Devnull_ Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yes. Save up some more and wait till PS3 is released, but if you want to spend money, go for an XBOX they come with like 3 games.

syphern Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 damn i hate you guys! i was actually thinking of getting the ps2 system later in 2004 only because im in love with gt series but now u say xbox has waaaay better graphics and im a graphics freak. so now i cant decide what to get... tbh the only thing thats keeping me buying a xbox is the lack of good games... i didnt really like halo (pc) and it feels crap playing a fps on a console. splinter cell 2, well it will be out on the pc too halo2 bah! fps on console not for me Dead or Alive: Online, i wont be playing online games on my console (cant afford it lol) im really into good rpgs and xbox have a huge lack of them. ps2 has great ones ff kingdom hearts etc and above all i would probably get ps2 for gt4 seriously i fell in love with that series... just the option of having 500+ cars to choose from is fantastic. so overall i would still go for the ps2 (hope its waaay cheaper later in 2004) and most probably chip it lol (cant afford the games either) and get imports from canada (bro lives there). prices in the uk suck... anyways peace guys ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/126454-is-it-too-late-to-buy-a-ps2/page/4/#findComment-1527405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted December 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2003 Have you played Halo on the Xbox? It's way different(graphics..fps) on the PC. Dead or Alive Online is not only online. They're revamping the graphics. Project Gotham Racing 2...best racer for the Xbox. Kotor is your rpg.

krazeguy Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 If I didnt own a PS2 I would buy one simply for GT4, they are pushing the boundries again, and the graphics looke even nicer this time round! The prolouge version is already out in Japan, and it looks damn nice!!! Anyway, and only $140USD for a PS2 its the price you would pay for an ok graphics card, and some people spend that in a week on drugs and alcahol. So wat am i saying? - Dont do drugs do PS2, well dont do it, just buy it, then you can work on ur Playstation Tan all summer (or winter over there) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/126454-is-it-too-late-to-buy-a-ps2/page/4/#findComment-1527486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted December 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2003 That's the same with Xbox. I would simply buy it for Halo 2. Plus you can mod it.

Starman Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 ffx2 is the most rediculous excuse for a final fantasy game i've ever seen. worse than ff11 :xi hate the way square is going with them now, they used to be awesome, but now it seems final fantasy is going down the drain... :cry: It's a very lighthearted game, but it gets VERY serious towards the end. I'm in chapter 5 now and I'm glad I didn't dismiss it as 'corny' because it's a very good sequel to FFX. FFXI can't be compared to the others. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

arewhyfour Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I own bought a ps2, and loved it, but I saw the xbox just sitting there, so I picked one up and the graphics blew me away. I started picking Xbox games over ps2 (if they were released on both) and still do it to the day. Wouldn't have it any other way. I still enjoy my ps2, don't get me wrong, but when I get a chance to use the xbox over it, I do. and ...... the PS1 (the old one, not the PSOne) was very ****tly made and ... sowasthepstwo ... ok i'm stopping now Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/126454-is-it-too-late-to-buy-a-ps2/page/4/#findComment-1529415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.KICK Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 We know he has the Xbox already, I am just simply saying he is wasting his money. Okya the games list of which you said are decent and out for ps2 is stupid because 3 off those are already out on Xbox and Manhunt is comfirmed to come for the Xbox. In your lists of current games for 2004, I will ststae which ones are coming to Xbox and not just PS2, StarCraft:Ghost , the developers are spedning more time on the Xbox version so it will be better. I don't like you sytated Colin Mcrae Rally 4 because well thats already out in Europe and has been for ages and out on Xbox. Hitman:Contracts is coming to Xbox, same with Pandora Tomorrow. We are getting Headhunter: Redemption also. Dead to Rights II: Hell to Pay also. Conflict Vietnam. Getting Call of Duty :Finest Hour.Getting state of emergency 2. To be honest none of the rest appeal to me apart Time Splitters 3. Die Hard Vendetta is crap. These games are nothing unlike what the Xbox will offer- RPG's B.C. Fable True Fantasy Sudeki Action Games StarCraft: Ghost Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tommorow Ninja Gaiden Shooters Halo 2 Full Spectrum Warrior Painkiller Trinity Adventure Kameo Conker: Live and Uncut Fighters Dead or Alive: Online Breakdown And that is just a small list of what the big games it has to offer. You think PS2 is good, Buying a PS2 +Network Adapter + HDD would cost around ?200 here iirc compared to the just ?129 for the xbox. Stick with your Xbox and dont bother buying the PS2 imo .

Joseph B Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 How about you save that money you were going to waste on a tnt filled box, and buy a gaming machine.

S_Herbie Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Simple solution, pick up a cheap 2nd hand PS2 and get the games you want - initial oulay lower so it won't sting as much if you wanna upgrade to PSX or PS3. I have an original PS - my first ever console and i have only had that for about 3 months (28 years old - how did i survive???) Will probably get the PSX if it comes out in UK (price dependant) but only cause of massive back catalogue and HDD / DVD recorder built in.
