I doubt that, I've been following all the next gen consoles very closely. MicroSoft might comeout with their Next Generation console by fall 2005, but Sony and Nintendo both would probably postpone it till Summer 2006. No point in rushing I believe. There are plenty of awaited games slated for PS2 and GameCube for the coming year. Allthough I think we might see GameBoy Advance2 released in fall this year. But my best bet for accurate info on all the next gen consoles and handheld would be in the E3 2005. Till then amm'a not believe anything.

Guys, I have been wanting to know how many of u do online gaming on the PS2 ?? If yes, wat connection do u use and is it any fun ? Also where can one get the online adaptor from in India ...

Also is there any kind of adaptor which allows one to connect the PS2 to 2 TVs simultaneously and play the 2 player versiion of the game on them instead of the screen splitting into 2 halves as that reduces the viewing area and loses out on a lot of fun ....

cheers

P.S -- Anybody wanting to sell their GT3 or older original version pls let me know ....

Guys

Bought a PSII for my son on his birthday recently...since I'm not into gaming I'd like some inputs...

I bought games like Brian lara cricket, NFS and GT4 with the console, but these are obviously quite complicated for a 6 year old.

Any ideas on what kids play on PS? THe young man is a bit frustrated with his new toy right now.

Would also appreciate it if PS2 fans here can post a few links to sites that I can bookmark for him on his PC...

Steeroid.

Games in the UK usually have a age rating on the front. Go for ones with a low age rating. They should be easy to play and not too gory/violent.
