As the title .......... nearly bough one today - but thinking it over, overnight

Any better deals out there? What are the best games??

Pete

Oi Pete, they dont do cribbage or dominos on ps2, dont waste your farthings mate!!

BB

*Sonic*

Yep

For 130 quid I can have my wheels refurbed in gold, thats got to be better than a playstation

Fatman

I doubt there are better deals, it's a very recent price reduction (story).

pslewis

Also, there is a silver one now ......... I can't find out what it does different?? Improved DVD operation and NO firewire connector.

What do you reckon? its £10 more? would it be better to buy a stand alone DVD and just treat the PS2 as a games console??

Pete

Fatman

I'm thinking of getting one for two reasons alone: driving games and DVD playback.

Amazon sell a region-free package that looks quite good. Go to Amazon and search for "DVD Region X"; costs a tenner and for £19 they'll sell it with a remote control unit, too.

So, what decent driving games are there? Gran Tourismo 3 springs to mind. Any Touring Car games currently?

Fatman

Forgot to ask; what's the Firewire connector for anyway? I know the format can be used to connect hard-drives, camcorders etc with PCs and Macs, but what is there in the PS2 context?

Luke

Had a PS2 to use as a DVD only...Krap...makes tooooooooooo much noise.

pslewis

No idea about the firewire connector??

Best Driving Game? I would guess Colin McCrea 4!!

Game have offered me PS2 + F1 2003 + Hulk for £140 THEN I can have a free platinum game (Medal of Honour, maybe?) a Memorycard for £15 and money off the second-hand games I want ... if bought at the same time!

Pete

Fatman

Sounds perfect. I might even head out to Game tomorrow myself! Bugger... you just cost me £140, Pete

Hopefully there's a decent driving game (McRae?) in the Platinum range.

Firewire is used for System link games.

WRX Wannabe

If you aint in no rush wait until the Xmas sales

Fatman

What are system link games? I'm guessing it's some form or peering/networking...?

£100 K Pa and he doesnt have a DVD player, titter

i get it for £108 (ps2+2controllers+2games) in Jersey

mrklaw

all the new ones have better dvd playback, quieter fans, will play DVD+/-RW, have the IR receiver built in for DVD playback (just need remote or all-in-one), and have the firewire removed. the firewire was only ever for link up games (not much used it).

So even the £140 ones are like this, but make sure the guy at game or wherever confirms its a new model.

mrklaw

oh, and Gamecube will be £79.99 next Friday

You muppets will ALWAYS have your money taken off you - coz you don't look after the pennies!!

If you're rich you should not think before spending all your money then?, using your deformed logic ............. what would that make me??? Oh, yes, a pathetic, poor, mindless moron - and I don't want to be like YOU!

Pete,

You need a Game Cube at your time of life. The games load much faster than the PS2 (which you can go away from to make a cup of tea while you’re waiting ), this means that you won't waste your precious time that you have left..

The graphics are better on the CG too.

I've just bought an X Box (£120 - no game), and it's excellent! CMR4 was £28. Gamestation have loads of games 2nd hand too (for the PS2 as well).

Cheers!
