anyone gettin SSX it's supposed to b fantastic, here a little quote i wont copy it all it will take to long.
You already know what we think of SSX, Electronic Arts' massive arcade snowboarding game - it's the best thing on PlayStation 2 so far. Those with a more serious interest in snowboarding, though, are advised to give this Konami effort a look - it's a dead-on realistic simulation of the sport, with real boards, real pro riders, and courses modeled after those used for competition in the winter X games. The control is solid, the tricks are many and varied, and the quieter environments still show off some refined detail. The create-a-boarder mode, meanwhile, is a riot, with bizarre presentation and a complex series of challenges to gradually work your way through. This isn't the flashiest of games, but it's very well-made nonetheless.

SORRY THAT WAS THE WRONG QUOTE, THAT WAS FOR X-GAMES ESPN SNOWBOARDING THIS IS THE SSX ONE
Our most highly rated game and the most original in the PS2 launch surprisingly comes from Electronic Arts, the founders of the videogame franchise. SSX is a snowboarder cross game with six contestants who vie for first place by using their speed, tricks, and a little foul play to take it all. What's so great about SSX is that it's -- bar none -- the best snowboarding game on any system. Boasting a killer sound system that reacts to your jumps, and presenting gamers with creative, innovative courses with multiple paths and levels, SSX is a must-have PS2 title, period.

I have had this game on order for a while now. This is one of the first must have titles for the PS2. It has been getting brilliant reviews from America and the latest PSM2 Magazine has rated it 94%.
It looks like being one amazing game, and should be a lot of fun. From what I have read about it I think everyone getting a PS2 should own this.

Yep, definatelt going for SSX.
I had just ordered 'Fantavision' until i read the PSM2 review. They really rate it and I have read a few reports saying SSX is the only launch title that shows what this machine can do...
As for Fantavision - Pretty fireworks meets bust-a-move. How cool is that ? I cannot wait.
Incidently, I have not had my blue book , just a letter a couple of weeks ago on Sony paper saying 'You are in the queue - more news as we get it'.
Fingers crossed.
