My PS2 broke and I am contemplating whether to buy a new PS2, finally get an XBOX, or wait until the newer XBOX or PS3 comes out.

If you can deal with the waiting, you might as well. If you don't care about the PS3, then don't.

It's alright. Go out and buy an XBox to tide you over until the NextBox comes out November-ish.

I'm pretty sure, yeah.

And for anybody that plays Halo 2 on XBox Live, they are coming out with a new multiplayer expansion pack with 9 new levels at the end of summer.

[b]Japanese media reported on May 6th that the PS3 console is in development. The goal is to make new processor technology, called "grid" about 200x faster than current console technology. This is almost achieving their original goal of making the PS3 1000(!) times faster than the PS2. This goal was publically set by Mr Okamoto, the Senior VP and Chief Technical Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, at the 2002 Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California.
Wow!!!! :good:

Did anyone here about sony getting the technology to hook these things to your head to make you feel and taste things in the game. They said if they get it to work that it would work and getting blind people to see.


that would be something. but could you imagine playing resident evil or something like that and smell the dead bodies and things like that. It would be sick.
