After a really long struggle i can afford one so well i need your help about it

Ps2 or Xbox ???

or something else that i dont know of ?

Thnaks for your help

PS2, since you have more game's around and also, you can buy an online adaptor and thats a XPS2BOX

Ive got an Xbox, and i love it... Look at the price, cuz here in switzerland Xbox is cheaper than PS2.

PS2 has more games than Xbox.
Xbox has a hard disk so u dont need memory cards (thats why i got my Xbox)
Xbox is for 4Players, PS2 2 (without buying xtra equipment)
...

PS2 and Xbox are the same price in the US

I've got a PS2 and GC (which I regret buying)

I prefer the PS2 over Xbox mainly because I really like the Final Fantasy series and finally got the money for a PS2. I've never played a (or is it an? an sounds better if you say it aloud) Xbox, but with PS2, not only does it have more games, but it can also play all the old PSone games.

Also, don't forget about the DVD player that comes with the PS2.

I got a dvd player for my PC & TV. So i dint get a DVD remote for Xbox, but its not that expensive is it. Theres a version for 19.95 sfr (swiss francs) which is... like 15 US dollars or something.

better graphics = Xbox (also depends on the game)

give me the Xbox, even if ps2 has more games, xbox has quality games... No ps2 game will have dead or alive 3 graphics, trust me on that one!

better sound = xbox (dolby 5.1 support, PS2 DOESN'T have that)
faster = xbox (733 mhz, the fastest console on the market )

Dude, you going to let other people decide which console you're going to buy for you??.... There is no such thing as "the best console"

It comes down to what you like yourself which titles you like.... try both systems in a store or at friends somewhere.... and see for yourself what you like.

i agree.. the only one who can those is YOU..   

everyone has there favorite  so i would say buy a gamecube ..    mario games still rock,  i can't wait for paper mario 2 and metroid prime 2 and off course star fox 2    ..  but i guess you don't like gamecube at all

honestly i told myself that i would never buy an XBOX, because i really don't like the microsoft corporation or anything related to it.  But i couldn't help it.  PS2 doesn't have Halo lmao. and XBOX just has better games in my opinion.. i have everything but playstations...

PS2 or XBox..... hmmmmmmmm............

These two game systems  have een in compitition with each other for a long time now.  Each have nice features.  I bought a PS2, with I am very happy with.  But over all I do thin XBox is better, sicne you can turn yours into a cheap,  fast computer with mod chips.  And whats nice about the mod chips is when you wanna use XBox live, you can turn them off, so Miscrosoft sont ban your Box from there server. 

Does Xbox has any kind od os installed in it like windows or something to surf the net ??

i mean can i do that ??

if i can surf the net thn i am going for Xbox

wht say ?

Nah, cant surf the net wid xbox. None can. Well maybe if u Mod Chip em... But im not sure.

               Xbox                               
Cause it has Halo

Id get a ps2. Couse if you had a ps1 then you can play all you ps1 gams on your ps2. And the ps2 games down here, the games are like 20-30 dollers.

gamecube has too childish games... ps2 hasn't got enough technical specs to face xbox... and the only console that has a future is the xbox... ps2 is falling apart because all the new games are on xbox too

When i thought i'd go and get Ps2 suddenly i get two posts from Millenium_edition and pr0xy_nuk3r
now i m confused again

well now i feel i should buy the Xbox

both are good, but with xbox you can turn it into a fast, cheap computer.   But if your not interested in that stuff, just games, buy a PS2

yes you can.  you can with both.  You have to buy the hard drive for the PS2, and it doesn;t use windows, it uses linux.  I'm not sure what XBox uses, but YES you can surf the net with them.

PS2 for the back catolgue of games

Just make shure if u install linux on ur Xbox, that u dont wanna use Xbox Live. Cuz it wont work. I read a tutorial.

Like I said, Most new Mod chips come with a on off switch for when you wanna play on X-Box live.  When you turn it off, its just a regular x-box, "without linux" wink wink.   If you have linux installed, but the chip is turned off, x-bow live cant detect that you have linux installed.

but there are also many different versions of the xbox aswell, such as Crystal XBOX, Green XBOX, XBOX 1.5 (Smaller), Sky xbox and more. There are a lot of games now on the xbox, and if you think about it, you can get games that are on xbox that are also on ps2, and look at the graphics difference, the speed of the loading and saving, it halfs the time of the game!!


^crystal^

^Green^

^sky^

you can also get skins! Here!

and there are many other places!!

The Blue one:


And the gold one:


hey i like the silver ps2 it looks more high fashin but the blue can pass too

what about the gamecube?
it lots of quality titles, good graphics ant its v. cheap (where i live) and theres lots of replay value 4 most of the games, unlike a lot of titles

^crystal^

^Green^

^sky^

i like the crystal XBox better the green one looks shitty and the sky one that looks just awful

uhhh lets see the next XBOX WILL NOT include a hard drive and WILL NOT have backward compatibility and the cost be the same or maybe a little more than the PS3.

yeah XBOX is the future.... to be broke


and one other think just buy and XBOX just for HALO?? when you have a lot more of hit games on PS2 or GC

in the end you buy and XBOX just for maybe 1 and half or 2 years more of games that u dont know how good they will be and halo after that u are stuck with an out date not compatible piece of junk.

want great graphics?? check resident evil outbreak ps2 or Metroid Prime 2: Echos GC now those are really cool graphics and action games.

in my opinion by a GameCube

He also has a very intelligent lawyer for a father...

i'm holding up for my PSP, my computer will do fine until then

blah @ GC... i have a PS2 and its fine... does the job and i like the style of games.. its that easy. XBox is ok thought, just deppends on the person.


anyway... save your money and get the PS3

(Or PSP if you like)

Or you could save the same ammount of money, and around the same time, get an XB2X lol y not. its better, lol.... 

i dont know if the XB2 or the PS3 will be better...my Xbox kicks my PS2's ass but if the XB2 isnt going to have a HD unless PS3 will its probly not going to be that much better, the saftey cords and Live were great features in the Xbox, i was sick of my ps2 cords pulling it across the room and yeah well ill just have to wait and see...Any details on the XB2X and the PS3? Im presuming PS3 is seperate to PSP...

Does it seriously cost $60 for a memory card, they cost £10 here .

The hardrive is very useful, and you also have the custom soundtracks, so you don't have too listen too the crappy music that they have put on games like Conflict: Desert Storm.

Is Ps3 Xbox2 coming out soon ?

if yes, what are the new features ?
