I got a dreamcast and still have a stack of games to play too. Probaly buy a few more games to keep me busy for the next year until there are price drops on the PS2(fingers cross).

I see your point, but I wonder how long it will take for the GC or X-Box to drop to that point? PS2's been around for a year, and still no price drop. Yes, by waiting, you pay less... but you pay extra to play right away, rather than waiting. Not EVERYONE has an N64 and a Dreamcast, ya know.
Of course, I have a PS2, and all these used PS1 games that I bought used when I got my PS2 but haven't touched yet. So I'm in the same boat, sorta. When I go home for Christmas, I will have a Blockbuster about 1 minute away from my house, and I really hope they have a GC to rent.

I'm having so damn much fun with this thing,
I don't even want to play anything else.

Holding off on both new systems until early next year......depending on the software....maybe wait for a price drop so I guess I will await future software announcements for both systems. The PS2 has more than enough to keep me busy for the time being.

I always wait for a few reasons
2) i like to see how the consoles go in the US and Japan so i know i'm not buying the 'loser'
3) Most importantly i like to see what the 'pirating' situation is, yes i'm a cheapskate ! i just can't afford many games and i get bored of games easily so i need heaps to keep me happy! I recently got a Dreamcast and my game collection is rising daily ! With the Neo 4 chip for the PS2, a mate having a dvd burner and games appearing on the net, i might get a PS2 this xmas
Disclaimer - i don't advocate piracy for others, please don't think i'm encouraging you to pirate. You should all be good girls and boys. I just advocate it for me (yes i'm a bloody hypocrite but in this case damm proud of it)

I am waiting for the ps2, x-box, and gamecube. I was waiting for the ps2 to drop down in price but I think I am going to pick one up for myself for christmas anyway. This is not because I want to wait till more games are out, I am just a poor college "kid"

I'm waiting a bit. I want to get a PS2 now to play MGS2 and Devil May Cry. The GameCube will have tons of good games to play next year, but nothing worthwhile right now.

I will wait for the next Next Generation of consoles before buying these three, but I will then buy all three. Currently I am playing the NES more than any other console. Go figure.
