# ?
Been having problems?

I once deleted a game with over 60 hours because I wanted to do it over, properly...

# it was the unoptional reformatting of my memory cards (both)
that got me, losing me countless hours of gaming and resulted in me not having used the playstation2 for almost 4 months now

# Underpowered bag o' shite.
X-BOX. Better. As an artist you can have double the amount of textures at a better resolution and more colours...

# and then have to spend more time programming yadda yadda
can't be bothered myself. beer is a far better outlet for my money.

# which
considering it was released a whole year after the PS2, isnt really as much of an improvement as it sounds - in PC terms, that would be 3 months development... ;-)

Funny how the X-Box and Gamecube have had numerous pricedrops, and the PS2 is still outselling them eh?

# I know.
You've no idea how disappointing that is.
Although the Gamecube is fairly lump.

# I loved the cuteness of Pikmin
but played it about 15 minutes...

Luigi was similarly "oooh, oh"

Super Monkey Ball is the only GC game I'd go back to time and again, and it's not worth getting the system for that one game.

X-Box hasn't released ONE title that makes me even wanna look at buying one.

PS2 has the games, looks good enough (even on a projection TV) and plays well enough. Sold.

# It's old, but Halo is so much better than anything else out there.
I know what you mean though. Developers always release a PS2 version over everything else as it'll sell 10x more.
But it's so frustrating to have to cut everything down to get it to fit on the damn machine!!!!!

# Halo
doesn't impress me, in looks, or concept - I don't like that kind of game.

Gotham would have sold me, if it didn't handle like a brick and if it wasn't a total rip-off of Midnight Racing on the Dreamcast (yet I'm sure I heard it was "an all new concept in racing games"...)

every xbox sold costs m$ money as they cost more to make

# true for all consoles
SNESes may have broken even, but I wouldn't bet on it - the GameBoy is probably the only system in profit right now!

They all make the most money from games, which is why they're so expensive - licencing and all that crap.

# And the amount of man-hours in each game...
....it takes sooooooooo long!

And they pay me far too much... suckers!
