ps2 or xbox

Well.. I don't want to be shot on this section for posting this, but I do LOVE my xbox. Here's why:

First, the graphics on the XBOX seem to be so much better than the PS2, but the PS2 does have a lot more titles available for their console. It is true that a lot more games are being ported over, but you might have to wait a few months after the PS2 release. Even still, I prefer to wait as the picture just looks so much better.

XBOX is (imho) a lot harder to mod. The information is scattered and trying to get a simple solution is not always an easy task. BUT, depending on which modchip you choose to use, you can do this yourself with a solderless mod chip. Be prepared to learn how to flash the bios and install a new dashboard.

With the PS2 mod chip.. it's sort of a "don't try this at home" procedure for installing unless you are great with soldering (even then I wouldn't recommend it). So be prepared to send off your ps2 to get a professional to install your mod chip.

Once the XBOX is modded tho there are so many more options on what to do with it. Such as, installing a new hard drive in which you can put your games on and just play without having to put in a disk. You can stream anime/mp3s/pictures from your computer through the xbox to your tv.. which provides a really good picture. I take my xbox on all my vacation trips loaded with anime, games, and mp3s.

I guess in the long run though it depends on what you want in a console. If you want a truckload of games to choose from, then PS2 is the way to go. If you want a little less variety in games, but want more features to play with then the XBOX would be the choice.

Hope this helps
