Where did you get to play the PS2? What did you get to play for 5 mins at a
convention or something? I hardly think you can honestly rate a whole system
from that experience or from playing an import which is not exactly like the
US vers. The fact that this is so new and there isn't a very impressive
library of software for it yet really means that no one is in a position to
declare the PS2 a bust yet. What are your actual quams with the PS2 anyway,
besides  boooooo. I think you are just some lame dreamcast fan boys who have
nothing better to do than bash Sony. Sega sux. The PS has more proc power,
way better controls, and will very soon have more games than sega has
subscribers to SegaNet or whatever that is called...what a joke it is. So
why don't you just sit back and laugh at us as we try in vain to find a PS2
on the shelves becuase they are so damn awesome. Sega couldn't even give
away the dreamcast. Remember, they tried, you could get a $200 rebate on a
$200 DC if you signed up with their network AND STILL they can't move the
units. Sony won't be able to meet the damand for the PS2 for months......
