Yakko's Journal: I love Unix

This is why I'll buy a PS2. It's the final nail in the coffin for which console to get. Looking at the other choices, however, the decision was a foregone conclusion. Quick review:

• xbox: Why bother? If I wanted to play on a PC, I already have one. Yes, I know it's not a "PC" in the traditional sense, and all that. I just don't like the idea od an inhell-powered console. EOF(xbox)
• gamecube: Promising on the surface (and onscreen), but with the uninviting Gamebit screws securing it, and the proprietary platter, I couldn't justify giving Nintendo another chance. EOF(GameCube) for now
• Dreamcast: YES! Now at $50, I can get another one (if I can FIND one) just to HACK on!
• PSX: Have one, bought it for Galaga, not very useful hacking-wise. I haven't tried very hard, either
• PS2: This is simply the most appealing and compelling system out, afaic, even tho it's $300. It has amazing capabilities, and now that its potential is being realised, and killer games are out for it, I'll be gracing my desk with consoles with one very soon

I have a DC, a PSX, and a Genesis... and they all still get used regularly... :o)

Update: I finally followed thru and blew money on the PS2 and a copy of GTA3. I'm a lousy driver, let's put it that way.
