Stare At The Sun

^ thats why you use a switch and some cat5 cable, and use SYSTEM LINK and play on different tv's. PS2 has like 2 games that use system link, XBOX has a lot lot more, just off the top of my head HALO, mechassult, ghost recon, return to wolf, unreal, all the tony hawks, clone wars, brute force, midnight club 2, midtown madness 3, nfl fever, time splitters 2, SOF2, and i know there are more....Seriously, xbox is quite functional in its multiplayer abilites.

Im suprised noone has mentioned the 4 controler to 2 controller thing. Fuck buying a multi-tap.

Also, i don't know about you guys, but when i get 7 friends together, we can play for upwards of 6 hours of halo, straight, and i dont see you playing any ps2 game w/ friends for 6 hours straight.

Also, the Controller S is a pretty good controller, i think for halo, its better than the ps2 controller would be.

I have a PS2, but honestly, i havent touched it for over 6 months, and the next game im looking forward to, is MGS3, and GT4, other than that, they aint got shit. RPG wise, xbox is really moving up, fable, is going to be a godly game.

Jedi academy, the sonic game, COUNTERSTRIKE () and Halo 2, soul calibur 2, ninja gaiden, Starcraft ghost, rainbow 6 (3), and freedom fighters, are all games that are going to rule.

Overall, in the long run, long long run, i see sony/M$ outlasting the big N, but i dont think M$ is getting out anytime soon, and the quality games are coming, and a lot are already here.

I own both and have to say I like X-box better. It gets more play time along with my gamecube. Hardware wise X-box kills the PS2. The PS2 can do some amazing effects but it's usually at the cost of gameplay. As for game libraries all three consoles have a lot of shovelware, PS2 having the most. I can't believe how many crappy games there are out for the system.

Old thread, but have to add:

Fuck split screen.... Go XBconnect (can't be bothered to link it, search) and you can do full screen Halo multiplayer over your Bb connex. Any game you can link you can play over the web! Oh yeah and its free! (Though don't yet know if the software has some other purpose).

PS2 is ok for some titles but as a game machine it lacks:

Graphics - Not GF3 comparable
Sound - Sorry, but I have yet to hear DTS quality
Price - For an old (in console terms) system its still expensive.
DVD - Still skips
WAN - Not yet, titles don't really cut it!

Wins:
Games - But losing ground rapidly

I have owned a ps2 for a long time, and just recently bought an xbox. I have to say I was an xbox hater for along time, but I can't put down Knights of the old republic, Halo and Mechassault.

I even really liked the clunky controller, that I figured i would hate.

muckluck

I jus bought both.

I've played all 3 systems, my roomate own's a PS2. I own both the Xbox and the GCN. Gamecube for the excellent first party titles.
Xbox for:
Games (more my type, and getting better all the time)
Harddrive
Xbox Live!
Graphics
Sound

PS2 has some great games sure, but I only consider a handful them to be truly steller. I think the PS2 has reached it's pinnicle, the hardware is definatly beginning to show its age. A major reason the PS2 has such a large library is the large lead time it had on the market.
Xbox is just now starting to hit it's stride, many of the games that are slated to be released in the next year are shaping up to be really great.

So IMO

PS2 has had it's time on top, but its running out of steam
Xbox is only going to get better over the next couple of years

BigGov

Right now, there's only one thing that the PS2 still has that the Xbox hasn't caught up to, or exceeded.

PS2 Exclusives.

And it's a very short list now. This is just games like the GTA's, Gran Turismo, and other Sony developed games.

But for every GTA and such, there's an equally good game on the Xbox.

Sony needs to get that PS3 out soon or they're going to be screwed big time.

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

I can relate to some of the views here, but when people say that XBox is better simply because it has Halo and better graphics it gets a bit annoying. That's like saying PS2 is better because it as Final Fantasy and it's not as heavy. Console arguments are pointless. All three consoles out right now are great consoles. If you don't like one of them, it's because you played a handful of shitty games for it. Read the reviews before you buy a game and you'll enjoy every game you play on each system.

I own all three systems and enjoy all three systems. I play the PS2 more than the other two simply because I have more games for it. That doesn't make the other two consoles "suck." It simply states that I've played my PS2 more.

And in conclusion, a system doesn't "suck" simply because you don't have it, or didn't buy it and got another one instead. Accept the fact that there has been dozens of incredible games on each system, and just because you didn't play them doesn't make it all "suck." Like I said before, if you play a bunch of shitty games on a system, then you'll think the system sucks. In other words, read the damn reviews. I only play games that get an 8.5 or higher from Electronic Gaming Monthly and that has led me to enjoy every console I've ever owned.

Holy crap, someone making SENSE.

But sorry, you just talked over all the fanboy's heads...

I think this is like asking, "Who gives better head, blondes or brunettes?" Well, everyone has their experiences and preferences, and it's up to that person to ultimately "play" each type -- err, brand.

Anyway, I agree with you. I think it's pointless to focus on one system anymore...They all have worthwhile titles. Period. End of discussion.

Hmmmm thats a tough one, i need to go do some more research on that. And you cant count out redheads. they are fun.

But ya, each console has its ups and downs, it doesnt matter.

I have both PS2 and XBox, I have played them both equally and at first I liked the PS2 a lot better. Now I am leaning towards the XBox.
