why bother to wait 1.5 years for a machine that will have overpriced software and a fan base of 5 year olds (the software will reflect this).nintendo will never be able to shake of its TOY image. trust nintendo to come up with a non conformist software platform thus pushing up production cost.....again. i saw a GC demo on sattelite TV and the reveiwers wernt that impressed. go on buy a PS2 its here its now and it rocks. its sleek in design and looks in no way like a toy.

I think Humpo you have lost. Oh and I have to agree. That 'Third Place' advert, does not make me want to rush out and buy an overpricrd plastic box. Quite the opposite. What is with the duck and that bloke in plaster? One word: Lame!

I think, Humpo, that Dan was proving a point.

I base my decision on the slow memory, and the difficulty of programming.

Read my Topic in the PS2 forum Humpo.
You've got a lot to learn kid.

You're judging the PS2 by the PSOnes great reputation, the same way many judged the Saturn by the Mega Drives great reputation...

You are overestimating, like many, the power of the PS2 humpo.

The PS2, I am quite convinced, will fail. Not even being cool will save it now.

1.5 years? Overpriced games? Where the hell did you get this cr@p?

The Gamecube itself is officially at the moment priced at £150 and the DVD Gamecube at £250 Both of them cheaper than the Playstation 2! The new disk format is bringing the price of games down! The only reason N64 games were expensive was because they were still on carts.

The official date so far for the Gamecubes UK release is Christmas 2001! That's just over a year!
At least Nintendo haven't done any "third World" sorry "Third place" adverts with a duck and some mutilated bloke!
