No question, X-Box, After playing on it at the ECTS world Comuter fair in London the other year, i was first in queue for one of the little babies, nothing compares, ever played Halo??? that one game in itself is worth getting an X-Box for, and they're bringing out Halo2 (also get splinter cell, it's so smart) |

LAF.
The X-Box is a dead duck.
Halo and possibly Halo 2, you say?
Splinter Cell?
Lets see, what has PS2 got...
GTA:Vice City and its no doubt sequels, Metal Gear Solid, ISS Pro Soccer, Gran Turismo, Colin McRae and numerous other great rally games, Devil May Cry and its sequel and those are just ones that I have thought of in the last couple of minutes.
Another important fact is that all these games that were originally only going to be on X-Box are coming over to PS2. Why is that, if not the fact that the X-Box is not selling so well and the companies know where to come?
An example of this is Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions.
Then there is the fact that the PS2 is backwards compatible, meaning a move from PS1 to PS2 would be much more palatable than PS1 to X-Box.
Plus, you don't have to be some form of octopus to work PS2, whereas the horribly designed X-Box pad is terrible.
Also, you could actually have PS2 out and like the look of it, whereas with something that looks like a 1986 VCR in your main room you may lose friends quickly.
The only reason the X-Box hasn't gone the way of the Dreamcast and Saturn is the fact that Microsoft have so much money they are just throwing billions at it and are quite happy to lose money on every single console they buy.
And the worst thing about that is when clueless parents are asked by their children for a PS2 this Christmas, the parents could well go out, see el cheapo nasty X-Box and decide to get that instead so they save money.
I fear for those childrens future.
Get yourself a PS2. It's the only way to go.

I'm an RPG - Action Game enthusiast, and with Metal Gear Solid, Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, etc. I definitely recommend getting a PS2.
X-Box is just a way for Microsoft to monopolise the game console industry.

Ok. What PS2-game do you recommend the most? Best? Worst? Can I use my \"old\" PS1 games on PS2?

Vice City, Metal Gear Solid, Tony Hawk4 are good games.
Yes u can use ur old PSXgames. As long as they are original, and not a duplicate. U can play duplicated games if u got an chip installed.

PS2 all the way... It's just a better system, way more games and get a mod-chip put in that badboy and you'll be playing games for way cheaper too. |
