Guest bws Posted September 20, 2003 Well.. the only reason i loke consoles is cause they are cheap an dhave good games Share this post Link to post
Sonic 295 Posted September 20, 2003 The console themselves are afforfable but the price of a new release game for a PS2 or XBox is a total rip-off Here in New Zealand a new release PS2 or XBox game costs $129.95, while the cost of a new release PC game is much cheaper at $89.95.

Sonic 295 Posted September 21, 2003 So I guess Sony NZ and Microsoft NZ are just ripping us off then. Its the prices of the games that stopped me buying a PS2. I must admit that I've been thinking about buying an Xbox though...I watch the Halo 2 trailer Again the prices of the games annoy me. Share this post Link to post
Guest dax Posted September 21, 2003 30 quid or 35 quid for pc games. 45 quid for PS2, GC and XBOX games. Platinum are 20 quid on ps2 Share this post Link to post

Sonic 295 Posted September 22, 2003 I'd rather play a game optimised for a PC. How do you play a PS2 game on a PC without an emulator? Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted September 22, 2003 How do you play a PS2 game on a PC without an emulator? You don't. In fact, are there any PS2 emulators? PS1 emulators are available and the games are very playable (higher resolution than the PS1 as well). Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted September 24, 2003 Yeah there are. Though the mostly in either beta or alpha. Which I don't understand, all I get is that ain't finished. Share this post Link to post

blakmaglc 0 Posted September 26, 2003 I think that it would be a good idea. Why not yeah probably alot harder but still i think it would be fun. Blakmaglc Share this post Link to post
fox34343 1 Posted September 26, 2003 the pc red alert was a bit better because it could be played online and modded other wise there was no differences between them Share this post Link to post
