[/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue][b][size=1]Yeah, when I bought Nintendo 64, it cost me AUD $499. And now it costs AUD $199. Nintendo Australia dropped the price of N64 about six months after it came out...by about a hundred bucks. But whenever I buy a console, I know I'm always spending the most money for it...but that's the bad part about getting a console when it launches, rather than waiting to get it later. I think the benefits outweigh the costs though, I usually try and get new consoles as soon as they launch.[/b][/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that if you buy a PS2 (which is still expensive, regardless of pricecut) and get only RPGs...well...you're limiting yourself a lot. :) Funnily enough...I'm not a HUGE racing fan (although I buy the odd racing game), yet my first two PS2 games are racing games. Although this is simply because PS2 has failed in delivering anything else of high quality thusfar... Although when Ico is available here, I'm going to be picking it up for sure. As well as Metal Gear Solid 2 and Final Fantasy X.[/b][/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuja Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 [SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]true and it sucks... we in the US are getting ripped off cause there are people that think the PS2 DVD player is the best out there... they bye the PS2 and say 'oh im only getting it for the DVD player' what is that... the DVD player is NOT worth $300... and i have sold a few like that... lol do yall carry the limited edition PS2/GT3 bundle pack lol?[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted October 5, 2001 Author Share Posted October 5, 2001 funnily enough, as soon as the price drop occured, all those ps2 gt3 bundle packs seem to have disappeared.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidargh Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 I feel the same way about half horror/half RPG. I mean classic straight up RPG's are like:- Final Fantasy Grandia Breath of Fire,etc......... I got my PS2 for £350.Yeah but on the bright side Sephiroth,it shows we were really keen to get one.
