Ok. First, i was going to take my holiday money and buy myself a nice dvd player, for about $150 or so. Then, i started thinking about the PS2 and Xbox. They both offer dvd playback, plus gaming. There are lost of games for the PS2 i want, like GTA3, GT3, Madden 2002, etc. But, the xbox looks more attractive in the long run. What im saying, is will i be pissed a year from now if i get a ps2? The only game for xbox i want right now is halo, but later on i think its graphix potential is higher than ps2. So . . .

How is dvd playback on PS2 and Xbox? IS it comparable to a separate dvd player? Should i get a plain dvd, or a ps2 for the games i like, or an xbox so i will have a more long term solution? Help me . . .



A VERY confused Butch

Yeah, since i already pretty much put my sould and paycheck into my pc, maybe i should get a kick @$$ monitor for it, a flatscreen in the 19" range. Can anybody recommend one, or answer my first question??

The XBox has better dvd playback quality than the PS2 and it doesn't have many of the software poblems that the PS2 has. For instance, the PS2 has problems playing many movies.

The XBox can also be used as an MP3 player for your home theater. Just Rip the songs from a retail cd or a CD-RW, and you have 8 gigs of space to store them in.

Oh, and that other minor detail of the Xbox playing games is also good.
