Another ps2?

[LiqwidisT]

Hey guys...
A while ago I finally got a neo2.2, and was installing it fine until I realized my f'n main board didn't even have a Pin #7. This ps2 was a p.o.s. from around the time the warranty ran out newaze
>;-/ . So now I'm thinking of either getting a new v5 PS2 w/ a no-solder R-mod. But then I started thinkin... another $300.00+... Should I get an x-box instead? Which system do you guys prefer? I hear the xbox whoops the ps2s arse in the video department, and the programmers, I imagine, are getting better w/ programing for the box every game (cuz it's new... just an assumption). But I've never even played an x-box before, so I thought I'd get your guys' thoughts on this one?

Thanx fellaZ...
