Tough choice. I have both, although the ps2 has more exclusive games, the quality of the xbox games is so much better. After playing an xbox game, it makes vice city look like a ps1 title. Not to metion the fact the xbox has a harddrive so you can listen to your own music while playing most games. Also metal gear solid is no longer ps2 exclusive as mgs2 substance is being released on both consols. The xbox is already online compatable, with lots of people beta testing at the moment, with it going online officially on march the 14th, whereas the ps2 is a fair bit off that stage and the harddrive for the ps2 might not even come out untill next year in the uk. I would recommend getting the xbox, as it is also cheaper than the ps2!!!

Sorry, I was refering to the uk only in my post. I think it is online in Japan, and the xbox is fully online in America.

I have both too.But the PS2 rules with titles like Vice City and The Getaway plus an add-on for The Getaway in the future and a sequel,the X-box dont stand a chance at the moment,maybe in the future.
Anyway,when the PS3 comes out around 'Feb 2005' it'll be backward compatable with PS1 and PS2 games and the UK will see PS2 online in springtime(this year) so that aint too far away(broadband only at the moment).
Oh,and the PS2 WILL have a 40Gb HDD compared to the measly 8 or 10 that the X-box has,so Bill Gates is gonna be spending a lot of $$$$$$ before he catches up with Sony.
SO THE PS2 IS THE ONE YOU WANT.
But if you have BIG hands like nokia 7650 owners then the X-box will fit you nicely.
Nearly forgot,how compatable will your SonyEricsson phones be with the PS2 and a Linux kit,this is what i'm interested,think about it.  |

Here;

The HDD slots in the PS2 and should be available seperatly,but i'd rather the Linux kit.
(The Linux kit can be configured for use with televisions).

I read somewhere that you can make PS2 games with it,thats why theres a 40gb HDD,but it can be used as a desktop computer.

Lol, ps2 better than XBOX?? jokers. Everyone who has all the systems (me included) will know that XBox is way better. GTA vice city, ha ha, same game just paying 45/40 pounds for a new background and new things to do, wow??? PES is the best game for PS2, but buying PES2 is a waste of money as its the same thing as last year but now with a fake dutch squad. Xbox are getting PES this year, also with online play (Read it some-where, forgot website, was an interview with person in charge for Konami) Getaway, crap: 7/10 edge and Hitman 2 is better (XBox version).
There are many reasons why xbox is better:
Dobly Digital 5.1, damn!!!!!!! do you know how goods xbox games sound in 5.1????? Too much for ps2 (especially when comparing games out on both systems) 5.1 Sound in Halo, SC, UC, TS2, PGR, GR etc make the game even better, if you have the money i recommend you get yourself a 5.1 system as well.
Dvd playback is better on Xbox, simply as that, no more explaining.
Xbox Live, I currently have all Live games (Unreal Championship, Ghost Recon, NFL Fever 2003 etc) though i dont have a broadband connection and cant experience them online yet (cant find cheap and reliable ISP, any ideas?) they are still great games played offline and 4 player split screen.
etc etc many more reasons....
The ps2 hard drive maybe 40gb but it cost 150 pounds!!!! You idiots are going to have to sell your ps2's to buy it (Yes i know, then you wont have nothing to use it with, that was the point fools) 8gb is enough, i hated it when i got my GC and didnt have a memory card (for RE) to save the game, had it leave it on for 2 nights so i could complete it. Oh and Gamecube is better than Ps2 anyway, wayyy better games and cheap for people who dont have deep pockets (selling mine now, with 3 games for 150, any1 interested?). Mario sunshine is better than all games on ps2 (ch4 text, 2002 charts)
Trust, if anyone (that person who asked which is better probabily has made his choice already) is going to get a games console with-in the next few weeks, make sure you get an xbox.
Ps2 is dead, what games are coming out this year????? (Good ones, AAA titles???) |

Probably??? LOL u dont even know, plus i said good ones, not cheap crap ones from EA or any other sh*t game that is unoriginal, a sequal that is worst than the first etc. Go on name some....
I'll be waiting, i bet i double your list
Also what games have you bought in the last 2 months? I'll prove to you that you've wasted your money and that xbox games are better.
