Hey now, there are better reasons to own a PS2 :D Suikoden 3 and Disgaea are 2 of the greatest games I've ever played.

gt4 is gonna make me buy a ps2 for school since i can't take the one from home. gt3 was awesome too i love them all

edit: and ff10 was really good too, i guess you agree too kpxgq since you got yuna as an avatar ;)

ff11 doesn't appeal to me because of the monthly cost....ff-x2 looks kidna weird but ill get it anyway and will prolly definitely like it

there are too many good games to list, madden, fifa, metal gear solid 2, gta3, etc. I wub my ps2 :D

I wish it would. Anyway ebworld.com has a good deal i think
$200 for a ps2 and network adapter, a ps2 alone is $180 on the site and the network adapter is $40, so you save 20 which is pretty good.

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/ads/shops...s2/default.asp

check it out, o it comes with atv offroad fury 2 if that matters to you

Omg, buy an Xbox. Halo 2 is reason enough to get it just for that, and I guess its practically a PC, so, no Console vs. PC sentiments there :D

YES! YEAH! W00T!

And even better, they got old fashioned American Muscle in there (IIRC, I saw a GT500, Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am and a (duh duh DUMMM) Corvette Stingray! YES!). I hate Rice Rockets :mad:

I'm in the same boat as you. I want to build me a 1969 Corvette Stingray w/ a 427. :D

Am I the only one that says meh?

It looks like a carbon copy of about 5 other racing games out now.

It may LOOK like it, but how many racers out there let you mess around with nearly every single aspect of your Car, not to mention all the different leauges, the boatload of cars in it (about 190 in GT3), the insane physics behind it, and of course, the absolutely GORGEOUS visuals (considering how this was a first release game for the PS2, it's just mindblowing as to how purty it is). Already after playing it for about 3 months straight, I'm not even 20% done with it. It's just so DEEP of a game.

Dude... nearly all 60's Stingrays HAVE a 427 Engine in them :p Hell, even the newest Corvettes have the relatively old Z06 engines (which have been around since the 70's(?)... I believe)

actually I just picked up a ps2 from a friend...when he gets here in the next 1-2 months then I'll have it...bought it for $275...comes with 4 games (Simpsons road rage, Resident Evil, Max Payne, The Getaway) 2 controllers and 2 memory cards and of course the system itself along with all the cables...it was against my religion to buy a console but after seeing how my 2 other brothers has a ps2 and madden 2004 and play against each other...along with another brother who may get a ps2 + madden 2004...it'd be cool to get a 4 way tourney going...sorry for the ot stuff but I could care less about racing sims...they just bore me way too much...unless it's something like twisted metal and you get to shoot + detroy stuff...

PS 2 = *drool*

It needs to come down to about 129 or lower and I would be all over that like me on a buffet.

Just because pre-catalyst cars were AVAILABLE with insanely powerful engines doesn't mean they sold in huge numbers. Big-block 'Vettes aren't too common (although they're more common now, since they were more worth saving). The Corvette Z06 is the one and only home of the LS6 (a reworked version of the LS1, GM's Gen-III small-block V8).

edit: oops, forgot the point of my LS1 comment. The LS1 debuted with the 4.5-gen F-bodies and GM's GMT800 full size trucks in the late 90's. The LS6 was introduced in 2001 with the C5 Z06. end edit.

Besides, no chevy V8 can hold a candle to the elephant. mopar muscle, baby. :D

More on-topic...I may be an xbox fanboy, but with the GTA franchise headed to the dark side on 04 November, the PS2 really is dead. Halo is the best shooter ever ('cept maybe Wolf3D ;) ) and a true killer app. PS2's graphics are pathetic and the xbox hard drive is great.

Most importantly: video games are at their peak when played with/against real people, and xbox is years ahead of the competition in that respect.
