XBOX vs PS2

<< < (5/6) > >>

Big BpG:
I would by a PS2, I own all three systems and  all my xbox does is sit around. I try to enjoy it but don't. PS2 is a very reliable system, just as reliable as Xbox... there are tons and tons of games for the PS2, especially beat em ups... and soul calibur is coming to the PS2 as well, so need to worry about it being just on the Xbox exclusive. If you really really wanna save money, xbox saves a lot on only memory, but remember, you need to buy a dvd kit to play DVD's... and to play online you need to buy a starter kit, dont believe all the hoopla about getting the adapter included, it wont  work unless you get the starter kit... plus monthly charges... in the end,  PS2 saves you more money online than Xbox... I'd go with ps2, great games, tons of them and no show of them letting up... also  wait a week or two, the prices will be dropping

duno about anywhere else, but in australia you get the DVD kit with the xbox .. my little brother has pretty much every game system known to man, from the atari 2600, to sega mastersystem 2, all the way through to xbox & ps2, and he swears by the xbox since i modded it for him, only game he says is any good on ps2 is GTA vice city(?)

for me it was more about what i could do with it, ive got a 120gb drive filled with games and movies, video clips etc.. easier than watching it on a PC, or burning cds etc..

I've heard that too... apparently prices of all the 3 big consoles are to drop :)

"According to the news piece, and as we reported earlier this month, the Xbox is due to drop to $149 in the US. Sony will also be pitching its PS2 at that price. Meanwhile, Nintendo will be dropping the Gamecube down to $99."

although a more recent news item says Sony might not be thinking the same or they might be bluffing so sales dont wait for the price cuts ! ;) :

"A price drop for Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 2 in the U.S. is likely not going to happen if we are to believe Kaz Hirai, president of the company's U.S"

Straight up, don't be acting like you don't have to buy no fucking adapter for PS2. Get the BOX man, shits worth it, no memory card bullshit, custom soundtracks with your own music, broadband ready!!
