« on: July 08, 2001, 01:05:41 PM »
I am a big nintendo fan and will buy a gamecube for sure. But november seems like a long time away so latley I\'ve been looking into buying a ps2. Should I? Is there going to be a price drop soon? Was anyone dissapointed with theirs?

Yes (get it).

Possibly a price cut (but not until gamecube comes out).

No (no regrets).

I say, if you got the cash, throw a bash.

(I\'ll take the cheese, please)

Go for it, but only if you want to spend around $400 to $500, then go out and buy a gamecube.

Definatle I think that you should buy one.(ps2 that is)
No I have not had any problems with it and I love it. i have no regrets buyying it at all. Just be sure that you have enough $$ so ypu can buy all the little knick knacks that you will need as well as the system.(extra controler,memory card, Maybe a dvd remote if you plan to use it as a DVD player as well.)

Q)Should I?
A) If you got $300 and can\'t wait

Q)Is there going to be a price drop soon?
A) There was a price drop for the PS2 in Japan. I would expect there to be a price drop on the PS2 until October or November.

Q)Was anyone dissapointed with theirs?
A) Well kinda...the first ps2 i bought was not a good one. but sony sent me out a new one and haven\'t had any problems since..i\'ve been enjoying my 13 ps2 games ;)

some of the greatest games are coming out for the ps2 this month, Gran Turismo 3 is the best racing/driving sim game ever made, the graphics are unbelieveable, exc...

this would be the best time to buy a ps2. if you are a teenager, this is a great syspem for you, red faction, SSX, NBA Street, Twisted Metal Black, Tekken Tag Tournament, are all games that are a ton of fun, and IMO are AAA games.

the ps2 has many ups, and if you dont have a dvd player, it works great.  right now, ps2 is the system to have.

if your anything like me, i cant stand the wait. and im lucky, cuz my favorite games are coming out on ps2

NO, do not!!!!

Don\'t buy a PS2 now.  If you are going to buy one, wait until the price drop, and some better games.  Slim pickins right now.

NGC is less than 5 months away.  Space World is in August, and all the games scheduled for the next year will be shown.  If you really need a fix for some good games.  I highly recommend a Dreamcast.  Only 99$(79$ if you look around) and some really great games IMO.

Just keep saying to yourself, "Starfox Adventures, Resident Evil 0, Smash Bros. Melee, Mario, Wave Race, Metroid..."

I wouldn\'t call it a hatred...

Anyway, I\'m just trying to get through to him to just save the money and buy more games with Gamecube.  It\'s LESS than 5 months away.  That\'s like 18 weeks.  You can wait.  

Besides, games like FFX, Jak and Daxter, WipEout Fusion, ICO, Crash, MGS2, and others don\'t come around until this fall anyway.  

In the meantime, why don\'t you take up another hobby.

You should if it won\'t negatively affect your saving for GC. If buying it will make you have less to spend on Nov.5, don\'t do it. If however you can buy both w/o a problem, there\'s absolutely no reason not to. There are plenty of games worth $50 Ginko... Onimusha, Shadows of Destiny, TM: B, SSX, RRV, TTT, Escape From Monkey Island, etc...
