all you guys are drooling over which games the xbox and ps2 support. but the biggest frustration i have with my ps2 is its inability to connect to a network (w/out a network adapter)and no online gaming with dialup, only broadband. my freind told me the other day that sony is launching a newer version of the ps2 which supports 10/100 LAN. that is good. freshseasons, i recommend more pcs and less ps2s.

One basic question : how much do u want to invest and in what time do u intend to recover it back and what profit margin do u expect?

calculate ur total investment including the location setting up furnitures, advtg etc. and see whether u r getting the required profit margin.

i will recommend starting with few consoles so that risk is less. later on u can increase the numbers. Quality is what should matter not the quantity. don't think of going head- on with reliance. thay have a greater advantage over u.

if you have already invested 4 lakh (in ps2s and xboxes) that means you must be aiming at essentially single player gaming. no multiplayers like counter-strike or command and conquer (they have a huge market too)

Yes it is the 9200 is a dx8 based thats why i dint recommend it in the first place. Another option is the 9550 @ 5k which is a dx9 based card. But i'd still go for the 9600. Since ur giving ppl world class features @ ur gaming cafe, u better have the components to match it.
