I don't. :P

May be forced to get one though, if the new Shining Force (not Shining Tears) game is adamant to be exclusive to the console. Damn, being a SEGA fan is expensive. >_<

The only thing dumber than this marketing strategy is the fact that people will fall for it.

I was going to buy a PS2 last weekend as a bit of an impulse buy after wanting to get my hands on GTA: San Andreas. I'd been a big fan of the first two games (GTA and GTA2, not GTA3 and Vice City, since I never had a PS2) for some time and wanted to play the latest installment.

So I go around to Debenhams, because I had a money off voucher and surprise! They didn't have any left. So off I go to try someplace else... After I left the sixth shop in a row without a PS2 under my arm I just thought "f**k it. If Sony don't want to put any PS2s in stock this year just for that 'toy nobody could get' image then they can do without my custom."

I heard a lot of people talking about PS2s on my travels around Oxford :( I hope those people who can't get a PS2 because of the stupid hardware drought buy a competitors machine instead... hopefully after the initial dissapointment, their kids will come around and see that the sun doesn't rise over Sony's bum cheeks.

I played GTA: SA at work a few days later and decided I can do without it anyway.

Just followed the link in your sig. I love the 'arcade' snap. rad.
What's the story?

The story behind the arcade shot? It was just this arcade sign in a bowling alley that I thought would make a cool wallpaper. Although it is weird standing on your tippy-toes with a camera in front of many a person wondering what the heck you're doing.
