I know this has been asked a million times but it would help. I just sold my gamecube (cause the games suck) and am going to buy either an x box or ps2. Which do you think I should get. And please state at least one reason why your choice is better. This would help greatly.

BTW, on e-bay, i'm selling a gamecube, two wavebird controllers, Mario Kart double dash, and Luigi's mansion all for 150 dollars. Do you think that's a good price?

do you have a high speed connection? and not that bullshit dial up at dsl speed crap either, i mean the real thing

I have comcast. Why?

kinda depends. ps2 has the better single player games (for the most part) and x-box has better multiplayer games. both systems are coming out with a great line this year. personally, i'd go with x-box. te price just dropped down again, theres x-box live, and HALO 2 to be anticipating.

as for the price, you hit just about dead on. you might be able to get 10 or 20 bucks more, but i wouldnt count on it.

get a xbox with an xbox live subscription. then get these three games. metal slug 3, splinter cell pandora tomorrow, and ,rainbow six three. and it has a wicked good 2004 lineup (jade empire, sudeki, halo 2, fable, mechassut 2, splinter cell three, hlaf life two, doom three, true fantasy online, conker 2, etc.) im telling you, its the way to go

Personally, I hate online console video games (unnatural for me, and too much of a pain) so I stick to single-player. Thus, the PS2 is right for me. While the Xbox has it's share of good games, the PS2 has it's own.

Is conker 2 a follow-up to N64s Conkers Bad Furday?

oh yeah. watch the trailer here http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/490/490304/vids_1.html

I have a ps2, but it is currently broken and for sale if anyone wants it. I think XBOXs are a little more durable. The major plus about the XBOX is that it's totally modifiable. You can do just about anything with it. I know a guy who has every game ever made for NES plus a bunch of movies AND he has burned games he rented so he doesn't have to buy them.
But I think overal the XBOX is more expensive because of the DVD capability (add-on req.) and online play (xbox live req.)
XBOX overall....

PS2 is much better for online and more reliable. I hate X-Box and microsoft all together

Fable's been coming out for around two and a half years now....

TFO got cancelled, if I recall correctly

I really, really, really, think that if you want to play those games, you should stick to a computer, SC:PT is more fun, Halo 2 is limited by what the Xbox can do anymore, and Doom and Half Life are going to be depressing on the box, because the box is running an overclocked GeForce three and will be running a game designed with the X800 and 6800 in mind.

^^^^^

What we have here is pure genious.

Graphically speaking, Xbox has got the goods...but PS2 does have some cool stuff...So if graphics dont mean a lot and you've got a good enough computer to get cool games like Halo 2 and Half-Life 2, PS2 is probably a good choice, seeing as most Xbox games are on PC.

you just showed your ignorance all together there. now i must say since iown all three systems + computer. im not biased at all, but besides socom PS2 has nothing online going for it. and xbox live pwns hardcore :D

PS2 has got library over XBox. Some of the stuff on XBox is cool, but I've played them just about as much as I'm gonna at my friends houses. The controller is like holding a potato. The DualShock2 is the best controller ever.

But really its a Coke vs. Pepsi thing, some are gonna like one, some the other. I LOVE racing games that are sim based so it's all about PS2 (Project Gotham Racing is too arcade-y). The online racing is WAY better on that game however, but I'm holding out hope that GT4 will have good online play. pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

Find the games you like and buy that system. The fact that XBox Live won't let systems with Game Sharks and other hotrodder crap log on is a big plus. Nothing sucks the wind out of a good SOCOM game like some 13 year old jackass with a GameShark running around invisible, invincible and killing everything.

hello? controller s?

hello? controller s?
a small potato (if you're talking about the smaller controller. If not, I have no idea what you're talking about.)

yeah the small one. ill show you

controller f: fatty
controller s: small :D

There's no comparison. PS2 has the better selection of games by far.

Well Xbox just plain sucks because everything on it is limited by they size and shape os the crappy controllers . Also almost everygame on Xbox can be played online with a faster speed. PS2 is by far better and it has a better game pool too.

I voted PS2. It's much better.

While it is true that PS2 has more games, Xbox is a better system. Simply based on hardware the XBox is better and cheaper.

XBox has a built in hard drive to save and play games. It also has a built in ethernet port for online gaming. If you play multi-player games the Xbox has 4 controller ports while the PS2 only has two.

PS2
Have to buy memory cards at $25.00, network adaptor at $40.00 and the hard drive can only be purchased with Final Fantasy XI for $100.00. The system only has two controller ports so if you wanted four that is an additional $20.00 for a multi-tap.

I think i'm going to get a ps2. By the way, if any of you are on ebay, look for a gamecube w/ 2 wavebird controllers and Mario Kart double dash and Luigi's mansion all for 150 dollars. If your interested, my e-bay account name is Schnoop123.
