Damn. I was hoping it was going to be some other kind of "toy". :D
 
PS@ vs. Xbox

I have the playstation 2. I dont get much use out of it, but there is a huge selection of games.

My friend is a videogame junky and he owns both systems. He spends most of his time on the Xbox now because of the new featurewhere you can play games against anyone in the world via an internet connection of sorts. It's interesting, he wears this ear piece and microphone and communicates with people on his team, etc.

xbox all the way, pump it.

better graphics, better support for home theater setup, almost all games are released multiplatform and the xbox ends up with the pretty game.

ps2 exclusive these days means you just have to wait four-six months for a better-looking game with additional content.

pump it, ps2 cant touch xbox.

Cheers,

I would go for Xbox...

eventually all games will be on both systems I believe, ie GTA/Vice City...

Xbox has more power and is faster and has all the available memory one could wish for whereas you gotta shell out the dough for memory cards

however PS2 comes with the DVD playback enabled, whereas you have to buy the DVD kit for Xbox....

so thats the reason I went for xbox and its just as good if not better

Microsoft and Bill Gates has said they will match the launch date of the PS3, if it turns out to be earlier than the xbox2 launchdate.

Personally, I think both systems are late 2005 or early 2006.. as haven't seen any dev kits around the office and I've received only a few white papers on the "cell" technology.

Well u said for the family so i would go with the PS2 if you have younger kids. As far X box goes i own one at is a glorified pc, but you can install mandrake linux on it :)
PS2 has more variety of games and is just better next revision should be late 2004 or early 2005. Xbox the same the new one will kick some serious ass but not out till late 2004 but since it is Microsoft it may be late 2008.
Buy the PS 2.
i own xbox ps2 and game cube.
Game cube kicks ass also.

I vote xbox because:

o I prefer the graphics
o a much better machine to mod IMHO. Get out the soldering iron!

IMO X Box all the way, faster processer means better graphics sound and better games, yes the PS2 has more games but do not forget it was released earlier, and just take a look at a comparison between GTA3 on the PS2 and the X Box, there is no comparison in terms of sharpeness of graphics. If ya like shooters Halo is the one, car racing well Project Gotham 2 is just astounding, sports games well just try to find anything better than the ESPN lineup this season, role playing-Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic like was mentioned here before has a better storyline than alot of movies being released today, oh and all the games I have mentioned are X Box exclusives.

i've heard that but no one here has received them.

i'm on a private industry forum and no one on there has commented on having the dev kits either but "knows someone who does..honest"

I have both a PS2 & an Xbox.

Maybe this'll show you a good comparison.

Xbox- rented many games, own 3.

PS2- rented many games, own 30.

I always try before I buy, and buy when it's a good game.

Give you an idea which system I'm happier with?

BTW, no mods required, have spent about the same amount on each 'system' purchase.

What does the mod chip do?
Hmmm... it is easier to say what it doesn't do! You can install a larger hard drive and run all your games off of it (including *cough* backing up your games to the hard drive). You can run custom dashboards, including different media players (that support progressive on DVD output... XBOX disabled this). You can also install emulators for Nintendo, etc. and run those games on your xbox. In a nutshell, it turns a good toy into an amazing one...

Here is a good place to start:

FWIW

X-box seems to have better graphics.
PS has more games.

I am very pissed at Microshaft for buying Bungie and screwing us Mac types out of Halo. Ratbastards made it a X-box only game for the past several years. It was due to be out on the Mac in 1999 or 2000, but it is just being released for the Mac now.
Shouldn't you be pissed off at Bungie for being sell-outs? ;)
