Help.

I like the PS2 game support, but like the XBOX hard drive and no need for memory cards.

I like the PS2 controller, but i like the XBOX controllers too.

I like the DVD feature for PS2, but going to buy a DVD player for my room anyhow.


I really dont know where to go with this. Either way, im want to trade one away when i do decide to get more stuff for the system i keep.

At this point I slightly prefer PS2.

But if I had both I'd keep both.

I don't know what the games library will look like in a year...but right now I prefer the PS2.

Keep the Xbox. Get live and some games it supports and you will never look back.

No poll ?

It depends on which has the most YOU like. If i had both I would keep the xbox and ditch the ps2. Yes the ps2 is good but theres more I like on xbox. You or someone else may have a different opinion though.

XBL Starter Kit is $50, and INCLUDES 12 months of service.

Final pricing for XBL for the first year hasn't been announced yet, but most folks are expecting it to be $50 per year, which works out to $4.16 a month.

I'd keep the ps2, but that's just me. I don't play my Xbox ... had it for 4 or so months and it does nothing but collect dust. My Cube is getting a lot of play time, and the ps2 is as well.

You have to just sit down and take a good look at the lists of games out on each, and what games will be coming out for each and decide for yourself.

If you have DSL, and you mom wants to use AOL, and you DON'T need the ability to dial-in via regular dial-up modem EVER, then have AOL switch you to a BYOC connection. That's only $10 a month and you still get access to all the features of AOL...the only thing is that you have to have the actual physical connection via ANOTHER provider.

Have done this for MANY of my clients who switched to broadband, but who liked AOL and wanted to continue to use it.
