1. Durability ; the box can take & dishout more damage than a PS2.

2. Storage : I can put any size drive in my box & never worry about my DVD games getting scratched stolen or loss, also the load times on a hard drive is awesome). & less wear & tear on my DVD drive.

3. The games: sure PS2 has some great games, but so does the XBOX. Not to mention all of the available emulations thats out for it (totally awesome). My genre of games are fighters (Mostly 2D). So with the emulation (NeoGeo, CapCom, KI/1&2) I can play all of them on 1 machine . Cant do that on ps2. Also DVD playback is also available when u mod a xbox (Dont have to buy the DVD remote).

4. Ez 2 repair; I've worked on all game systems (including arcade machines) . It's ezier 2 work on the box than PS2.

5. HardWare/ Case Modification; Dude have u seen the way some of these guys customize their box !!!!

6. NetWorking ; I can link my box 2 my pc & copy files between them for updates, games, etc.. no memory card required (PS2 has to have a memory card) thats another piece of hardware i dont have 2 keep up with (especially with kids).

1. Yeah probably, but ps2 is nicer to carry.

2. $$$, anyways who cares what happens to your dvd drive if you can afford a 220gig HDD. Surely you can afford a $100 new dvd drive.

3. Personally I cant stand fighter games. They never really change except for characters. Heck even the characters dont change by much, japanese chicks with large breasts, big fat guys/bears, or the occasional Russian guys. All the fight scenarios havent changed in years. Really "I" can go on and on for hours on this subject but lets leave it at that.

4. Well the only real problem with ps2 has been the laser. I really an not sure how many things can go wrong with an xbox but I dont see the PS2 as a big problem.

5. That can be sorta lame, and yes I have seen plenty of them.

6. Yeah PS2 memory card thing sucks. I totally agree there.

7. PS2 comes with DVD playback already and Xbox requires you to "BUY" some extra piece of hardware i dont have 2 keep up with.



Tyler, oh yeah and hello.
