Is a switch to PS1 ->PS2 justified?

Although the games at the moment aren't up to much, the playstation 2 is a good buy. For a start you get a DVD player which for £20 can be made multi region using Region-X. All your old Ps1 games will work on it so you will have something good to play on until some of the better titles are released. If you are a final fantasy fan FFX is due out around November on PAL this will put the PS2 to the test as you can expect lots of FMV's and quality gameplay from Square. There are already some fantastic games on the PS2 like gran turismo 3, Tekken tag, etc. Plans for expansion on the PS2 such as broadband gaming are being developed. If you wait for the X-Box and Gamecube you will also have to wait for chips to be developed and copy methods and patches to be released, with PS2 the Neo 4 is near release date and game copying guides and patches are easily and readily available. With the X-Box look at some of the games microsoft have brought out for the PC all tosh. The x-box looks like it is going to be a glorified games PC. You might as well just stick to using a PC and have done with it.
