PS2: It's Cool

Dear Future Gamer

I have to say I disagree with Scott MacDonald's opinion from the Feedback section of FG48, that the PS2 looks like "an old CDTV lying around in my attic" or "that logo looks like something out of Buck Rogers". Firstly, I think PS2 looks very sexy. I must say at first I thought it looked a bit strange because it doesn't look like a console. However, the more you look at it, the more you fall in love with it. Sony have made games-playing cool, and this new system is simply that: cool. The colour scheme is sexy and as for that logo... well, it isn't as good as Dreamcast's, but it's very futuristic. As for me maybe getting a little too enthusiastic about the PS2... hell no. The future's bright - the future's Sony's.

FG: PlayStation2 - sexy or CDTV? Actually, CDTV was way ahead of its time. It looked the business and more's the pity that the world wasn't quite ready for its charms. That's our view and we're sticking to it. And as for CD32...
