I pre-ordered my PS2 of theslammer.com a few days ago, and they say I should get it before Christmas, and I'm SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!
I just hope that theslammer.com is a decent site, does anyone know much about them.
Anyway, I've just read what Kieran said about TTT, and he wouldn't lie. I've read reviews on Timesplitters, which is meant to be a great game. I've seen screenshots of GT2000, which look so realistic I could be watching GT Racing on TV!! MGS2 looks like being the best game ever...EVER made!! SSX Snowboarding looks brilliant, so does ISS 2000, FIFA 2001 AAAAAAHHHH!!!! SO MANY TOP CLASS GAMES!!! I'm sorry to any DC or GC fans but I'm just very excited. I was almost swayed towards the DC by people, but I'm glad I went ahead with what I wanted!!!!
I know that a lot of you respected people on this site, are excited like me. So for now, just dream of the day when you open your package, and you see the beautiful PS2 console in your hands, along with a controller, some leads, and maybe a couple of games as well.
NOVEMBER 24TH, ROLL ON!!!
Thanks for reading, Ant.

Order bedding plants
Order fuchsias, geraniums, marguerites and other young plug plants from mail-order suppliers. It's also a good time to order summer-flowering bulbs, such as dahlia, gladioli and eucomis.
Pruning roses
Remove any dead, diseased or damaged stems from roses this month. On bush varieties, cut stems back to an outward-facing bud, shortening them by about a third or half. Watch our video clips of rose pruning to get more tips.
Pruning shrubs
Prune away one or perhaps two flowering shoots from large mahonias each year, after flowering. This will encourage a succession of new replacement shoots to grow up from the base. Old, leggy shoots can be cut right down to ground level or you can stagger the length of stems to create a more interesting shape. The stems of dogwoods, willows, hardy fuchsias and ceratostigma should also be pruned back hard this month to encourage fresh, brightly coloured new growth. Cut down tall stems on Buddleia davidii to emerging shoots lower down the plant, shaping the shrub to
control its size.
Divide perennials
Lift and divide congested clumps of perennials or plant new ones. People gardening on light soils may have completed this task last autumn, but those of us on heavy clay soils benefit from waiting until spring when conditions are warmer and drier.
Pruning clematis
Summer-flowering clematis varieties that blossom on the current season's growth, such as Clematis 'Etoile Violette', need to have last year's growth pruned out now. Cut any tangled old stems down to a pair of new shoots near ground level as soon as possible.
Divide snowdrops
Lift and divide any congested snowdrops after flowering but while still in leaf. Carefully tease the clumps apart and replant the bulbs at the same depth they were before. Read our snowdrop plant profile to learn about these beautiful plants
Fertilising
Sprinkle general-purpose fertiliser along the base of hedges and around trees and shrubs, followed by a generous mulch of rotted compost.
Planting begonia tubers
Plant tubers now in trays of moist compost, barely covering the top. Study the tubers carefully before planting and you will notice that they are convex on one side and concave on the other. The concave side should be uppermost in the pot. Keep them in a warm, bright position, watering when the compost dries out. Pot each one up individually when shoots are 5cm to 7.5cm (2in to 3in) long.
Trim heather
Trim winter-flowering heathers with shears to remove flower-heads and to shape the plants. Take care to remove only the blooms, never cutting back into old wood.

DON'T DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You, like the rest of us, have come this far, don't thow it away now.
Even if you don't like the console after you get it, a tidy profit will come your way if you sell it befor christmas.
You won't want to sell it once you have played it, believe me.

Sorry Ant, i know nothing about them.
Good luck on getting your console as soon as is posible. I really hope you get one on or about launch day, but don't lose heart if it takes a bit longer. If anyone lived near me, and didn't get one on launch day, they would be welcome to come over and give it a go.
P.S. The only problem is, i am only getting TTT and DOA 2.
