"Where sony wen't wrong and my advice"

I myelf are going to get a ps2, simply because I can't wait 1 more year. The three new next-gen consoles will all be roughly the same, but they will be better in different ways. BUT, the X-box and G-cube have a WHOLE YEAR to be improved. The gamecube has already got some big advantages. It's extremely unlikely, but I might even get a Gamecube as well. Another thing is that Sony have tryed to get people buying by adding loads of extras. The X-box also looks amazing but it's done what Sony failed to do, and keep it a lot more secret. Sony have spent a lot more money on the ps2 than Microsoft or Nintendo have spent on there consoles, yet I feel the other two will be faster. I have been more on Sonys side because they managed to keep the first playstation good for 5 years. It doesn't look likely but I hope they can do the same with the ps2. By not keeping there console secret the other companies have already made there consoles better, I read in a mag that the G-cube is set to be 3 times more powerfull than the ps2. SEGA are even trying to make a comeback, in my mag it says SEGA are bringing out a black Dreamcast! If you want my advice then heres your choices:

If you can't wait, like me, buy a ps2. But if you can, buy a Dreamcast then wait and see how the G-cube and X-box end up. And don't worry, I found out MGS2 is coming out on all three consoles.

I didnt notice that at all, well done for observation!! That makes more sense now.

Probably not yours, as it was posted at the same time as his. He wouldn't have had time to read yours and then post a reply. That Shexyboy message was stupid.

What message??

It must just be my my computer.

That last message was just silly.
By the way, I've found out how to make topics (without the shortcut button thing). Try that topic I made about it.

I think getting a PS2 will be a wise choice. I have one on order and also happen to own a Dreamcast, which itself is a great console and has some amazing games such as MSR, Soul Calibur, Res Evil Code Veronica, Virtua Tennis with some equally amazing games coming up: Shenmue, Quake III, Half Life, Phantasy Star Online, UFC.

But I cant help but think that the PS2 will be the benchmark for future consoles to follow. The launch titles are not exactly ground breaking, but really the PS2's dominance has yet begun. Some of the future titles are Wowing us at the moment (MGS2, Getaway, ZOE) but come three or four years we will look back at them and think how dated they look. Once developers get use to what PS2 can do that will be when we see the real face of gaming in the future.

If you are lucky enough to get a Playstation 2 this year, good luck to you!! Youve made a wise choice as we have yet to see what it can 'really' do, but hence it shouldnt be too far away.

The Dreamcast is a class console and offers the cheaper alternative. We have seen what the console can do (Shenmue, MSR, Virtua Tennis) and I am sure that there will be plenty more DC games released that will get a whole load better. Also Im hoping it will really take off once the online gaming is seriously underway, as it deserves to be noticed more.

The Game Cube and X-Box once they are released, which as you mentioned is well over a year away will probably improve considerably. But with the PS2 and DC being firmly established maybe even cheaper, Nintendo and Microsoft will have their work cut out to try and lure gamers to their macines. But in saying that Nintendo is bound to succeed as they still know how to make the best games, and Microsoft will have advantage buying their way to success.

All 2nd Generation games consoles are blatant rip-of's of PS 1 (not the new fancy pancy white "ONE"), they are all using cds...

Just kiddin, the PS2 is not worth the hype though. Graphics are amazing (for a poor 2nd World citizen like me) , but so does the Dreamcast. If Sega can but up a cristmas fight against Sony , SEGA will survive.

The Dreamcast was THE 2nd generation console last year, at the time it was worth the hype. The grapical power to a console was amazing, the games to come out in the first couple of months were bru-tally amazing, and it was also the first console to go online.

TOPNOTCH

The PS2 graphics and all other stats (see sad lonely person coping up stats to impress other sad lonely people) are almost identical to the DC, maaaaaaaiby a bit better. Sure it has got DVD (ooooooohhhhhhhhh) but so does the DC. OH yeah, its backwards-compatible, ssssooooo. Just get a regular PS.

The Gcube is a cube (why Nintendo, why??) , what a cuul desing??ha ha. You would not catch a MATCHO MAN playing with a CUBE, luckly I'm a short geek who like to comb his hair...
I havent sen many stats, but I do know that N is using smaller cds then the AVERAGE games console. Its about the size of your palm (the cd, ^ig). And you can use the Advance (or something similar to that name) as a controller.

As a final goody to bother reading this I give you 3 wishes, (ESLAF) 1...
