I have posted recently about buying a ps2 or xbox but now i stared thinking a little ( yup im hurting myself ). Since i borrowed my friends ps2 before and i only played it maybe 2 times in 3 weeks. So i have serious doubts about buying a ps2. Oh and the games that i played are Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid2 and a Final Fantasy game.

What you guys think should I buy a ps2?

No one can answer that question except yourself.

Btw, GC sucks, X-Box sucks, and so does the PS2. Oh yeah forgot, the PC sucks also.

i think it really depends on what sort of games you play. if you prefer rpg's, i think ps2 is the way to go. plus, you can snag up some cheap games with the current amazon buy 2, get one free deal.

I vote for Xbox. Lots of good games coming in the next two months, and most of the good franchise games (Mortal Kombat, Tony Hawk, Grand Theft Auto, sports games) are not console-specific. And for $50 you get a full year of Xbox Live! sweetness!

Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City ARE console specific, for the ps2 only. They will appear on the pc, but no other consoles.

I like my ps2. May be getting it a gamecube to keep it company for some possible metroid prime and animal crossing

I would get the ps2 because I think it has a better selection of games than the XBox right now. I have a PS2 and I like it alot. Just stay away from GC. I bought one a while ago and ended up giving it up to my little cousin because them games were to kiddish for me:(

yeah, the first crop of games did seem a bit kiddish, but the second crop do feature some pretty deep and dramatic titles. Resident Evil being one of them :)

ohh... and i still watch that metroid prime commercial over and over again~!

Ok how much of that Metroid ad is actual gameplay vs. CGI-movie crap?

All the shots with the first-person view and watching the morph ball move around are gameplay footage.

I'm not crazy about any consoles out there nor there games. Love my PC... :D
However, I do have a PS2. Bought one 4 months ago because I'm a Tekken freak. Tekken Tag anyone? :D

And HALO, segaGT are xbox only. Every console has some of their own exclusive games. That's how the game is played. I do appreciate the fact that more and more games are coming out for all 3 consoles though. :)

Neither console will disappoint you. I would look at the games you want to play and go from there. I saw an ad for Xbox live playing at the Xbox console in CompUSA and I am looking forward to it in November. Unreal Championship will be crazy.

I have an Xbox and I recommend it. Don't base your decision on game reviews an Gamespot, they are quite biased. Even mediocore games on the PS2 get above 70 while if they were on the Xbox they would get low 60s or GC they would get in the upper 60s.
