Sony made a great success with the original Playstation through an endless supply of games and some quite superb advertising.
So it is understandable that so much hype has been created for the successor. Now no one can believe what a failure the console is. First Sony sends so few supply that there is more chance of winning the National Lottery then getting one, then they send out quite a disappointing amount of games for launch day. None of the games so far have impressed as much as expected and surely the games can only get better.
And the DVD feature. The much acclaimed feature of the console has been found to be faulty and totally disappointing. Some DVDs seem to not want to work while others have poor picture quality.
What a shame Sony have messed up from the start. My advice get a Dreamcast as it has a great range of titles including the amazing Half-Life, and is much cheaper with a modem included, not like PS2 where more money on top of the expensive £299 just to get internet access. Also the Dreamcast is four player, the PS2 is two player in case you are prepared to spend even more money.
The facts speak for themselves, the PS2 is no Playstation, more of a Saturn.
I'd just like to point out:
1. I don't have a 'gang' - I didn't ask anyone to post anything insulting.
2. I didn't actually insult anyone. In fact, I was the original target of an insult, not matter how mild it may have been. However, one of my posts did imply an insult, for which I hereby apologise.
3. If sharpshooter really does have such a problem with Sony owners, he should seek psychiatric help; it's a console for crying out loud.
4. sharpy appears to be a Gooner, so he obviously isn't a bad bloke.
5. I am quite happy to forgive and forget the whole sorry episode. How about it?
I'm sure we are both big enough to handle a difference of opinion on our favourite games machine. There are far more important things going on in the world for us to worry about.
Like the bloody Arsenal giving up a 2-0 lead. :-(
PS- THE PS2 RULES!!!! SEGA AND NINTENO SUCK!!! {:)
> And SharpShooter thinks *I'm* clueless!
Why do people come here just to annoy?
How can anyone make judgements of a machine that has been out for just over a week? After a year is understandable but a week!! Come on!!
Get a Dreamcast!!
I have a Dreamcast sure its a great console, sure it has some brilliant games, its been out for over a year now you know!! yeah its getting Half Life - HALF LIFE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR PS2 BY THE WAY!! - But I spend more time playing PSOne games on my PS2 than I spend on DC (and I have Shenmue!!)
And the DVD player works fine, anyhow all I want to do is play games the DVD is just an extra bonus.
Fact: Sega made the Saturn - Sony destroyed it!!!
>then they send out quite a disappointing amount of games for launch day
Wasn't it the largest selection of titles available ever for a UK launch?
This is about as pointless as Sim1704 coming on to a PS2 forum to talk about how much he hates talking about PS2.
And SharpShooter thinks *I'm* clueless!
:-)
And they don't make much sense!
