Woohoo! Welcome to the club, FettsBabe. Don't forget to try SSX, Sky Oddessy, and your favorite sports title too!

And DVD movies are awesome in it, as are PS1 games.

Too much fun - I want to go home and play!


BTW, I too just bought some stuff - picked up Legend of Mana and Parasite Eve II (Squaresoft RPGs) for $7 each from BlockBuster - woohoo! I love their $7 previously played PS games!

Even if they stink, they are worth $20 each in trade in at my game store...

Heh...I got mine w/o preorder. Just walked into the Greensboro Software Etc. and asked if they had any. Guess I'm just lucky.

Of course, the best PS2 game is FF9. :)

Kinda like that episode of the Simpsons, "And the award for best new cable series goes to......Old Starsky and Hutches!"

Woohoo a PS2.

Good System but still the games are not as great as they can be.

Good for you!! :)

I really don't want it but wouldn't mind getting one for my nephew (he's 8). He such a good kid, I just love to spoil him!!!

I tried today at Amazon but no luck. :(

FettsBabe:
The PS2 lineup is pretty dang good, IMHO:

TTT - I seriously want this game, looks beautiful, moves like Tekken should - deep fighting gameplay. Excellent.

SSX - Amazing graphics and deep gameplay - I don't like snowboarding games, but this is really good.

Madden 2001 - the only football game to consider for the PS2

AC2 - my favorite so far. Hard as heck, deep, excellent graphics, mech customization to all get out. Awesome.

Summoner - Good looking RPG, but hard to tell from a rental. Excellent story, some grphical glitches.

Timesplitters/Unreal Tournament - both great multiplayer FPSs but both lack a bit without friends to play against.

Sky Oddessy - Difficult but fantastic flight sim!


But I also still enjoy PS1 games on my PS2 such as the new Final Fantasy IX. Bdawg is right about FFIX being awesome!

Farbio - the PS2 plays PS1 games, and some of us PS2 owners, like me, have bought it to play on our PS2 - also, the PS2 applies some basic filters to the PS1 emulation that improve graphics and load times.

The PS2 lineup is great, but FFIX is simply amazing!

Farbio, no it's just PS1, but the PS2 is backwards compatable, so I play my PS1 games in the PS2 (less floor clutter).

FFIX is the only game I've been playing in my PS2.

The difference in me and you FettsBabe, I was lucky the friday after the release, you were lucky today. :)

Still can't believe that I just walked in and bought one, no pre-order, nothin.

Man, I was up till two o'clock last night playing!!! Its awesome, I have never seen such superb graphics. Whats even more unbelievable is that the first generation games are the only ones out. Give it a year, and they will be even BETTER. Definately worth the $299. If you have the opportunity to purchase it, you better, or you will kick yourself in the arse later. I guarantee it!!!! :D

I played DOA, and it was great!

Midnight Run, is ok, buts the graphics are awesome, no popup or slow down.

Driver 2 - Put it in the PS2 and it took away all the slowdown. WOOHOO. Damn I'm happy!!!
