Damn Jurrell....that sounds awesome.....I've had GTA3 since last Christmas and I finished the missions a long time ago but I still play it at least once a week. It rocks.

 

man i was hoping for an easy answer ... guess not !!!

 

Just get them all like me,

I own the Gamecube(resident evil, Eternal darkness is amazing)

My younger bro has ps2( also good)

My other younger bro has xbox so I get all goods from all of the systems, No complaints from here

 

Get BOTH!!! We enjoy BOTH of ours...

 

GO with the ps2 it can play dvds, old ps games and has the bettter games.

 

I bought a PS2 right when they came out and payed almost 500 bucks. Right away I started having trouble playing SOME DVD's. Eventually I was unable to make it all the way through ANY DVD's. It has ruined two games that I bought (NHL 2001, NHL 2002 with scratches in the exact same place on both cd's). Now I'm at the point where I'm lucky if a game will play AT ALL. I have better luck playing games on DVD than CD but I've always got my fingers crossed when I pop a game in (please work, please work, please work).

I feel jipped, $500 for a PS2 that will play hundreds of games (including psone) with a built in DVD player is definitaly worth it. But, what I've got is a piece of crap that isn't worth anything. Now $200 for the PS2 is a great price just for the games. I'd still recommend the PS2 over anything because I'm sure that my situation is a rare one. But, if I decide to replace my gaming console I will not buy another PS2. I have contacted SCEA about this issue NUMEROUS times and never received any sort of response, which to me is bad business.



Reason to choose PS2 over XBOX or GC:
Backwards compatability.....'nuff said.





Oh.....and GTA

 

Just curious but what was your reasoning for installing Linux on your PS2? Did Sony allow it to have some interaction with the games, did you just want the HDD, or what?

 

It sounds like you have your PS2 on its side (Vertical), they said you can do that for a short time, but if you have it for a long time (movies, gta3) then the disk will heat up and bend because of gravity, or get damaged. I'd just keep it Horizontal to be on the safe side

 

man trust me on this one, get the PS2, it's so much better....more games, better graphics on most of them then any other system (yes it does!!) and it's just a nicer system overall...i know a lot of ppl that have it and have not had any problems with it....

 

I was leaning toward PS2 till I spent a weekend with 11 buddies, lots of pizza, mountain dew, 3 Trinitrons, and 3 XBox's. HALO

I didn't get it either, till I played Halo all weekend, after that, I bought an XBox.
I like the Games, and there are some sweet games coming out for it soon.

I'd get the XBox. Great racing games: Project Gotham, Rally Sport Challege.

 

I've had it laying flat inside my entertainment centre since the day I bought it. I did pull it out once and found that there was an inch of dust that had collected on the back where the fan is...not good. I just bought Matt Hoffman 2 the other day. I got home, put it in and crossed my fingers....it worked. Tried to play it two days later and it didn't work (disk read error), so I spent the next half-hour trying to get it to go with no luck. Woke up the next day, turned it on...it worked first try. NHL 2003 is coming out soon and I need to fix this problem or get a new system before that...not going to blow 80 bucks on another hockey game, only to have it ruined two months later.

 

Haven't tried that yet. Do those really work though?

 

They do but be careful what you buy. I have seen some cheap ones that would actually scratch the lens. I bet Sony makes a kit and I would use theirs before I used anyone elses. At least you can blame Sony if it messes yours up more. And they do have big wallets.
