This is complete bull shit.  Sony has been working with programmers, in person,
to work through bugs.  Read the article put out in the new Electronic Gaming
Monthy mag on the PS2 release.  They address all the "so-called" problems and
screw over all the things you have said.  EGM is a non-partial magazine,
covering all platforms, and reports things as unbiased as possible.  And these
are people that know their shit.  Everyone complaining about the PS2 having
only 4megs of VRAM; who needs more when you've got a bandwidth of 3.2 Gigs/sec
running through it.  Now I'm not saying that everything else is shit.  I've
seen the stuff on the Gamecube and it looks to be a great system (although it
looks like they got a 5 year old kid to design it).  Dreamcast is a good system
too, esp. for the price.  But at the same time, the PS2 is a great system and
will continue to be one after its release on Thursday.  Plus, it's gonna have
the Final Fantasy series, and that's all I need to say.
