the crowd, talk to friends and collegues about GTA3 and where you've got to on MGS2. Dont be left out.
66)Finally, Playstation2 is here for a while. Expect XBOX XP to be out this time next year. And Gamecube to have been forgotten about by around the same time.
So there you go, finished at last. I hope you dont all get annoyed, but this is just what I think. It is in the PSone & 2 forum after all. Im sure XBOX and Gamecube will be great, really! But keep your Playstation2.

30)When linked together, Playstation2's can be used as a nuclear launch control device. Well according to tabloid rumours anyway. Maybe Saddam just wanted to play Pro Evolution Soccer simultaneously on 200 machines?
31)Jak and Daxter - Only on Playstation2. The best platformer ever!
32)Playstation2 sold out when it was launched. Therefore it must be decent. XBOX is widely available everywhere just a couple of weeks after it was released, so it can't be that popular.
33)You've already spent £200/£300 on the machine, and who knows how much on games. Why spend even more on consoles and waste what you've spent? Stick with it.
34)Gran Turismo 3. Only on Playstation2, and staying that way. There's also the inevetable sequel to look forward to.
35)Metal Gear Solid 2. So good I put it twice.
36)You can't rest your cup of tea on a Gamecube. It'll go everywhere when you open the lid.
37)Sequels - Timesplitters2, Onimusha2, Soul Calibur2, Red Faction2, and WRC2 to name but a few.
38)Sequels of sequels - Colin McRae 3, V-Ralley 3, Tenchu 3, and Driver 3.
39)Sequels of sequels of sequels - Virtua Fighter 4, Tekken 4, and assumingly - Tony Hawks 4 and GTA4?
40)The Playstation2 Broadband system (PlaystationBB) is set to be released later this year. We'll soon be downloading film trailers, music samples, game demos, and levels. Sending email and playing against people in other countries, in our own bedrooms - Cant wait!
41)On the subject of Playstation2 online - Games, Such as Gran Turismo, MGS2, and Resident Evil are all set to have downloadable extras available. Roll On PlaystationBB!
42)Just to wet your apetite, here's a list of the best 'completely network' games in development:
>GT Online [SCEI] (working title)
>Resident Evil Online [CAPCOM]
>Final Fantasy XI [SQUARE]
>Bomberman Online [HUDENSOFT]
>Auto Modelista [CAPCOM]
>Ace Combat Online [NAMCO]
43)Your Friends all have Playstation2's. Keep your's and you can swap, borrow, or just steal their games. This way you get to play more games for free!
44)You probably don't have any spare Scart sockets in the back of your telly have you? Don't bother with swapping them all around, just keep your Playstation2.
45)Playstation2 has an expansion bay. Not only does this sound cool, but it is usefull for storing crumpets, or slices of toast, or even small mice.
46)The Getaway. If if ever does get released, it will be fantastic. Then again, it might just be rubbish.
47)Playstation2 was out first, so there!
48)Pro Evolution Soccer. Only on Playstation2, and the best football game in existence. PES2 coming soon?
49)Did I mention Metal Gear Solid 2?
50)Playstation2 price cut imminant? £169.99 rumored. OK, not really a reason to KEEP your PS2, but a great excuse to get one.
51)XBOX controller is a dreamcast controller painted black and with a big green blob stuck over the gap. Also has an extra analouge stick - wow.
52)If you like rally games - keep your Playstation2. V Rally 3, Colin Mcrae 3, Pro Rally 2002, WRC, EA Sports Rally (working title) and Rally Championship are all either available, or on the way. Phew!
53)XBOX gets Playstation2 games after we've had them. SSX Tricky, GTA3, and Tony Hawks 3 are prime examples.
54)Playstation2 is made by top electronics manufacturer SONY. Rhymes with more words than 'Microsoft' or 'Nintendo'.
55)Playstation2 has a sliding disc tray. Gamecube has a flip-lid, thats like sooo PSone.
56)Tomb Raider Next-Gen. We want Lara, on Playstation2. Mmmm, rendered rear.
57)If you get a new console, You'll have to learn all of the button layouts again. You'll find it difficult for weeks - why bother? Don't cause yourself unnecessary problems.
58)The XBOX is so big, you'll need a forklift to carry it home from the shops.
59)Playstation2 plays PSone games. They may look rubbish now, but thats not the point is it?
60)You don't want to run up a huge electricity bill. Judging by it's size, XBOX probably consumes more energy than your average house.
61)'MagicGate' technology only on Playstation2. No-one knows or cares what it does, it just sounds impressive.
62)Platinum Games are now available on Playstation2. What better excuse to buy Gran Turismo3, Dead or Alive2 or Tekken Tag? And all for £20, Bargain.
63)Final Fantasy x. What can I say, roll on May.
64)XBOX sctratches your discs. We don't want that now do we?
65)No one talks about what they did on XBOX. Get with the crowd, talk to friends and collegues about GTA3 and where you've got to on MGS2. Dont be left out.
66)Finally, Playstation2 is here for a while. Expect XBOX XP to be out this time next year. And Gamecube to have been forgotten about by around the same time.
So there you go, finished at last. I hope you dont all get annoyed, but this is just what I think. It is in the PSone & 2 forum after all. Im sure XBOX and Gamecube will be great, really! But keep your Playstation2.
Blimey, you must have some stamina!
Ctrl C + Ctrl V :D nah good post

Actually its not the most successful games console ever, the GameBoy is the most successful. But PS1 is the most successful home console(not portable, even though it kinda is portable now).

Not really. Along the production of PS2 in Japan they ran into some problems. PS2 was going to launch in America with 1 million units only 500,000 were shipped. PS2 had big demands in America, so Europe was pushed aside.
Xbox has a plant in Hungary supplying consoles, which is the first European console factory ever. They supply 15,000 consoles a day, and can re-stock stores any where in Europe within a 3 day period.
