Hi I wonder why nobody is recommending the nintendo 64!!!
Its one of my favorite systems, but yeah, ps2 was one of my favorites - but it doesn't have as good of memory as the nintendo 64- but this does sound interesting and, since I live in Canada, and since my birthday isn't too long from now (PSP...here I come!) I might be game for trying it if you are, tom (we could both rent the same games and see what we thought of them, perhaps). Have a good day from Tyler C.
