snippet1 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Ok, My parents might be going to buy me and my sisters either an XBOX or PS2 for Xmas. It's just, I want an XBOX, but I think everyone else seems to like the PS2. Here's what I want; Moreso non-sport games Internet/LAN play Extensibility Capabitities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye_crust Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I would have to say if you want Internet play XBox is the way to go, and the xbox is real customizable with a modchip, yet PS2 has more games but i like the xbox the most i got both and i use xbox more cause of the modchip its fun to play around with. id say go with xbox, and for one of ur birthdays ask for a PS2. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Both of the systems are going to meet your requirements pretty well...its basically just up to what developers and what games you like more that are sold on just one system. I have a PS2 but have yet to buy the online adapter which will bring you hours of more gaming. It seems to me that a lot of people around here who mod their XBox enjoy playing on Live and along with its good selection of games (1 love Halo :D). Really its just up to you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 i like the xbox more, better graphics but the ps2s game selection is better. i think you should stick with the xbox maybe ask for both :ninja: :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I would say Xbox personally, I hardly touch my PS2 nowadays, it doesn't feel half as 'nice' to play now. But I think you need 2 make a choice based on current and upcoming games that appeal to you... Halo 2 being one you really MUST consider!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclingplatypus Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Well let's do the math... Xbox $179 Live kit $70 (New one with complete MechAssault) Ethernet adapter $included Hard Drive $Already there Not having the load screen come up after turning every other corner: $Priceless PS2 $199 (includes Ethernet adapter) Hard Drive $99 (maybe next year) People give the Xbox crap because you have to pay to use Live! but at least they included everything you needed to use it (excluding Live! kit) from the beginning. With the PS2 it seems every 8 months they are coming up with another add on. And then compare the graphics (Splinter Cell especially) and it's Xbox hands down. And there won't be any Halo 2 on PS2.

Phil Gates Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 i bought the playstation 2 because of the backwards compatibility with PSX games, and then you can play dvds on it right out of the box, and it has the most good games out there. edit: there won't be any Gran Turismo 4 on Xbox, but there will be Halo 2 on PC next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis187 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Xbox all the way man, you have doom3 and half-life 2 coming for the system. counterstrike this month and maybe halo deluxe(online playable) or Halo 2 which ever rumor end up being true. Porject Gotham 2, if you're looking for a racing game. Xbox is your only choice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hermit Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I went crazy trying to decide myself. I ended up buying an xbox because of internet support (an I only buy xbox live games). But now that PS2 has online games I kind of wish I got it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye_crust Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 if u think about it people say not many games are on xbox but if u go on amazon.com and other sites u can find like 240+ games, i know if u mod it and get in to the devils spawn of piracy scene of xbox games there is all kinds of games.. some of xbox games arent even in america for sales :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital vibe Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I am thinking about getting a PS2 rather then the Xbox. Reason why I am getting a PS2 over a Xbox. I like to play online games and the PS2 is free for online play (will most of the games are). Plus the PS2 has a better selection of online games rather then the Xbox. I already have Microsoft products, so I don't want a Xbox because most of the games that are released on the Xbox are released eventually on the PC or are already on the PS2 first.

glazzz Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 should have been titled "XBX or PoS2?" just move the O and you get your answer. xbox all the way. XBOX: $179 w/ 2 games (sucky, but still 2 games) and a FREE ethernet adapter w/2 months free xbox live (no communicator tho) :( PS2 : $199 w/ethernet adapter and atv crappy 2 $ 24-35 for a memory card since you have no hard drive $ 100-200/mo. for counseling for seeing the word LOADING way too much. $ ??? for a extension that allows you to play more than 2 people in 1 game, or do they make 4 player games? looks like the xbox is winning the money battle....although if it were about money i would just say get a gamecube. GCube: $99 w/ no online play but maybe a game if they're still doin that dealy $19 for a memcard $29 for the best multiplayer game ever, Super Smash Bros. Melee...one, i might add, your sisters might like too and then you can have fun beating the crap out of your sisters at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlerner Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I'm getting an Xbox myself, i've looked into it and the Xbox appeals more to me even if it's a few dollars more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejon Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 in my opinion, PS2 does have a lot of games, but most of them are horrid. They look like they were rushed, not all of them but most of them. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insurektion Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 xbox controller is great if u give it more than 15 minutes (controller-s that is) anyhow i have xbox now that gta3 and vice city (in one package) are available to xbox i see no reason to get ps2. xbox has awesome online support, great graphics, lotsa of good games (splinter cell, halo, tonyhawk 3,4 , max payne, max payne 2, fusion frenzy (great with friends). and lots others. anyhow id get it with one of those bonus packs its only 250 CAD.
