My example is Final Fantasy VII, the PC version is nowhere near as good as the playstation IMHO. Time will tell, now it is just a matter of saving to buy the machine which will be nearly $500 (aus) more than what the current machine costs. Still with the DVD player it will have, it will still be cheaper than most DVD players, and all the internet capabilities it will have will persaude me.
