....The price has been amended to £159.99 (Play.com) :(

Know of a cheaper on-line seller?

Please......:(

Get an Xbox instead, should get it for £119 or something over there, and once you mod it, it's lot more flexible than PS2. It's got everything else but GTA Vice City. ;)

Doesn't have gran turismo 3 or the Getaway which are prolly the only 2 games I'd get with one. I'm looking for a cheap ps2 too but due to being skint it's gonna have to wait a couple of months.

Tomb Raider's out at the end of next week so I've got to get a PS2! (I'm a bit of a TR fan :notworthy ).

I was really pissed off that I had found one for £129.99 and the day I go to order it they've put the price up £30! :(

B0llocks:wack:

Everything you need to know about modding/modded xbox, you can find at www.xbox-scene.com :)

That's a good site, that's where I picked all my tutorials from. Now my xbox is running an EvoX -mod chip with in-game-reset, as well as the latest EvolutionX -dashboard. It's connected to my LAN, so I can ftp the stuff back and forth my xbox's 40Gb harddisk, and now I even got it working so that I run a RelaX-server on my computer, and share my digicam pictures, MP3's and naturally all movies and video clips to my xbox. So I don't need to move them to my xbox hdd, I just stream them from my computer and run them in my living room with widescreen television and High End DD 5.1 -system. :D

Amazon.co.uk are currently doing a PS2 for £150.

Well, since my computer has 200Gb of disk, I didn't see it necessary to have more than 40Gb on the Xbox. As I mentioned, I can stream all the MP3's and stuff which I keep on my computer anyways - no use storing them in two places, you know...
