Well You get Halo and soon Halo 2
but with PS2 you just get a rather rubbish
outdated system that's badly in need of a revamp.

There's no answer to that, is there?
You've probably got a bigger telly than me, too.

Don't care, I love my PS2 'cos my g/f bought it for me last x-mas, so there...

And it can't be the best selling console for nothing, can it?

I have a 32 inch cinema surround sound system
with DVD and video - pah tis but a small thing.
hahaha - it's all rental anyway except the cinema surround sound DVD which we bought
( maiden has stolen Carol Decker's beard of bees, Fri 19 Dec 2003, 15:33, archived)

I didn't need to know that.
I own my own telly, all 28inches of it, and surround sound will continue to be an overrated novelty until films start taking advantage of it (this will be a good thing)
( monster munch EAT ME!, Fri 19 Dec 2003, 15:36, archived)

Most DVDs do take advantage of Cinema Surround Sound
but size doesn't matter I keep reassuring my husband.
( maiden has stolen Carol Decker's beard of bees, Fri 19 Dec 2003, 15:40, archived)

Yes, DVD's can make use of surround sound
but the film makers have yet to come up with anything good to do with it - they usually just drop something in to a couple of scenes, rather than the whole film (so you might hear a twig snap behind you during a tense moment, but that'll be it) - where's the total imersion?

Waht is rather nice is buying a Projector and a house with a large wall
