Which is do you prefer? PS2 or Xbox

[Quall999]

hmm, xbox does have some good titles, don't sell it short. It may not have as much hot sellers as others, but that doesn't mean they are terrible. I'm not sure if RB6: black arrow is out for PS2 yet, but that is a pretty good game as I am playing it now. Fable will probably be a descent RPG when it is released, so I guess you can look forward to that. Kotor.. Well, marrowind probably sold more. And as someone that owned and played the game all the way through, it hasn't much replay value, just twice through, good and bad. If you like online play, then I would like to say that XBL is awsome. The downside is that you need cable and has a 6.50/month or 50/year (USD) fee. It offers real time voice chat, buddy lists, and content download for some games (like new maps or ingame features), as an additional feature to online play.

If you haven't got a decent PC, Doom3 will be out for xbox, playable at a locked 30fps limit. So if you have anything less then a 9600xt, this could be a way for you to play it without looking bad at slow frames.

ps2 hands down, but they only thing I want on ym ps2 thats on the xbox is the game saves to the hdd. That is a great feature.

Most xbox games are also out on ps2/pc so I can just play them all then, but the controller is quite gud

Well now what have i stumbled into here.
Since you already have a PC, we wont discuss that one......

Being the CraZyGaMeloVer I am, I have not limited myself to just one console opinion cause those so called "Exclusives" are sometimes great games. Although this is definitely extreme in recommendations,
I recommend starting with the PS2 only because it has so many great games and more to chose from than the other consoles. (this one will keep you busy for a while, collecting games)

Then invest in the Xbox as it does have a great many exclusive games that simply must be played if youre an extreme gamer like myself.

Then go for a Gamecube as a 3rd choice cause its ok but very limited as nintendo fell behind on the game production aspect.

PS1, Sega Dreamcast, Atari, and the other consoles from years past are pretty much left in the past but they did have some fun games as well.

Sometimes you can find a good deal on a game in garage sales and by not limiting yourself as a gamer, you can always take advantage of those $5 to $20 used oldies, especially since most new games are rediculously expesive. Not to mention to the ability to play them, regardless of what type console is needed to play them.

I have been playing consoles since they were invented....that's right...b4 atari 2600,"oddessy".

Since 1998, I will only play pc games....not to say I don't play console games at friends or work or whatever....still love all games.

The pc will always be generations ahead of the console market; till microsoft finally, and it looks like their getting close: to making a console compatible with the pc.

They are working on game pads now....actually, their pretty much done.
"That is compatible with both, the x-box and pc."

Microsoft has already released a dev platform (xsn or whatever it was) to the pc market.

Pc players WILL be playing x-box players soon..... I hope in crap games like halo too.....so we can end the mouse v.s analog pad debate.

What this all boils down to, get them all.....if you can, if not......get a pc.

Cause soon ........everything is going to be intergraded into a single console...that can do it all on your television set......but, it will be compatible with your pc.

The x-box is a better system ...hardware wise....and it's so much so....that you should not even think of the ps2.

You should wait for the next consoles to come out though really.

Trust this newz............it'z realllllll! p.s I just saw espn 2004 on ps2.....omg, the swami highlights are still pictures....when the x-box....shows actual ingame footage being played....real highlights of all the td's and whatever. Don't do it....ea and other big games are on the x-box wagon now.....it's only time.......trust me!

I didn't stress too much on the halo topic in my reply......just called it crap.

I still gave the game like a 8.5 or better I think...can't remember. It's on gamespot.com.

First, it's not crap....but it's most certainly whack! The game is stuck in 30fps mode....it was a struggle to go threw this repetitive crap....every friggin level seemed like it rotated in order after 5 different boards. Like they just put new textures over the same level.

Same paths.....and the characters.....how many different were there....3...maybe 4.....come on.....the same stuff over and over.....the pc version....I have an insane pc though...but still....they took no advantage of the pc when they converted this...originally a pc title first.......piece of crap.....the vehicles are pathedic....they look nice....mainly the warthog.

but it's so typical to other pc fps shooters...and does not compare to a lot of them.

Something kept me in the game....to the end....which was like 3 sittings.....but not too many games can have that claim...my interest just sucks now.

anyway, Halo is a great game on the x-box......cause the majority of the console world just aren't use to quality fps games.

What I do believe, is that Halo is THE most over-rated game in history.

I can't think of any else......kotor was very fun....only game in a long while that I played twice......cause I had to...lol, lost save game somehow. But I finished that game in like 12 hours...it's no rpg to me....but it's awesome in it's own right.....and can't wait for kotor2.....if they added a cheesy online mode for kotor.....it would be heaven. Not that I'm an online fan either....atleast not intill GUILDWARS.

I have never spoken this much to anyone....I'm very anti-social and just don't give a !@#$ usually.

later peepz.....no longer will I write......in this column.....np.....your welcome.....lol.
