    But you do know that Sony sells with hype, and they also get extra money from releasing needed hardware accesories that could have been provided within the Console bundle in the first place, then charging ridiculous amounts for it in stores, i.e the PS2 stand. They built the console specifically to stand on its side yet thy don't provide you with the neccesary equipment to do so without spending an extra �20 to buy a stand, which is �20 that you normally would have splashed out on a game added to the rest of your money.

    As for the stand thing: the PS2 doesn't work properly when stood on it's side... It looks cool, but is much less reliable than when it sits flat. Therefore, Sony shouldn't be selling that stand at all.

    PS2. Why is it the best console? Because it lasted the longest without being killed off by some superior console, dig?

    nothing right now lol its not even out yet. neither is the revolution yet some people already claim it'll be the best just cuz u can play old roms on it. backwards compatability i think. which isn't something so huge. i mean, nintendo had been around far longer than sony has in the gaming business but even sony can easily counter nintendo's backwards thing with their roms since the ps3 will play ps1 and ps2 games for FREE.

    Except the fact that you have to BUY the PS1 or PS2 games...while the Rev should have (no guarantees on anything) free 1st party games anyway. Even so, itll be cheaper then a ps1 or 2 game.

    I stick by my choice of the Neo Geo as the best.

    you don't have to buy anything if you already have them or until the day comes when the ps3 will run copied games. even then, ps1 games are dirty cheap and so are most of the good ps2 games. and wasn't it already stated that the roms for the revo will indeed cost money for download? a while ago? either way money will have to be spent on buying older games for both systems, which is why i'm kinda not even considering the ps3 or the revo as best of all time since both will play the old games.
