I was thinking about this today (well weeks now) and reading superfami's thread and remembering about two or three similar threads I have started over the years I thought to my self "you know what bangaio, your ps2 is really cool"
It's funny really as I remember being totally non plussed when the ps2 came out and seeing them go for a grand, I was more interested in my pc, n64 and dc and it didn't do anything for me yet when I look at what I play, what games I have enjoyed over the years, nothing comes close to the ps2 at all. If I am realistic and say sure I enjoyed oot, m64, ff3, mario world, sonic, shenmue etc etc etc, nothing approaches how much fun I get out of this system. Even now I have on the go DQ8 which I just started, outrun c2c, MGS3 (I'm a late starter) and am finally starting ICO and as I unpack and box up all my old systems to play games I have been meaning to finish for years, this is the one machine I would never put away.
Strange really how something with such a rubbish start can end up being so good and I think it will never get tired. **** now I sound like some sort of US fan boy and I'm not sure why this is going up but heh, it's my thought at the moment.
(just to add my gc has been in and out of a wardrobe about 5 times this week - play it a bit pack it up play it a bit more etc etc etc. Pants!)
