they both -cost the same ($200)
-have thier own sets of good games
-have modchips to play free backups
-are made by top companies
but, the Xbox has superior hardware because it was released after the ps2 meaning it has and will continue to have graphically superior games compared to the playstation 2. its just a law of nature, you cant argue against it. if u ask me, its a shame its still competing with the ps2 but it is only reasonable because its only a year old and isnt as popular as the almost 3yr old ps2. it was MS's mistake entering the console wars so late with thier system but they've compenated by matching the price to ps2.
not to mention that the modchips are cheaper for the xbox...
lets see, what would i rather get... an xbox or ps2... hmm
Let the truth be told!

Although, the ps2 has pretty nice features like ps1 compatibility, very cheap modchips(in fact you don't need a chip to boot copy games just a little swap trick) and ps2 has a large collection of games.
so there you go.

A) Better graphics
Ethernet hookup (we can play on the net for a while now)C) Hard drive (I haven't spent squat on any memory cards)
D) DivX;) player (very nice to have)
E) a nice resemblance to the late DC - nice and programmable the way we like it.
The games on the xbox are better, even tho ps2 has a few good games. I hate/detest/abhor the ps2 controllers too.

| Ditto but for the Xbox controllers, whomever decided where the buttons went had to be an idiot. I prefer using the 3rd part MadCatz controller that has the button layout like the PS2. How can you dislike the best controller ever designed? :P |
If you have small hands yes... The xbox controller is just the right size, and is the most natural feeling for my hands...
The PS2 controller is way to small and not playable for me, if you don't have small hands...
Maybe it's because i'm older or maybe you are small anyway, a lot of "younger" ppl like the PS2 controllers more, but i still think it's because of their hand-size...
Just use whatever fits you best :D

Also, the biggest price point of the xbox is that they have bottomless pockets, whereas Sony doesn't. When has M$ ever backed down from a market? If the DOJ was closing them down, or splitting them up, you can bet your arse I wouldn't have bought one. But jeez, just look at it. They're SELLING THESE THINGS AT A LOSS! They're gonna eat up market share just like the Iexplore vs netsc@pe battles. While it's not free, it sure is alluring to buy a system from a company that will spend years before it gets any returns on games. (ie, Dreamcast)

| Xbox and Game Cube are gonna have incredible sales increases this holiday season. They are the "newer" systems and the parents will go wild |
ya if u think about it majority of population in US already own a PS2 so kids are gonna ask for either XBOX or GAMECUBE this holiday season. but anybody who asks me "WHAT SYSTEM SHOULD I GET" i'd give em the BEST and SIMPLE answer of........ XBOX!!
Post by: pCeSlAyEr on June 22, 2002, 03:00:00 AM
but as for ps2's 2 year lead over the xbox and only having a dozen games worth playing........ how horrid can u get??
xbox is replacing the DC, a system also far superior to Sony's hype machine....... and the fact I have 30+ games on my xbox HD and never had to buy a mem card and it still says I have 50,000+ blocks free... yea...
and look at the beauty and play of the first gen games on xbox.... it can only get better from here on....
I do like the Ps's dual shock over the xbox controller(the original one not ps2's analog crap)...... the placement of the buttons on the xbox controller are oddly placed(the A button, blk and wht buttons are in awkward positions) I have 8 1/2 inch hands.... u try an tell me my hands are small....
thats my half a penny....

Id hate to see one company dominate the console market but I wouldnt be suprised if its the same outcome with PS3.

If you take into account homebrew applications such as emulators, media players, and menu-driven dashboards to run ALL software directly from the hard drive, a modded Xbox EASILY beats a modded PS2 hands-down.
Being able to play any game from a complete collection of Commodore 64, NES, TG16, SNES, Sega Genesis, GBA, and MAME arcade games straight from the HD is a blast. PS1 emulation also adds in a decent library of old games, although I really prefer stuff from the 16-bit era over most of what the PS1 could offer.
The ability to store Xbox games on the HD is likewise a huge convenience advantage.

The amiga is better them any console can ever be
I have modded hundreds of psx consoles and i have seen lots of ps2 games and when i saw the xbox games the ps2 can not come anywhere near the xbox.
I will tell you now that after 25 years of playing games that there are not many games that i would waste my time on
I am playing warcraft 3 now and it is piss easy
I want to mod my xbox,not for the games but to be able to play MP3's,DIVX
music video's ETC
As i have played games on must platforms i must say that the amiga can not be betterest yet!
If you ask what is an AMIGA then hell you must be young!

| The PS2 is 1-2 years old so I dont think you realy can compare it with the Xbox. Everybody says that "PS2 has more games", in 2 years will/should xbox have as much games as the PS2, I hope! |
xbox will never have the same # of games as ps2 unless sony goes bankrupt. ps2 is producing too many games for xbox to catch up to it. the only thing i can predict is xbox will release same # of games within a year
