Hi, I'm a newbie to the Scoop. I bought a PlayStation about five months ago, and have the utmost trust in Sony. I think that the PlayStation2 is going to be just like the Dreamcast. I'm probably not going to buy one anyway, so my trust in Sony won't be affected. You can also pay for the shareware and get a registration code for the full version there.
Consoles are inferior in general, and economically unsound investments.
Not only that, but the games are often much more intellectually stimulating. I want to see more games that actually require people to use their brain cells. But I'm beginning to see why the American-made PC class of games is still so popular. They are pure entertainment, and not just a lot of flashy lights and Japanese shouting. Also, I'm tired of using controllers that feel like they were constructed for some kid.
