WHO CARES ABOUT THE PS2!!!

[KDOG]

Gawsh!!! I'm so sick of hearing about it!! Its not as good as a PC and people are killin' themselves to get it!!! Bleh!!!

 

[Napalm381]

I thought I was the only one who felt this way

 

[Czar]

I dont care, the only reason I´d buy it is just to get a cheap DVD player, that is if the PS2 can play dvd's. Shows my interest in the PS2.

And I thought that all this talk was about people paying huge sums of money for obsolete IBM computers.

It'd be 300 bucks for a DVD player that doesn't have a remote, component video out (I don't think) and a lot of other features that a 200 dollar DVD player does come with. Bleh.

<< It'd be 300 bucks for a DVD player that doesn't have a remote, >>


It has a remote. It's extra though.


Anyways, I really just don't care. Its just a console!!! Oh yea, I know the remote goes extra cause I saw it for sale @ buy.com.

 

[beat mania]

It HAS component out, and it is a progressive scan dvd player. And it has optical out. You don't get that with the crappy 150 dvd players.

My only interest in a PS2 is how quickly I can make a BUCK turning one around to some sap.

 

[A5]

Who told you it was progressive scan? They must a serious dumbass.

 

[Napalm381]

I'm looking around the Sony site for tech specs, to little avail. On the other hand, I did find some mediocre looking remotes for 20 bucks list. I stand corrected, the last time I took a look at it (March), I saw no mention of the remotes.

 

[Total Refected Power]

I doubt it is progressive scan. If it was you would need a TV capable of handling it.

Third party peripheral makers have made remotes for the Playstation 2. There are no offical Sony remotes that you can buy.

I don't like much of the launch games, so I won't be getting it for a while.

I am getting sick of hearing about the PS2. I saw it at the GDC and there was nothing about it to make me want to pay more than $300 for it. There are only about 3 good games out for it. I can wait until after Christmas. If it was the X-Box, then maybe I could justify spending $400-$500 but barely. Actually, no. I still cant justify it.

 

[MooCow]

I'd just like to know what's with it being tray load? Why not just use a trayless design, especially since it's on it's side. Oh well, I still think 300 bucks is way too much for it, but I guess there were hundreds of lemmings waiting to throw down their money for it this morning.....

 

[IBhacknU]

could you use a universal 'learning' remote with it? I imagine you could.

 

[Napalm381]

500 bucks is cheap for second-hand sales, Red. Head on over to E-bay, they are going for 6-800 easy.

 

[piku]

IBhacknU - no. it doesnt have a infra(sp?)-red reciever.

 

[urbantechie]

They were selling them on egay for more than 1K.

 

[Mday]

i don't care...

it's great and everything, i am not knocking the technology. the emotion engine is good.

it's nothing to go nuts about.

now ibm's power4, that's =)

I think it's the biggest breakthrough of overpriced console underperformance on the market. I just wanna hook up my dv cam into the firewire and find a use for it, after I plug in my microsoft usb mouse.

The only thing that is funnier than the black market prices is the chumps that got up at 4 in the morning to stand in line at target, best buy, etc... to buy one....
