croka99 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 (edited) HDTV and 1080i are huge. there is no way that you should discount those as they up the visuals like 200%. I know nohtign abou the ps2 harddrive but can you have over 20 cd's ripped onto it? I am relatively sure that you arent abled to use your headset in like any of the ps2online games. where on xboxes you can use it before and during games. PS2 has nothing like live. Live is alot fuller than ps2's online play. the xbox HD is only 8-10gig while the PS2 HD is 40! and thats with out modding!

Briandl79 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 As I've said before the 8GB drive is plenty for custom soundtracks, game saves, and cache (and it comes with the stock unit). Your stock Xbox user doesn't have any need for anything more than 8GB. Having said that if you have a modified console and you run your games from your hard drive (faster loading times and no scratched disks) a 120GB is a nice sized drive, and they cost the same as the PS2 hard drive (PS2 is 99.00 for 40GB, 99.00 can get you a 120GB for your Xbox). So for free I can get an 8GB hard drive which is plenty, or for 99.00 I can get a drive three times the size of a PS2 hard drive at the exact same cost (actually less if you want to get technical, Newegg and GoogleGear have 120's for about 96.00).

TheDreamX Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Get rid of that POS. Here are a few words that will make you want to get rid of your PS2...Halo HDTV 1080i Hard-drive Headset Live POS....Are you kidding me?? Thats just hilarious..you may like XBOX but cmon on POS??:crazy:y: I think not!!! Coupala reasons..... Game library Ps2 ALSO has a Headset and soon to be compatible with more games Socom.....Now cmon who doesnt think Socom rocks?? Socom2 will be out soon!!! POS? Yes, PS2 is a pos. Have you picked the think up?? It's the cheapest piece of electronic equipment that I have ever held!! You can feel the empty space inside and where the parts are. Stuff moves around, it's got a cheap case, 2 power controls, WTF?? The BEST part of the PS2 is its controllers. I admit, PS2 controllers rock because they are nicely built and comfortable. HOWEVER, I would so much rather use the Xbox controller (or even a GC controller for all I care) because of how confusing the PS2 controller is. Way too much buttons and they arent even labeled right. Circle, Square, Trianlge? WTF IS THAT??? You think there's a reason Nintendo, Sega, Microsoft, Atari, etc. never used those as buttons??? So I repeat my statement and stand firmly by it. I used to like the PSX when it first came out til it killed the Saturn and stayed around through N64's age. Then it ****ed me off. The PS2 looked sweet beofre it was launched. Then when I finally saw complete specs I vowed NEVER to buy a Playsation. Too much money for technology that I had in my decade old computer. Sorry Sony fans. BTW, true, PS2 does have a headset and it works with - what 7/8 games? Come on people. Live is the way to go. Live has voice in EVERY game, broadband only connections (the way it should be, sorry 56kers), downloadable content, and did I mention 8gb hard drive?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the current PS2 40gb hard drive is only for Linux. You cannot access it outside of that. Plus, it's $200 for the package. Even if Sony comes out with a game-friendly hard drive, its gonna cost you money. Xbox has it built in! Sorry for spamming, but I hate PS2 and I just have to help spread the truth.

ANova Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 (edited) Good for you dream. I however feel the xbox isn't quite a console. If you have a pc then you basically have a faster version of the xbox. Plus, I don't care for the majority of it's games. PS2 has a much larger selection, and guess what, the graphics quality is basically the same. IMO the ps2 is not cheap. The only part that could classify as being cheap would be the cd-drive. And even then, i've had my system since it came out, never experienced one problem. I also think the design of the PS2 is more elegant then that of the xbox.

devBrian Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I have all three of the major consoles, and I must say ... PS2 is the best. Final Fantasy XII, X-2, Gran Turismo 4, MGS3, all these games ... possibly gonna be the best games ever, respectively... XBox has ... Halo. And remember!!! PS2 will have a harddrive available for purchase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o_87 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Final Fantasy XII, X-2, Gran Turismo 4, MGS3, all these games ... possibly gonna be the best games ever, respectively... XBox has ... Halo. Please, that argument is getting old. "All Xbox has is Halo". I've heard that a billion times. It may have been, during the system's early life, but not true at all anymore. Lets see, XIII is already coming to Xbox. MGS3 will most likely release a year after it releases on PS2. Then the exclusives are: Fable PGR2 Half Life 2(granted it's on PC, but no other console has it) Doom 3(same thing) Ninja Gaiden DOA Series Grabbed by the Ghoulies Splinter Cell Pandora's Tommorow(The online component) True Fantasy Live Online Dues Ex 2 Those are all off the top of my head, there are probably more. But seriously, do we need to turn this thread into a console flame war? All Andy asked for was what exclusives are coming out on PS2, so he can make a decision as to whether he should sell his PS2.

AndyD Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 Yeah, let's not lose sight here. I loved the PS2 for the past couple of years but recently the Xbox seems more and more tempting. I just wanted some insight on what exclusive games there will be on the PS2 during the holidays and into 2004 so that I can make a sound decision of whether I should sell the PS2 or not.

devBrian Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I wouldn't sell PS2 either way. XBox is a good system, but I don't see any *MAJOR* games (besides True Fantasy Live Online) coming out... XBox is great if you want to emulate, but besides that, I use PS2 for the next-gen games. XBox allows me to play SNES & NES games, and that, to me is worth every cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted September 19, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 19, 2003 There is Gran Turismo 4 and FFX-2 coming up! So don't sell PS2...it is absolutely the best! (Y) You'll be regretted if you sell it ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaOddie Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 200% is a huge exaduration. Normal TV sets have a resolution of 640 x 480, HDTV only ups it to about 800 x 600. Nothing that special. It's noticable but I can certainly do without it. And the PS2 does support 1080i to an extent, you need to have a monster cable. Again, it's nothing really special.I believe it's a 20 GB which means you can rip about 40 cd's to it, assuming it's in a format like mp3 or ogg. The whole purpose of having a headset is to use it online. True, the games may have to support the option. Not sure on that. Sorry, but I have a Philips Matchline HDTV and it will up to 1024x768 instead of 800x600 :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 :blink: I must be dreaming ... you wouldn't buy GT4? :omg: :trout: I've bought all the other ones and lost interest half way through the game on each of them. Don't see the point of getting GT4 just to end up with the same outcome. I'm more of a Need for Speed type of a guy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANova Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I don't much care for Gran Turismo either. NFS has been my racing game of choice since the first one came out. Sorry, but I have a Philips Matchline HDTV and it will up to 1024x768 instead of 800x600 Are you sure about that? Or are you just speculating. Most HDTV's don't go higher than 800x600. Still very poor quality when compared to monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very poor quality when compared to monitors. I think you're getting HDTV mixed up with DTV or SDTV. HDTV is alot higher than 800x600, more like 1920x1080i or 1280x720p.
