A place to put all speculation about PS2 and Xbox2 instead of putting in the Gaming in General, PS2 and GT4 forums...
 
The GT4 forum, when set up originally, was 6 months before the release date of GT4. As it turns out, it was 18 months+ before the game has even thought about coming out - and you've seen the hideous mess caused in the forum by hundreds of over-excited people repeatedly posting the same stuff over and over and over again.

The PS3 is slated for a first arrival in Japan in April 2006. IF it meets that deadline. I don't think we need a forum for discussing it until at least this time next year, as any stats anyone can come out with are 100% likely to change before the consoles hits shelves.

Famine has made a grammatical error, the world will now end.
 
I've looked through the Gaming Forum, and it doesn't look too bad. I've not seen a single thing on the PS3 in the PS2 Forum, and I can't recall seeing it in the Xbox Forum, although I very rarely visit that.

Plus, the Forum would be a huge waste of space as it would be quite inactive. I think there should be a Thread on the subject, not a whole Forum.

EDIT: You also made a grammatical/spelling error:

Back on-topic please.

Forums get created for topics when the level of coversation demands it, not just because someone thinks it's a great idea.

Anyway, talking tech specs on vapourware gets really tired, really fast.

Exactly - And a very good reason to throw them in another Forum - It's easier to ignore...
 
Why don't you just make 2 separate threads: one for PS3 Rumours, the other for Xbox 2 Rumours?

Easier and less of a waste of space than a whole Forum. That way you can ignore the threads.

It's got 6 letters, starts in S and ends in R.

What Jordan doesn't need right now it to expand GTP.

Would never work...

You know, I went downstairs to the controlroom this afternoon to watch the search button right ? (have you got any idea how dirty it is down there ?)... Stood there for like 3 hours, and not a single person used it. Sure, they used the New Posts quite a lot, the New Thread button also got a more than it's share of clicks. But not ONE person used the search button..

So even if I made the two suggested threads, they would just go where old threads go to die...
 
Yes, I think it is a bit too early at this point to create new forums for the new consoles.
 
A single stickied thread in one of the forums would do well, don't you think? I'm not sure what the current situation is as far as PS3 discussion, but a thread would serve the purposes nicely...

I think it would be best to wait until a couple months before it is released.
Exactly like they did to GT4 forum.... Oh wait, you said months not years. :ouch:

Yes this would be the solution for us daily visitors but the new members usually disregard it and just go and post a new thread so I dont think a sticky would have any effect?
