    One hundred-twenty new online games before January? That equates to 30 games per month, or over one game per day until the end of 2004.

    Woop! I am totally calling in sick -- for the rest of the year.

    Do they seriously expect to be able to compete against Infinium Labs' Phantom? Good luck!

    I have a regular PS2 and I think I just might buy one. Why? I hate having to share my PS2 with my kids.

    My six year old never let's me play GTA: Vice City without using cheats. He likes rampaging through the town on land or water (hover car cheat) just for kicks. Me, I just want to finish the damn game.

    Maybe if I had my own PStwo I can play SOCOM II without my kids or wife bothering me. All in the comforts of my own room. :)
