The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The one exception to this is the DC. It's well worth buying right now with lots of great titles to chose from.
If you want to buy a PS2, DON'T...
...Not yet anyway...
Think about it, it's price will drop in half a year...
...wait a bit, it might turn out to be a flop...
... then again it might not but later models will be of a better quality...
TODAY's LESSON:
DO NOT BUY A PS2 YET!
PLAY ON YOU CURRENT CONSOLE/PC UNTIL AROUND AUGUST AND THEN MAKE YOUR DESCISION!
YOU WILL BE LIKELY TO CHOSE BETWEEN:
PS2 (will be around £200-£250)
GAMECUBE (will be around £150-£200)
BOTH ARE LIKELY TO HAVE GREAT GAMES.
WHY CHOOSE GAMECUBE:
>MORE EXCLUSIVE TITLES
>MAYBE CHEAPER
>GAMES FROM NINTENDO AND RARE
WHY CHOOSE PS2:
>MORE TITLES
>MAY HAVE FINAL FANTASY AND MGS2 EXCLUSIVELY
>PLAY'S DVD
I'm going for the colourful cube.
You might prefer a PS2.
Wait a year and then you'll know exactly what to get!

I believe we should settle this the good old fashioned way.
Unreal Tournament. Who's with me!

It's still in the Gamecube forum. I'll leave it dormant for a while untlil the game actually comes out and then we'll make this big PS2 Vs Gamecube rivallry building up to a huge fight with the old line up...

Oh, and dan_uk... good original message.
Nothing much new there, though. We all know that the launch games weren't absolutely great.
Even as a PS2 fan, I bought it more for what's coming, than what's already out.
With the greatest respect to the Japanese... they may be unhappy with the games available, but to be honest, with a few notable exceptions, the best games on PS1 came from Europe and the US. So the games to come from our software houses could/should improve their situation too. And for every unhappy punter, I bet they could have found 3 happy ones, if they'd looked hard enough.
Finally, maybe I'm being daft, but am I the only one who thinks that MSNBC may have a certain other company's forthcoming console in mind when writing/posting such stories?
I mean, you wouldn't exactly expect Sega to post an article on their web forums saying how great the PS2 is and how well Sony did with PS1... would you? :-)
Anway, to each their own. I'm happy with mine - and the games - and that's enough for me!
