I\'VE DECIDED TO GET A PS2!!! I\'VE BEEN CONVERTED!!!

Yes, my friends- resistance is futile, at  least for me. I tried to not be tempted by the PS2- "it\'s not what it\'s hyped up to be," I\'d tell myself. While that may be true (to some extent), the future looks very bright. I\'ve looked at some mpeg\'s of MGS2 at http://www.sonyweb.com, I\'ve looked at the GT3 screenshots, the Wipeout Fusion videos, the Bouncer screens, the Silent Hill 2 screens, the Dropship screens (sweeeeeeeeett), the Run Like Hell screens, etc......in short, titles will only be getting better and better. Besides, with graphics this good, who gives a damn about any other console. We don\'t NEED graphics better than MGS2\'s, for example- really, do we need better than CG quality? No- at least me.

Anyhow, I\'ll be looking to get one ASAP. I had to sell my DC because of having to pay for a damn foot surgery, so I\'m in the market.

Sweet  It is always pointless to "resist" a system anyway.  If you want it and you have the money then make it yours.

I never knew that you were against it. Oh well, welcome to the club.

Welcome to the club man. Please ENJOY it when you get it, and i will keep on enjoying mine.

  Congratulations. PS2\'s will be getting more fluent pretty soon so this\'ll is the prime time to get one.

Welcome too the light side.. Ps2 good.. Good leads too love.. Love = babys. Babys = hate. hate = evil, evil = death....... Argh..

j/k

hope u enjoy the system dood.

Yes, PS2 should be purchased by *every* gamer. Good thing you had this epiphany. But one thing I must say (why oh why must I be a pessimist?) MGS2 is NOT cgi quality, and anybody who cares about graphics at all would care about a better version.

You have been assimilated.The Collective speaks to you.

It\'s a bummer you sold your Dreamcast, expecially when it\'s got so much life left to it (And 15 more chapter left to be played in Shenmue). You are right though, it\'s really not about the graphics. Sure MGS2 looks fricking sweet, as does GT3 and Run like Hell... but it\'s the titles that aren\'t so stellar looking that have my attention. Red Faction, Draken(!!), Summoner, 7Blades, Oni... those are some of the games I\'m REALLY looking forward to.

Glad you made your decision

Now enjoy your Ps2 whenever you get it.

I hope soon now

-PS2 can\'t be completely worthless because it has "converted" many absolute Sony-Haters to Sony-Lovers-

Yea, I\'m very excited too. What I can\'t understand is how blown out of proportion the difficulty for programming for the system has been. People just can\'t seem to get over this.

It\'s really not that big a deal. Hey, with games already looking as sweet as MGS2, GT3, Red Faction, Bouncer, etc. it\'s already proven that with a little perseverance games can be produced that will take the market to new heights both graphics-wise, audio-wise, and gameplay-wise.

Yea, about my Dreamcast, it\'s a shame I had to sell the little dynamo. You gotta respect Sega though- they\'ve had pretty much EVERY odd gainst them when they came into these generational wars, yet they\'ve put up a hell of a fight so far and I\'ve enjoyed many a phenomenal game on the little white console. If they do go software-only, PS2 should be on their list to develop for. Can you imagine it: Loading up an enhanced version of Sonic Adventure 2, or a Shenmue chapter, etc. That would be a dream.

Anyway, can you guys give me the dates the BIG games start rolling out?

HALLELUJA... Yes Brother you´ve seen the light...
Glory, Glory !!!

Other person opened his mind... congratulations

Noooooo...

The Bouncer, GT 3... At least those I must get. Otherwise blow I might.

Thanks for the release dates, PrimalScream. They were in need for me too. Remember them I couldn\'t.
