The state of the UK PS2 Scene
« on: February 21, 2001, 03:03:14 PM »
Well what can i say, its piss poor, there are very few games available, and those that are available are mainly crap. For example Disneys dinasaur!, what are you doing to us sony. Have you forgotten about us?.

Im in the right mind to get one of these new modchips so i can play some halfway decent games this century on my system I paid £300 for.

Ive heard that gta 3 is getting a simultanious eu/jap launch, hmm how long will that last, i bet we\'ll end up getting it months after them.

March will be the PS2\'s renaissance !  That\'s when DC will start to really feel the heat.

Errrrr calm down mate, you know some people don\'t have a PS2, espeualy in the UK so just count yourself lucky you got one.

Give it a few more months and you won\'t have enough money to buy all the games you want

Totally agree with you m8. We pay MORE for consoles and games and for what ? Later release dates and dodgee slower PAL conversations (when 60Hhz PAL can be used as an additional option).

Not just sony but the whole games industry in the UK should get its act together.

another thing that puzzlez me is that pc games have little or no delay at all between us and uk release, so why do consoles need it

Very Surprising that the Australian Ps2 situation is much better than the American and European regions.

We are a much smaller region and almost everyone here got or can still get units.

Then again, it was probably so they could wipe out dreamcast back in that time frame before segas announcement.
