Does the PS2 live up to your expectations?

I would say both yes and no. First I was very impressed with the tech demo and the yabasic. The cool design and the fact that I owned one of the most wanted piece of hardware in the world.stod in line for 13 hours to get it. Then SSX, very nice, better than I thougt it would be.
But some things was not to good. First of all the damn DVD!
No RGB for us in Europe. And the noise when playing games and DVDs. Not good at all. And the lack of next gen games isnt funny either. I know they will come, but I dont want to wait anymore.

My PS2 is broken and I\'m not having much luck getting it fixed.  I don\'t know if mine ever performed properly so take my answer w/a grain of salt, but to answer your question...NO

YES definately yes.
everything on my ps2 works fine. no complains on DVD playback and the games are excellent.

A Definite and very positive YES..

in every era.

not even close, I expected much more

From what I ve seen and playied its a YES and a big one too.Same is for every other PS2 owner in Cyprus.They are thrilled and excited.
When they talk to me about their PS2 they sound like the happiest people on earth.
I am not saying these to start a PS2 propaganda.Its the truth.But this could also be because of the smaller society in my Country.Its small.
Probably thats why they get excited with it so much.
But this excitement never existed about any other console.


These reactions could be different outside Cyprus

chata...... chata f**k up!,   what did you expect man, i  give it a gigantic thumbs up, i got everything i wanted, infact i was braging about it in school and i told them how i clean it every day, they were like, you like it that much, and i said, if you waited in line for 5 hours and paid 400 al toether for a bomb ass revolutionary gaming console, wouldnt you take very good care of it, ok i straye off, i say yes yes yes

Dammit! Who said, "Not even close" ? I was gonna use that! Damn you!

Well,my answer is NO. I think there are no real killer games for PS2. There is not one PS2 game that I have been able to play without getting extremely bored within 10-40 minutes. And yes,I\'ve played the "good" ones.SSX,DOA2, TTT,TS( ok, TS got me going for a little over an hour once) and some others.

YES thats why i am getting my own seeing that i can\'t "borrow" my friends he he .

No. Despite lowering my expectations repeatedly leading up to the launch, I was still expecting something more. Like 1 or 2 games (barely) looked better than DC games, and of the rest, half were near DC level, and half wouldve been ****ty even on DC. I expected a bit more graphics wise than I got for a system supposedly 10x as powerful. Gameplay wise I knew what I was in for...

Well im not saying that i dont like ps2 i love it , but i was expecting it to blow away the dreamcast in graphics but it just didnt.

No. Not even near it. I\'ve got 7 games for the damn thing and I never play it. That is not to say I won\'t be impressed come MARCH. By, with the current line up, I am not impressed in the least bit.

Same here, I\'ve rented just about all of the games and not many impressed at all. I stopped playing most after about 20 min.

Unknown,

 I expected alot since I\'ve only played the DC a couple of times and I\'ve been playing the ps1(not the DC,not the nintendo64). So yes, I expected a lot more out of a machine that is supposed to be so powerful.

You can\'t tell him to shut up just because you have a different opinion. :rolleyes:

Currently I am not impressed at all.

come late February/March? I\'ll be floored.
