Sony confirms release date for FFXI and HDD

27 million PS2 owners won\'t make a difference, each one is a single consumer, most of who will think this a bit steep. Apart from die hard gamers but how many of those are there? My guess is not enough to make it all financially viable.

It\'s been proved time and time again that stuff like this fails, why will this one work. All I\'ve seen for the past 6 months is people hanging up their PS2s and getting xBoxes instead.

people said noone would buy the PS2 network adaqptor

where were you on that one?

PS2 outsell xbox\'s everyday, and the divide is widening

people who get Xbox\'s are stupid (or are dirty rich bastards). don\'t they realise that the best Xbox only titles come out on PC anyway?

but I have to say, I will not buy into this Sony gimmik either.

Rich Bastards? To buy an xBox means a £20 saving over a PS2.

And I don\'t want a PC, they\'re a pain in the arse.

I\'ve forgotten both though since re-discovering retro-gaming joy!

retro gaming died last year

sorry noone told you

Retro gaming will never die totally, I\'ve always been a step behind with things anyway. Doesn\'t bother me though.

I was interested in FFXI, but it\'s just been pushed back too much.  Didn\'t they say at E3 that it would get a Jan. release?  Now we\'re looking at March?  Not worth the wait anymore, the delays killed it for me.  I\'ll (hopefully) be in the World of Warcraft beta then.
