As for you Slyde. I really dont know why, nor do I care to know why your anti Microsoft. But again, please read that last quote. If you don like Microsoft, you don like em. Say you don like em, an move on. However, dont bring your business over to us like its gods gospel. Jus state yer piece on a soap box like the rest of us an move along.
Perhaps if you read my posts, you would see where I explained it. But, I am willing to venture to say you only read bits and pieces like most people on this post. So, whatever man.
I am pretty sure the majority of you don't even know what a BSOD is.
Bad Start of Day?
I saw me some links, which I did check out.
BSOD, nope, I only know FSOD. Anywho, I plan to kick some butt in Killzone 2. Game looks sweet. :D
*Edit: BSOD= Blue Screen Of Death, very close to the FSOD; Known as the Frozen Screen Of Death. PSO Players know both quite well...*

Gears of War, Elder Scrolls, PDZ, and FFXI are about the only reasons I'll be buying a 360. The rest I can rent. With that purchase, I'll be tossing the PS2 to whomever for store credit.
Out with the old, in with the new. Long live the PS2 :\

Amen! Elder Scrolls is incredible! and well... FFXI Obviously!
Bleh, I don't even know why I try to debate. The majority of people are too shallow and only want the latest and greatest.
GL with your 360's.

You are flaming each other over a machine?
I don't see flaming going on Odin. But usually, when someone makes a comment like yours, flaming starts.
Slyde answer us this then:
A PS2 & FFXI player ends up suffering the inevitable..Their PS2 Disc drive stops working.. What are they supposed to do? Get a short term fix and wash/rinse/repeat? Buy a new system that caters to them for FFXI and opens a new genre of games for them? Quit FFXI and move one end of story? Just dish out the cash and buy a PC, or if they are fortunate enough, get quality parts and have it custom made? Of course the regular consumer is going to pay fair costs in the PC route...So what is a player supposed to do? And remove the "shallow" mentioning because that isn't factual, it's simply just your opinion.

More than happy to. :)
First off, my CDROM has not broken. But it could happen. Unless you are referring to the hard drive. Either way, that could happen on PS2, PC, or the new 360. So I am not sure what you are getting at.
You are right, if your PS2's drive break, instead of getting it replaced for little to no price, you should spend $400 on a new game system, then another $50 on another copy of FFXI. I totally see the logic in that. :)
As far as the shallow comment, that was towards the people who want the "latest and greatest" instead of educating themselves. That is all, no need to read into it for more than it is.

Ive never been a fan of Xbow, the thing is HUGE and the controller just plain blows. Halo looked cool till i played it, i got bored after 10 minutes (online) offline was about 5 min.
i <3 my Ps2 had it since release and had minor problem with the disk drive and that was solved my cleaning the lens.

Ohhh Nooo! I have to Jump to Xbox360s rescue! According to Zeik I am a "Xbox fanboy"!
I will never understand how people can have such a strong opinion about whether one enormous multi-national corporation is more or less evil than another enormous multi-national corporation, unless there is some evidence of severe and blatant breach of fiduciary duties by the board.
People rant and rave and triumph at the potential failure of M$, while cheering on $ony, which has a strong track record of ******** consumers by relying on proprietary technology in repeated attempts to strong-arm other electronics manufacturers out of the market. You would think it would make more sense to financially support the corporation that is based in your own nation and is subject to higher standards of accountability, but we attach a stigma to everything produced by Microsoft.
/rant off.

Slyde allow me to elaborate, the only problem with a PS2 HDD supportable model is the disc reading laser and tray malfunction. So while you state it could happen to a PS/PC/Xbox360, I am not going to defend the 360 but it doesn't have a disc tray that could get jammed like the PS2, so not comparable in that aspect. A PC is remedied with the purchase of a new disc drive, you have umpteen brands out there to choose from, where as a Playstation is not as fortunate. So the "logic" in buying a new gaming system in the total amount of 450.00 is much more intelligent than you give credit for considering it's an upgrade regardless of how you spin it. But to just go out and "buy a PS2" again unless it's the slim model, is just buying another horse waiting to die. This would be one thing about the PS2 if Sony said "In someof the HDD models there is a chance of the disc tray jamming" instead they said "The older, larger PS22 model has disc reading issues that cannot be repaired indefinately in a feasible manner, instead a new PS2 will be released, and it does not support the HDD unit".
And again on the whole "Slyde versus evil megacorp MS" angle, regardless of facts or not, it's just a videogame system, if the consumer chooses to let it program his/her toaster, thats their decision. I know my investment in an XBOX360 along with others will simply be due to the following:
Unknown pricing about the PS3 (Rumors of 599.99+)
XBOX will have FFXI whereas unless on a discontinued version of the PS2 or PC is the only means of playing it. The ps3 will not *ever*.
Its an upgrade for someone who's also catering to a game they love, sure XBOX might end up lacking in numerous ways in the game dept versus Sony, but it's a better solution than "Go out and buy a PC" or "Continually investing funds into a PS2 repairkit" once that model acts up. (Final one was an opinion with a sliver of fact)
