XBOX or PS2 Which one? I want mostly for Emulation

My wife is buying me a PS2 or XBOX for our anniversary, but I don't know which one I want one or the other mostly for emulating other systems ex. NES SNES MAME SEGA etc etc etc.

which is better for emulation?
 
WTF are you buying a next gen console for if you're going to EMULATE?

Freak.

In any case, Dreamcast is so far the best out-of-the-box emulator. Xbox needs to be hax0red in order to emulate AFAIK.
PS2 can't do it at all.

I'd say your PC is the best bet.
 
*scratches his head*

You must know that the Xbox is more powerful all-around for the same price as the PS2. Why even bother asking the question? 😛
 
actually thats not true PS2 can emulate. Several systems are emulated for it search google if your curious!

You brought it up...now where is the link??
 
Xbox has perfect(to me) emulation of SNES. The dreamcast snes emulator is too dog slow.

There's also a ps1 emulator for the xbox which is compatible with many games.

Then there's the NES, Mame, amiga, sega genesis/cd32, daphne, etc emulators that pretty good too. The N64 and gba ones are so so right now.
 
Oh, and the media player for XBox can play divx, xvid, vcd, svcd, mp3, pictures perfectly. You can even stream those media from your pc to the xbox through the network.
