I bought an Amiga A1200 when they came out at around £450, a great computer that could play great games, I really should have bought a PC as I was studying Computing, but no, I chose the Amiga....well we all know what happened next. I then bought a CD32 and only 6 months later Commodore went bankrupt...everything went down the tubes A1200 and all. Next, a Playstation, what a buy, got a load of fun from the machine. Then came the Dreamcast in December 2000, the PS2 was just out and a fortune, but the DC had Shemnue...that was the seller for me. Only 6 months later and Sega discontinued the console and retired from making systems...what a bummer. It was a great system with amazing graphics...Shemnue and DOA2 looked immense for 2000 So I just stuck with the DC and starting buying games when they were cheap (£5-£10) and amassed a 50+ title collection. I skipped the GC, PS2 and Xbox. Then I heard about the PSP and I was determined not to pick up a system that would die only 6 months later. The DS looked cool and was much cheaper, but the PSP was a PS2 in my hand. Well I got one in December 2005 and still have it and love it. Although the DS has rushed ahead and gets loads more games, I still feel that the PSP will serve me well over the next 3-4 years. Now, what next, the 360, Wii and PS3 are out. I like the look of all three but I will not be deciding on my console for a while yet. This time, I also want to get it right. I've not had much luck with my choice of console and although I want a PS3, I will not pay anywhere near the money they are asking for and not until there is a great selection of games available. Have any of you guys had a similar experience? |
My God Man go get a PS2... I had a Dreamcast too and had a ton of games (thanxs to the lack of anti-piracy tech in the DC) I too loved shenmue.
You might be the first person I ever heard of who bought a PSP and did not have a PS2. Hell get a PS2, with God of War,Shadow of the colossus,Final Fantasy X,X-men Legends games, Marvel ultimate alliance,Metal gear games,ect. man and wait for the PS3 to drop.
Damn with all the games you missed on PS2 you could skip this gen altogether. There has never been a console as diversly supported as the PS2 there is something for everyone...And we wonder why it still outsells everyone... Trust me when i tell you it will be the best 129 dollars you ever spend
