how poor the quality of the pictures they will come back crying to nintendo and sega.

sniper, yeah, there are games like Zelda and Sonic, although Sonic is very childish now. There is Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo 2000, Driver 2, Alundra 2, WWF Smackdown 2, and a load of other brilliant games on the PSX. And I'm sure there will be some on the PS2 as well. IS TIMESPLITTERS A LAUNCH GAME???

Well, for a 'difficult' machine, it sure doesn't seem to be doing too badly.

> Then why is Sony flouting the PS2 as a home entertainment system?

NES = Nintendo Entertainment System
SNES = Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Are consoles not entertainment enough? The DVD is an added bonus.

This is the PS2 forum though.

Which next gen system are you going to get, and why?

Will you Sony people shut up about their PS2's, who cares if you opt for them, get the madhine you want either a GC or X-Box if you don't like Sony.
Guys they are losing £65 for each console, and have they ever had games from them like Zelda or Sonic?

Nice try but you forgot one thing. This was the N64 and Saturns worst point!
The games that made the N64 so good were made by Rare and Nintendo, so the N64 didn't do too badly.
Sony however is RELYING of third party support and made by making the PS2 hard to make games for, it can't make games itself so...

To everyone that has pre-ordered, the PS2 is going to be the dogs b*****ks. DVD or no DVD, it is still the best, AT THE MOMENT.

The PSX was the best when it came out, and so far i am still impressed with it. Let's hope the PS2 holds out as well as it.

My verdict...

1. The apperance of the PS2 looks cool, stealthy and
sophisticated like Sony's other creations, like the
MiniDisk.

2. DVD Wannabe? What? I said to my other
gamers: 'Wouldn't it be cool to see some cutscenes in
DVD?' and it came true.

3. The games are of VERY high standard and the graphics
are challanging Hollywood special effects.

4. The controller looks like the PSX's, but, little do
you know it, the buttons have 48 pressure sensetive
stages built in it, which means the game reacts to how
hard or softly you push.

5. It is locked up tight and secure against all chipping
and alteration, this is why the release date was
pushed back.

ROCK ON, SONY!

I agree. Even if it's not brilliant, it saves having to buy one separatly, unless you're soooo fussy that you have to get one thats absolutely peeeerfect. And the PS2 is a CD-player, like the PSX.
