Never owned a game machine before, which of the above is my best bet?
Does it depend what sort of games I like (only really played games on PC) or are there other things I should consider? Thanks |
Mainly down to the type of games you like to play.
you can mod the Xbox pretty easily so it can do a whole host of extra things (do a search on here cause it's been discussed before). Both consoles have their own killer games. |
Getting an xbox for chrimbo.
For me the choice was down to PS2 - use old PS1 games vs XBox - Mod and use as MP3/DivX player. I expect to use the Xbox for more non-gaming things than games. Deano |
oi jon do some work u overpaid underworked contractor :p
oh and dont listen to matt or deano ;) PS2 all the way :D |
Hold "old" is the PS2 now? 3..4 years?
|
And just what has the age got todo with it... !
|

|

|

Quote-- plus all the better games are going to go on the xbox.--
here we go,striaght ports over from 6month old PS2 games :D:D :rofl: GT4 Anyone;) |
Metal Gear Solid - Snake Eater anybody :D

The next 6-8 months will see some big titles out for Xbox
Halflife 2 ?? Halo 2 Doom to name but three, there have just been a raft of good games in the run up to chrimbo and with Live games getting better all the time (ps2 network play ??? Beta STILL) I think it's just a matter of time before the main player in the UK will be Xbox. Don't get me wrong I own all three of this generation's consoles and there are games on all machines that are stand out must have's. But the Xbox will win in the end :D Better Res, Killer games in the next 6 months , Live geting better and better and chipp it and it's Fantastic. Craig. |
Xbox wont get either Gran Turismo 4 or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas next year.
PS2 is worth buying for those games alone :) |
xbox already has grand theft auto vice city! so why not others:confused:
|
Dunno, something I read on Saturday.
|
The next 6-8 months will see some big titles out for Xbox Halflife 2 ?? Halo 2 Doom |
What about manx TT, I was gonna buy a ps2 just for this game, but is it going to be available on Xbox?
|
Word on the grapevine is Doom3 won't be able to run on the PS2, but the XBox will manage it.
|
San Andreas will be exclusive to PS2 at first. Due Q4 2004.
|
I would buy an Xbox as well as my PS2 if they were smaller - they are SO big it wouldnt fit in with my other bits under the TV.
|
Biggest gripe with xbox over ps2 is it's uncomfortable controllers. Gives me cramp v quickly.
Is probably cos I've got mutant hands though :D Having had both, and given the choice again, I wouldn't buy a ps2 over an xbox. |
if u mod it u can use any usb controller ;)
|
IMHO the xbox controllers are much better than the PS2 ones, fit my hands much better than those tiny cramped PS2 things.
|
Same here, and there are loads of Xbox controllers now including smaller ones.
|
I prefer to use the smaller X-Box controller any day. But I have adaptors to use the PS2 pads for my mates too :rolleyes:
|
i actually quite like the big xbox pads as they fit nicely and fill ya hands (something to grab hold of) wheras the ps2 pads make my hands cramp up
|
Another fan of the original "big" xbox controllers here :D
|
I prefer the controller on the PS2. The choice of games for my personal taste is better too :D For Jon I would advise PS2 for games like GT3 & when it arrives GT4 so that he won't have to leave his comfy armchair to do a trackday :D:D:D
Paul :) |
yeah i like the ps2 controllers.
jon mite even find a nice fast skoda in GT4 next yr :o :p |
got all 3 consoles
get the xbox its streets ahead |
