you guys are so weird, there was a thread like this around 8 months ago and you all said XBOX XBOX XBOX!

 

now your all cheering for the ps2...i told you so.

 

diggity, i wouldnt buy either...it gets in the way of a lot of work, and social events..just download an emulator onto your PC to get rid of that videogame itch...i sold my ps2 and it was the best thing i did, although my friends ones at my house now so i havent had the time to have withdrawls...why am i still talking?.

I think we should all boycott xbox for not supporting american artists. PS2 has mad more many games and that's cause in japan 90% of their printed media is manga. They love artists!

To show our disdain for the state of the xbox game discography I say we all bomb microsoft headquarters!

A multiplatform game will definitely look better on the Gamecube/Xbox than

the PlayStation 2 because the hardware is user-friendly and easier to work

with.

 

Xbox Advantages over PlayStation 2

----------------------------------

 

- Best Online Support

- Best Sound(More Interactive Music in games)

- Comes with a Hard drive and 4 controller ports

- High-Resolution support for Gaming and DVD Movies(HDTV required & kit)

- PC ports(Easy to port a PC game to the Xbox)

- Broadband-Enabled

- Not many Disc Read Error problems.

ps2 Graphics "Synthesizer": 147.456MHz

 

xbox Total Memory: The RAM in the Xbox will be supplied by Micron, it will be 64 MB running at 200MHz DDR (Double-Data-Rate)

In closing, I'd like to say that ps2 got smoked by all the new systems.

It's got the least power. Even the cute little ol' gamecube is more powerful

and can render more complex graphics than the ps2. This is where Sony failed at life.... sorry.

OK granted, the xbox is a greater machine. But it'll be like owning an Apple when you want to use your computer for games. Sure, it has its Ninja Gaiden (the whole reason I bought an xbox) and its Halo, but every other game on there is also available for the ps2. Even though the graphics are better on the xbox doesn't mean shit. Unless you have been playing solely on the xbox for awhile and then you switch over to ps2, you wont notice the difference, and even with playing the xbox and ps2 games one after another, the graphics aren't poor enough to get your panties in a bunch

 

I probably should have started a new paragraph acouple lines ago. The reason why the ps2 isn't the "god of machines" as the xbox is is because it was made before it. Both the Gamecube and xbox were released quite awhile after the ps2.

 

So in closing, the ps2 has more to offer.

I should have pressed edit but anyway,

 

I meant every other worthwhile game is also on ps2.

Yeah graphics are comparable. I have to agree with no subject. Even though xbox has better hardware it's nothing without the software backing as nintendo found out with it's flop gamecube. But nintendo swears up and down it won't place third with it's next system. So watch out! The old warhorse is making a comeback!

I am gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you on that one mmm yeah. My whole thing is like I was playing ps2 earlier today at a friend's house, and the graphics really are terrible. The playstation isn't as good as the other systems because they released early.... instead of putting some more thought and work into making a HIGH quality machine. Don't be mad at the xbox and the gamecube because they are better. Both companies have been into creating games way before Sony was.... Sony is the slut of videogame systems, they'll license any POS game, which to me is rather hookerish. You're entitled to your opinions.

Have to agree with this man.

 

I played Vice City a few months ago for the

hell of it having abandoned my PS2 for the

Gamecube a few months prior... needless

to say I had to keep asking my friends if

it really looked that shitty only a year ago.

I could have swore I was playing GTA3.

 

PS2 is ass out. Get a Gamecube for all the

games you're going to want to play over

and over... get an Xbox if you're a graphics freak.
