X-Box or PS2 - Page 2

Well I have PS2.

But I only got one, because of FF X and to use it as DVD-player.

Otherwise I would had bought GameCube.. IF anything.

x-box is a very worthy purchase. The dvd player is excellent and easy to use, there are limited games out justnow but some huge titles comming up in 2003. im personally looking forward to project ego.
When x-box live is running well, you will be able to download new levels and mods for games.
dont let the "poor sales" chanters put you off, as its pretty obvious poor sales wont bankrupt microsoft and make them abandon the x-box. and remember that x-box was pricey on its release but has come down in price drasticly, and also that PS2 already had a huge fan base of ps1 gamers eager for the realse of the ps2. x-box will get there in the end.
the games are a bit pricey justnow though.

however if its for kids, your best bet is a gamecube, loads of great fun colourful titles, as well as things such as resident evil for the grownups.
plus if you have a game boy advance, on some games you can connect it to your gamecube and play sub-games on the gameboy advance.

ps2 is a ps1 with better graphics in the games, thats all there is to it. the dvd player is not bad but it isnt exactly a professional job worthy of sony.

They both have there qualitys X box's graphics are much better but PS2 has many more games plus the playback capabilty. Also the X-Box reqires you to buy a 30 or 40$ remote to watch DVD's. I think with the 2 games it is a great deal I know Jet Set Radio (one of the games you get) has been rated really good.

So if you want quality graphics and games go X-Box but if you want a bigger ammount of games go PS2

I second that.

PS2 for better games, a REAL DVD player for DVDs

Xbox is pathetic and Halo isn't as good as people say it is.

Gamecube = Zelda and Metriod and Resident Evil series = enough to buy it.

well it seems about 50/50 so I think Ill go with the Xbox deal. Thanks for your replys

Good choice there Sgt. You should be happy with your purchase, bigger and better games are coming in the New Year, and Xbox Live is going to be fantastic. I hope you enjoy it biggrin:

Pyro, you must have never touched an Xbox to say that the DVD player on the PS2 is better. I mean come on, I know your fanboy, but wake up. Xbox DVD hardware is exceptional in quality. The PS2's DVD player is just some slap together 2 second job which produces the same quality that went into putting it together, which is, to put it bluntly... utter shit.

Ok the world wants to know, what exactly do the initials MB stand for?

The ps2 dvd playback is very pixxelated in some dvd's. Xbox is around the quality of a midrange price dvd player and afaik the panasonic q actually has slightly better quality over xbox. Then again you would barely notice it i spose.

BallisticWookie · 12-06-2002, 10:06 AM

Hmmm, the picture quality between the Xbox and PS2 DVD playback is very noticeable and its obvious when looking at the 2 which is better....Xbox. I also notice that picture and sound go out of sync when watching DVD's on the PS2, might just be mine, but when that happens, I know the DVD player is shit.

Ok if u wanna buy kitty games get gamecube. If u want hardcore games get xbox or ps2. If u want good graphics get xbox. So basicly every system has its perks and down falls.

How much is the Xbox, PS2, Gamecube?? I'm thinking about purchasing a console next summer, not sure what to buy either. But most likely the X-Box.

Not to go off-topic here, but isn't the Playstation 3 'said' to be released in 2004?? Any of you heard news of any other new consoles being released anytime soon in the future?
