DRIFT4EVA, I would mock you, but frankly, from the crap you've said, you have damaged your self enough.

Being an owner of both machines, I'll put it like this, my ps2 is gathering dust until gt4, with games like full spectrum warrior and riddick, the ps2 seems abit...dull and old hat. Theres just nothing coming out for the ps2 anymore thats worth bothering with, and hell, the new GTA will be on the pc and xbox, but better. Harsh but true guys. Must games now are multi format, and i ALLWAYS with out fail get the xbox one as it's better. I may be called a fan boy for not kissing ps2 ass like alot of members here seem too, but my loyalty lies with neither, I just like the one that seems better, and atm, my xbox is kicking the ps2s ass in terms of quality games. I still like my ps2, but *looks at full spectrum warrior*, nerrr you see. Heck, even my dc is getting more play time then my ps2. tbh I think of some of you actually bothered to go out and buy an xbox with it's best games (get your mates to buy xboxes, get 4 copies of halo, 16 people, 4 tvs, a hub and some pc lan cables, and prepare to spend the next 8 hours having a blast), you may see that the ps2s games line up isnt as uber as you first thought, both have ace games.

I'm now awaiting the telling off, and getting called a fanboy...

"XBox is teh sux. PS2 All the way. PS2 has the ability to create a hell of alot, from something small."

comedy, the ablilty to create alot from something small? That doesnt even make sense for a console.
 
Maybe they also forgot to add Rich - A** Rappers and celebs who tend to buy 5 xboxs for their home and some for when they go on, flights, tours etc.

Honestly, no matter how much XBOB, I mean XBOX 'cough cough' sells, it still wont be as good as Playstation 2.
 
Zee thats in your opinion, and frankly I think it hardly counts as you obviously have no idea, the fact that people buy multiple machines is a testement to the machines fantastic networking. It's cheap, using only normal pc lan cables, easy, and supported by MANY games, there isn't ANYTHING on any console that can match 16 player halo.

Couldnt have said it better myself. 👍
 
Nice if you have both :rolleyes:

My ps2 isnt gathering dust. jak2, gt3, burnout2, timesplitters2, zone of the enders 2 still keep me occupied.
 
We all have our opinions on whats better or not.

Code you did not mention any games for Xbox you are looking forward to but you are not liking whats coming out for PS2. Forza is the only Xbox game I may buy. For PS2 Killzone and GT4 are the only 2 games due this year I'm going to buy. Thats 2 to 1 :). Any multi platformer that has online(not on PC) play will be for PS2 if i decide to buy it(Burnout 3). It's nothing to do with the systems, just the games.

My PS2 is my DVD player so its being used for movies more than games(loven my new Blockbuster card). I have to be in favor more for PS2 for that reason alone. With the new PC coming next week both systems will be collecting dust once I install all my games on it and find a cheap 9800 Xt or pro. :dopey:

Code? You have no interest in Front Mission 4??
 
Can you give osme examples of games that are so much better on Xbox compared to PS2 rivals.
Please don't use PGR2 and Halo.
 
2 in fact:
Ninja Gaiden is a very good game, and also there is Dead or Alive 3.
 
"Please don't use PGR2 and Halo."

Why not? Then I could say "please don't use GT" :P

Ok, games that are out that own on the xbox (these are just off the top of my head) -

DOA3
Halo
PGR2
RSC2
Knights of the old republic
Panzer orta
Ninja gaiden
toca RD2
Chronilces of riddick
Full spectrum warrior
Jet set future
Steel battalion
Top Spin
Moto GP2
Crimson skys
Theif 3

Multiformat but better on xbox

Time splitters 2
Burn out 2
Soul cal 2
Tony hawks underground
Splinter cell games (both)
Rainbow 6 3
Prince of persia (sands of time)
GTA vice city + 3


Coming out

Fable
Doom 3
Half life 2
Halo 2 (enough said i think)
forza
Burn out 3 (lets be honest, we all know which version is gonna be the best)
KOTOR 2
POP2
DOA4 and ultimate
time splitters 3

Not a bad list I think for a "sucky" console :P I'm sure there's more, but not being a human database I couldn't name em all :)

OFC there are good games coming out on the ps2...but compared to halo 2 and fable, they look abit sucky, apart from GT4 ofc which will be fricking awesome. Killzone actually looks tasty too tbh and Front mission 4 doesn't look like anything special tbh (even though I like stompy robots). PS2 dvd play back...oh dear, it may be free but UGH, I'll stick with my pc for dvd playing thank you :).
But seriously, I could do a list of games worth owning for the ps2 (such as ico, devil may cry, wrc games, ff, etc etc), but no point, I'm sure you all ready know em :)

I hope this helps some people realise that the xbox is actually a really good machine, and that it shouldn't be wrote off with the common misconception among ps2 owners that it's lacking good games.
 
Give me a PC anyday! I only have my PS2 for GT and GTA series other wise I dont like consoles much.
 
Nice skyline :).

Code not everyone has the same taste in games, this is were someone may say there isn't enough for them. I was like that for along time untill I decided to get an XB a year ago for PGR2 and Sega GT2002(ugh). Ninja Gaiden and KOTOR dont apeal to me, its not the games but the game type. Doesn't matter what system its on. Ninja Gaiden may be the greatest action game of all time but I cant think of one game that "was" the greatest before it. I have a game pass from BB and haven't even looked to see if they even carry the game. Sony has game thats "suppose" to be the next great action game(God of War) but my interest in it is slim to none.

Doom 3 and Half-Life 2. My new PC should be able to handle them and Far Cry(:)).
 
Lets not sales be the judge of how good stuff is now, lets remember that crap stuff sells well too. Kia probs sell more cars then ferrari, doesn't make em better.
 
ugh I'm not a ps2 hater, I own a ps2 and enjoy it alot! The 5200 is a piece of crap, a good card to get is a radeon 9800 pro, they are pretty cheap now (£140), and are about a million times better then a 5200 :). The 5200 is card that's good at nothing, it's slower then many cards 3 times it's age.

Nice skyline :).

If you refering to my car, then Thanxs

Specs for Doom 3

Minimum:
CPU: 800 MHZ - 1 GHZ
GeForce 3 TI/ATi 9600 Pro
RAM: 256 MB RAM

Standard:
CPU: 1,7GHZ-2GHZ
GeForce 4 TI 4400/4600/ATi 9700/Pro
RAM: 512 MB RAM

Optimal:
CPU: 2.5 GHZ - 2.8 GHZ
GeForce 5800FX/5900FX/ATi 9800 Pro
RAM: 786-1024 MB RAM

That's not to mention the Hard Drive space, and I wouldn't be surprised if it needed a MINIMUM of 2.5 gig.

Not everybody has those specs.
 
PS2 is way better. :)
The XBOX games suck the controller is f*ucking huge it weight like 5 punds :crazy: .
You have to pay to play ONLINE. :ouch:

Citing NPD numbers, Microsoft declares its console had a 51-percent market share in April 2004. as a result of its $149 price drop, the Xbox had begun to outsell the PlayStation 2 in the US

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So they drop the price by $149 and gain additional market share, :dopey: I wonder why?

There's a saying here in the UK, not sure whether it will translate into *American* very well.... "Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics"

Sorry, but the idea of a company stroking themselves for claiming victory AFTER chopping a whopping amount from their prices is just plain lame.

Qt/Ql = M$
[Quantity over Quality = Micro$oft.

Yeah I play games on my PC far more often than either my Xbox or PS2, hell only game I've played on the Xbox lately is RalliSport 2, PS2 would probably be Driver 3...

Welcome to the forum, but...

Theres the Xbox S controllers, which aren't much bigger than the PS2s & I now infact like them better than the PS2 controllers.

Paying for online, yeah it sucks but you have to pay for the Sony Network adapter for PS2 unlike the Xbox.

Green was a limited edition, much like some of the awful coloured PS2 editions (Xbox is huge though).
:)

It not that bad. I cant stand the controller S. It hurts my hands after about 5 mins or so of playing. The regular controller is just right for me and I dont have big hands either.

So what? You gotta do the same thing with MMORPG's.

Welcome to GTplanet. Try to post more thoughtfully in the future.
 
I find it quite funny. :lol: Anyways the only reason for the xbox increase in sales is cause everyone already has a ps2 and they want better graphics. It makes sense too. I just don't have the money right now to go and buy a box. Plus it has microsoft on it :yuck:
