I\'ll wait and check if it will become something in its 1st year. If it seems to be good and do well, then il buy it when its price drop.. or someone sells it.

A store by me is selling used dreamcast for 50 bucks, i almost bought one but then i relised i really dont like any games on it


Aww man, Boz!  You don\'t like the looks of PSO, any of the Capcom vs. games or ANYTHING on the Dreamcast?  Not even Soul Caliber?  And I did see some screenshots for Bleemcast.  It might be worth it to get it so I can clean up some PSOne games with it.  That PS2 "Enhancement" feature kinda disappointed me. :(

All kidding aside about my wife, I think even she would agree that the 50 bucks would be worth it for the DC given the small, but still quality, list of games for the DC.  And yeah:

a:  I exaggerate my wife\'s parsimonious attitudes

and

b:  My wife LOVES those fighting games.  She used to kick my rear end in Tekken (until Hwoarang came along) and killed just about everyone in the first "Soul" game.

  • SIT BACK AND WATCH THE PRICE RISE
  • GET MONEY and BUY PS2 or GAMECUBE STUFF.


Yeah, good one, that would probably be the only reason that I would buy one.

I\'ll prolly get an Xbox eventually. But consoles are damn expensive here... I think I\'m too cheap to buy one at launch! I also have to admit that I\'ve been looking at GBA - dang, that machine is more awesome than I thought! My family seem to think handhelds are for kids though... I might get one when I get my own place (which should be soon I hope). Anyways, the games I\'ve seen so far look very promising.

Most\'ll be ports i guess, and we know how bad ports are...but honestly if onimusha 2 is on the x-box(i said IF)  and ps2... i wouldn\'t spend 300 shmackers just for possibly "enhanced graphics" since i own a ps2...

Onto the question...

My answer is No, i would rather buy 6 ps2 games instead of an x-box their just to american for me :)

No.  I won\'t be getting an Xbox or NGC.  I agree with what Vivi said.  What is the point if I already have a PS2 which will be getting some awesome games at the same time?  I\'m not saying the Xbox won\'t be getting good games.  I\'m just saying the PS2 will be getting good games at the same time and I would rather spend money on new games than on a whole new console.  If the PS2 starts to die out, I will consider it, but as things are looking right now, I don\'t care about the NGC or Xbox.

Not a surprise.  You\'re the biggest PS2 whore on PS2Central.  You and 182 ways would get along well.

I won\'t be buying one at that priceor any price really. My favorite games are MGS and Gran Turismo and they\'re both on PS2 which I already own. I know the PS2 versions of these games aren\'t out yet (not in the US anyway) but i\'m pretty sure they won\'t dissappoint me.

I guess I would but I would rather buy it at 299. I am so bored right now I would buy a turbo graphix 16 if it had games like halo, new legends, malice, doa3 and nfl fever.

a.) I seriously doubt 4/5 PS2 game will be ported to the XBox. I\'m sure quite a few will, but 4/5 is stretching it tremndously, Maybe more like 2/5.



b.) Xbox has its strengths but the PS2 obviously will have its strengths. Xbox might have more polished graphics but it could  fall short in other departments. Graphics and a HD do not make a console more powerful in all categories, and the PS2\'s EE is still a beast not close to being tamed



On the the thread topic note:


I have an Xbox pre-ordered but I seriously doubt I will get it at Launch. I would have to sacrafice abour 10 PS2 titles just to play XBox this Nov. I\'ll just wait and grap one on a price break. I honestly barely have time to play my PS2 as much as I want.



ANOTHER thing. For those who are thinking about putting XBox\'s up on Ebay at launch. I doubt the demand for XBox at launch will come close to the PS2\'s demand last Oct - Jan. SO don\'t expect to make any sort of a killing. GC will probably be in higher demand this Xmas season

a)Your being too conservative, I was being to liberal. It\'s more likely in between, 3/5.

b)What department does XB seem to be falling short in? I can\'t name one. You sound like you\'ve been watching TechTV.
