    I'm not sure why PS2 is so popular, as it seems like most of the games that come out for it are crap, or out on another system with better graphics.

    At the moment, the PS2 has a gigantic selection of RPG's available, compared to the other consoles. That's why I bought one, anyway.

    Anakin kills the Younglings, chokes Padme, burns in lava. Padme delivers the twins and dies.

    One thing about consoles is they should NEVER crash for any reason. If this gets pushed out too early it will be crash friendly like the early x-box I believe?

    You ever seen SMB3 crash? Heck no!

    I'm making the point that, YES, I have seen consoles crash. Specificly, I HAVE seen SMB3 crash, due to the flawed combo of a weak-72 pin connector and a sensitive Lockout chip.

    Relevant line from that link: Unfortunately, inadequate testing of this design prior to release resulted in one of the NES's most infamous problems

    I believe these kinds of "rush-to-market" flaws are exactly what the GP is complaining about, so an NES game was probably the worst example.

    All I have to say is

    The Phantom is dead!!!!
    Long live the Phantom!!!!!
    Xbox 360 kind of looks like a Phantom on Steroids. Infinum Labs could learn alot from Microsoft's unveiling.

    I can just hear it...
    "Boys I'm buying you a Phantom for Christmas"
    "But Grandma if you get us an Xbox 360 we can give you our X-box for you house so we can play games with you when we visit"
    "You boys are so good looking out for Grandma, now if we can just get your lazy as father off the couch"
