Oh yes. How convenient.

The two of you love to assume things, don't you? Never gave the Dreamcast a chance, did I? Fact is, I was very excited when it first came out. The graphics looked like nothing I'd seen before. It looked great. I even started a little fund to get one.
Then I realised there weren't the games to warrant a purchase, and so I saved my money and bought some N64 and PSX games instead. Money better spent in my opinion.

Riiiiiight. I was pointing out that Pro Evo 3 is on PS2, and it's Pro Evo 2 on GameCube. In Japan.

Right, so that little list was outdone by PS2 games? No I didn't think so either. And it would take most people a few weeks to go through 20+ games anyway.

Well I was never much of a football game fan, so I don't care.

As I said, they were the ones that came to mind straight away. And yes, there was Rez.

Well personally, I thought the pinnacle of the series was Tony Hawk's 4 for going back the style of Tony Hawk's 2. I hated the third, the fourth's new ideas and design made it a lot better than number two.
I'm sure that if you gave it a chance...

Ah, but in my opinion, they're not as great as you say. Sure, there's a few decent ones, but I'm glad I've got a PS2 in my room rather than a Dreamcast.

Pah. You did before.
Doesnt seem long ago when I sold my PS2 for £400 on ebay. You got lots of people reserving ps2 in the shops, already selling a ps2 on ebay that they didnt even own and then buying it with the money from the auction winner, keeping a nice big profit for themselves then passing it on to the winner (not before opening it up and playing with it for a few hours). I expect it'll happen again for the ps3.
