Hats off to Sony unlike MS and Ninty they are there to make gaming affordable unlike the others who are only interested in profit.
Sony scored a big hit with the PS1 and platinum games, which were affordable quality games that had to sell a certain amount to turn platinum, while N64 was still trying to sell cartridges for £64.99 Sony's platinum range came in at £19.99 and proved a big hit.
I am glad to see they are carryiing on the tradition with there PS2 platinum range. I mean lets face it GT3 is a far superior game to Project Gotham and yet it is have the price. They say you have to pay for quality but on this evidence you don't.

You have to live in today and not yesterday, this is what the buying public do and when they see quality games like GT3 at £19.99 that is the only fact they need to know. Not how long it's been out or how much it cost when it came out.
This is why Sony will aways provide the best games at the cheapest prices, because they sell so many more titles than other formats they can afford to make a game platinum very quickly. Halo is £39.99 and GT3 is £19.99 which one is riding high in the top 10 all formats not the one made by MS that is for sure.

Grow up kiddy winks, let's leave this crap topic to the 2 annoying fanboys.
From now on NOBODY post in here, whatever the 2 children say, however much it annoys you, just ignore it and let this crap drop to the bottom.

and, like i said b4, most people still want the Sony PS2. And since it's "the" product to have, people will pay £200 for it - regardless the fact that GC is going for less.

NBA Street looks the same on the GC port as the PS2 original.

The facts are you don't get out much and see all the deals you get when buying PS2 games in places like PC world, Virgin and HMV, because there are so many titles, places like these can afford to discount PS2 software and I personally have not spent more than £30 on a PS2 game in the last 3months.
Then there are the secondhand retail stores that sell games like Smash Court Tennis for £24.99 and WRC in blockbusters for £19.99 these are the real hard facts of affordable gaming not the fantasy world you live in with your bum boy Mario.

You're an ignorant moron, and I really don't want to continue this pointless, pointless argument. It's like ShadowDragon said, it's a circle. Nintendo deliver more affordable gaming than Sony. It's a fact and anyone with an ounce of sense and mathematical ability can see it.

You're an ignorant moron, and I really don't want to continue this pointless, pointless argument. It's like ShadowDragon said, it's a circle. Nintendo deliver more affordable gaming than Sony. It's a fact and anyone with an ounce of sense and mathematical ability can see it.
You are very sad indeed, and you are only fooling yourself by refusing to look at the facts.

Yeh it's called the PC version after all that is what the Xbox is a mid ranged PC.
I suppose when you own any other console you are used to getting games that PS2 owners have been playing for a year or more, then again they have more than likely moved on to the next version GTA4.

Yeh it's called the PC version after all that is what the Xbox is a mid ranged PC.

The only reason why this thread has gone as long as it has, is because there are two fanboys (names don't need to be mentioned) who are unwilling to listen to anything anyone else has to say. They are being ignorant and just churning out anything they can to get us to fight back and prove them wrong. But proving them wrong doesn't matter because they won't listen anyway. It's a circle.
1. Something is said. For example, "All GC games are just ports"
2. It's proved wrong. For example, "Look at Smash Bros. Melee, fool"
3. Something else is said. For example, "GC hasn't got DVD so it's poo"
4. People argue... Blah blah, return to step 1. Something new is said, or something is repeated.
Someone else said a while ago that we should let this topic die along with the fanboys that keep it going. Let's do it this time!
Damn console wars and biased fanboys!

Just a quick thing, GTA3 wont be coming out for a long time on Xbox, all the GTA games are exclusive to Sony until I think about 2004.
Though you are right, it would look much better on Xbox, the graphics on PS2 are funking terrible.

How long has the PS2 been out? Two and a bit years? How long has the GameCube been out? Two and a bit months? I can't see you going very far in the big bad business world with attitude like that. It would be suicidal for Nintendo to bring new games out at £19.99. Plus, the 'Players Choice' range will be out sooner than Sony's 'Platinum' range was.

Grand Theft Auto 3 is being very specifically changed for X-Box and I can't see Rockstar being so short sighted as to can the whole project. GTA3 X-Box is going to be almost a different game.
