I just bought a PS2. See you all in July.

Update: Forgot to buy a memory card. Arse. That means I can't save anything...

dont tempt me...

Eeek...

I am wondering whether to get an X-box or a Ps2...

I liked the X-box, but there are so many cool games on the PS2.

Did you evaluate both? Or just knew you were going with the PS2??

Haha... Okay... Fair enough with the no Microsoft stuff...

The Gamecube doesnt do it for me either... my sister has a succession of Nintendo's that havent been any good since the original nintendo... Or maybe the Super Famicom with Disk Doctor.

Hummm

Oh well

Still deciding then... Xbox Live does sorely tempt.

X-box good points: Microsoft lose money on every one sold. It's hackable to run Linux and various other things.

PS2 good points: it has, and will continue to have, far more games.

The solution? Play with someone else's...

LOL - You can run Linux on a Ps2 aswell...

God knows why you would want to.

Well - Still not decided anywayz, could be a PS2...

If it wasnt for the fact that to get a decent "starter pack" it will cost about 300 beer tokens.

And then there is the games I wanna get too :-)

hehehe

Quite for Linux boxes... after all, if its an P3-733 in it, I have faster in my PC.

As to the cheaper - yeah - you can get an x-box with 4 games for 200 less staff discount.

But that is a surprise with the memory cards - I take it there just is Sony only - no one tried to make em??

I do like the built in HD with the x-box too...

Makes loading times ALOT quicker on repeat plays, and just silly amounts of normal HD space.

However it is quite clicky and the machine as a whole is quite loud n big.

I dunno...

Been going through the games, there is a greater %age of x-box games I want...

However, there is a greater number of games on the PS2.
In particular driving games... Humm... And Grand Theft Auto Vice City (but I could get that for the PC).

Argh.

hehe.

heh...

Yeah - played GTA3 on the PC - And love it.

Humm...

Heh...

I am wavering...

Must just do some research to see if Sony has any equivalent to X-box Live going on...

But I think the sony might have it...

Hee hee, bought Naomi a Game Cube for Xmas, we are all playing Eternal Darkness and going insane trying to kill the giant spider in the basement! Have already resorted to walkthrough which advises us to kill it. Very droll.

I play Rayman. Does that mean I'm French, slightly surreal and have helicopter ears?
