I'm not going to base a vote on the types of games it has. Each person will have their own preference about a game, anyway. To say "Xbox rules because of these games" is going to be ultimately debatable to many others, it's ridiculous. The Xbox is the biggest console ever which is no surprise anyway since it comes from Windows. Filesize and physical size.
I own a PSTwo and like it. It's not my favorite gaming machine, though. Limited features compared to the PS2. GameCube? HA! Please, folks. When this console came out they said it was to be the next generation of gaming from Nintendo. That's exact why they went from a N64 which was 2D and 3D mixed to the Cube which was a, ah yes, 2D and 3D mixed! What next generation? It's the same **** thing! Now they make yet another one called Revolution? If that thing is the same, I am going to punch a wall sooo hard just to vent my utter disgust. Now to choose my favorite gaming console. None. The PC is the best.  (Null Vote)

XBOX offcourse! What other console can u do all the things (and the easy way we do it) u do with a Xbox?
Reading a Divx on a PS2 gives more work than a art piece .. and thats when the PS2 doesnt fail. Can u hook the PS2 to the PC and use it as a Multimedia Center? Xbox rulez!  SOnu27: Nice wmv!  Thats a nice way to test things ...!

I for the Xbox all the way!!! PS2 is not bad, but the Xbox has better graphics and much, much, much better online play.
Also, Xbox's can be modded without opening the box. I Softmodded mine a while back to play my 'backups'. Never had to crack the case. |

The only reason it is much better is becuase it requires a faster connection. While I use 300k on NFS U2 netplay.
Do XBox users need to pay per month or something for XBox Live? |

QUOTE (un4given1 @ Mar 1 2005, 08:01 PM) Playstation 2 gets my vote. Sure, the graphics on the XBox may be better but keep in mind it has a whole year of extra technology in it. I am a BIG RPG fan, and te XBox just doesn't have enough to make me go out and waste my money on it. You're kidding, right? Granted, PS2 has more games, but it also has more CRAP games than every other console *combined*. XBox has recently gotten great RPG's like Fable (which is superb in spite of not quite pegging the hype) and the new Jade Empire. I'll tell you what, though: JE *alone* is worth the system purchase. In addition, the Live service is *far* beyond anything Sony offers or is even *rumored* to offer anytime soon. Sorry, but PS2 over XBox? You gotta be smoking crack. |

Do XBox users need to pay per month or something for XBox Live? Nope, it's $50 US for the *year*. When XBox360 comes out your XBL account becomes a "Gold" account (same price, full 24/7 access to play your games online and everything else), while everyone who even *buys* an XBox 360 will get a FREE silver account allowing free play on weekends and some other goodies, as well as access to all the other neat features. Should be **** slick! Jason |

QUOTE (hamstar @ Mar 4 2005, 04:58 AM) XBOX is crap.. I ain't no fanboy either.. I just hate xbox.. It's ridiculous. A family of four fits inside!! Look at this! http://hamstarsdld.tripod.com/unfair.html Yeah, you're a fanboi alright. What a load of crap that link is. Does anyone here believe for ONE second that the PS2 is actually MORE powerful than the XBox? All you have to do is look at a game like Splinter Cell, compare the XBox to the PS2 and you'll see plain as day what a LIE that is! Sorry, but PS2, while it DOES have a few good games (IMHO, the Metal Gear Solid series has one of the most well told stories of any console game to date) the system CANNOT be said to be more powerful than XBox. It's just idiocy to even make the claim. Jason |

Yeah, they definitely should have, the XBox would have made a better show of it. However, I DO have to say that the Metal Gear series is, IMHO, the single best storytelling going on on ANY of the major consoles. Kojima is awesome, and Microsoft definitely needs to dump a load of cash into Konami's lap to make games for 360. Jason |

I've gotta say PS2. I prefer racing games to RPGs, and GT4 and the burnout series make my day. Also, I've got the slimline, and I can tell you that it's much more portable than the XBox, and possibly the GameCube (dunno about this... but it's **** portable). I can carry the console, 4 controllers, and several games in a box no bigger than your average shoebox.
Not to mention that my investment in games for my old PSX and PS2 will come in handy when I buy the PS3. We don't even know if XBox360 will be backwards compatible... |

Jason reason is similar to why halo is not ported to ps2... i also doubt MGS is the only PS2 game that worths the cash, think about tekken, gran turismo, soul calibur 3 (yes it is said it will only be released for ps2), and many many other titles. PS2 had my vote, not for being more powerful or for having better hardware, most (if not all) of my favorite games are exclusive for that console. with a PS2 you can also do the same than with the box. |
