"Preparation for the big day"

I've noticed over the last few days/weeks, as the The Day approaches, that my expectations of the new machine have been getting higher and higher. I feared that I may end up being disappointed when it finally comes. To ensure my hat is well and truly blown off my head on the 24th (if I get one then. The PS2, that is, not a hat), I have decided to spend the next 9-ish days observing several rules.

1/ Do not look at any PS2 magazines.
2/ Do not study any PS2 screenshots.
3/ Play only PS games, preferably ones with not-so-perfect graphics.
4/ Do not read any reviews of PS2 games, that leave you so desperate for the game it's hard to concentrate on trivial issues such as work, girlfriend etc.
5/ Breath in, breath out. Breath in, breath out.

Of course, I should boycott this message board during this time, but it's been so entertaining over the last few weeks, I need to know how the rest of you are coping. If you all could tone down your excitement, and try not to mention how mind-blowingly fantastic it's going to be whilst I'm on the board, I'd much appreciate it......

:o)

Cheers

I am just doing my best NOT to think about it!

Not easy, as I have a mate at work who asks me *every* day, "How long now?"

Although i know what the PS2 can do and have seen it on t.v, i am gonna try and not get really high expectations, no matter how high u'r expectations r the PS2 will b higher, but the lower u'r expectations the more happy u'r b on launch day. what really sucks though is my PSX has broke aaand sumwhere round the corner apparently has a japanese one, even though there more trouble then there worth, with all the changes to the machine for the pal one, and the language barrier, but i dont care i still wanna play it!

SORRY!!!
