I love the ps2 with its dvd, cool graphics, wicked games but it doesent stand a chance against my dell 733mhz with a geFORCE 64mb graphics card. What I am trying to say is that they are over exagerating the ps2 make it seem god like. The fact is that pc's will always be 1 step ahead.

So basically PS2 is a slight rehash of the old one.
I think we should stop this arguement. I don't enjoy argueing. Well, not anymore, anyway...

If the PC is so much better, why are playstations still around? Clearly the PC has other advantages for things like word processors etc... , but it couldn`t possibly be any better because people wouldn`t bother buying consoles. Obviously there is the price issue, but don`t forget that a £500 PC today has printers and all the other extras involved, so when it is broken up the price is not all that different, and yet the PS is so popular.
Why would Sony, and huge technology developer come up with a system that is dated in comparison to what is already around? The answer is they wouldn`t, and didn`t.

Von, you are right (again and again) but pc's nowadays don't have floating point processors only mac's have them and they classify them super computers, but the ps2 has one!
The ps2 is made for gaming where the computer is made for almost everything, it may be more powerful but at the end you are going to most likely have more fun on a ps2.

Just a slight , temporary, change of subject have you heard of the new chip that intel has made? they are going to release it in about 5 years. They say that it is 100 times more powerful than anything we have today "a molacule processor" cool, so this means that they will be shovin these beauties in gaming systems in the future and make the ps2 look more like a nintendo.

The hugely expensive PS2 is probably cheaper than your PC's processor alone and you'd have to spend £1000 + for the rest of it.
What's more, as games are designed for the Average PC (not as powerful as yours) the games aren't really using much more power and there's no doubt that within are year, any PC is likely to become in efficient, slower and slightly awkward to use.
PC's are still great worth having but by the time you've loaded up windows, installed the game, loaded the game up, sorted out any bugs/problems, you could've probably been playing for 20+ mins on an easier to use consoles.
So... PC's will always superior to consoles in Power, What you can do with them, but not as games machines.
Do you see?

I didn't read through the messages in this forum so somebody has probably said what I've just said.
Sorry if I've repeated what a several people have already said!
