EyeforAnEYE Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I got Xbox, and yeah there aren't too many games, but you don't need to buy memory cards, graphics in my opinion are better and becuase of HALO and soon to come HALO2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Dazzle Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 PS2....more games, better games, plus it will be around while the others fade in to video game nostalgia..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diggity Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 ps2 seems to be easier to mod too, since you can get a swapcard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 xbox's graphics hardware renders higher quality graphics than what the ps2 is capable of. XBOXBOXBOXBOXBOX And you can use www.xboconnect.com to play online without paying any fees. Make the right decision, I know you will.

villain Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 You really can't beat xbox with a stick. I mean that, the GPU has DUAL PIXEL SHADERS... which means this: http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/hottestninjagaiden_022004_005.jpg'> http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/hottestninjagaiden_022004_002.jpg'> http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/ninjagaiden_e_022504_004.jpg'> and this: http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/ninjagaiden_TGS_092703_06.jpg'> http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/ninja_e21.jpg'> http://jon.jbagroup.net/pix/ps2wooped.jpg'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 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. xbox CPU: 733 MHz chip crafted by Intel ps2 CPU: 294.913 MHz (like that .913 really helps haha) xbox Graphics Processor: 250MHz custom chip named XGPU, developed by Microsoft and nVIDIA 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) ps2 Total Memory: 32 MB 800MHz (that's nice, but not nice enough) xbox Memory Bandwidth: 6.4 GB/sec ps2 Memory Bandwidth: 3.2 GB/sec xbox Polygon Performance: 125 M/sec ps2 Polygon Performance: 75 M/sec xbox Simultaneous Textures: 4 ps2 Simultaneous Textures: 2 xbox Pixel Fill Rate - No Texture: 4.0 G/Sec (anti-aliased) ps2 Pixel Fill Rate - No Texture: 2.4 G/Sec (anti-aliased) xbox Compressed Textures: Yes (6:1) xbox Full Scene Anti-Alias: Yes xbox Micro Polygon Support: Yes xbox Storage Medium: 2-5x DVD, 10GB hard disk, 8MB memory card xbox I/0: 2-5x DVD, 10GB hard disk, 8MB memory card xbox Audio Channels:64 (up to 256 stereo voices) ps2 Audio Channels:48 xbox 3D Audio Support: Yes xbox MIDI DLS2 Support: Yes xbox AC3 Encoded Game Audio: Yes ps2 AC3 Encoded Game Audio: Yes xbox Broadband Enabled: Yes ps2 Broadband Enabled: No xbox Controller Ports: 4 USB Ports ps2 Controller Ports: 2 (doh!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Fondles Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 i was gonna diss xbox at first, but now i looked over and seen that my ps2 is broken and taken apart for the moment, and the xbox next to it is beckoning me like crack to a crackhead. mmmm doa2....soulcaliber 2....mmGOTTAGOBYE.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no subject) Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villain Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 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.

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.
