PS2 and X-Box, excessive? |
|
Thinking about getting an X-Box for myself for christmas. I already have a PS2 but I've read really good things about the X-Box and it has Project Gotham Racing 2 which looks awesome.
X-box owners, any thoughts?

2. I'd wait for GT4, if PGR2 plays anything like PGR1 |
|
You'll hate it, trust me.
Super arcady, no customization outside of color and auto/man trans.

4. Here's an idea, rent an xbox for the weekend |
|
I'll bet out some fish and chips you won't like PGR2.
It's all flash.

I'll do that and report back.
BTW, McLaren looking very strong in early tests. MP4/19 is quick out the box.

6. Not surprising, did I hear right that Montoya is going there? |
|
Probably to replace Coulthard?

7. I can sum it up in 10 characters: |
|
Halo & Halo 2
Less summed up: PS2 has more variety and a larger selection, in part due to the larger user base here and in Japan. I'm not familiar enough with the control set-up to compare.
Otherwise: X-Box. It has its online system already up and running, it has better graphics, more and more varied games are being released for it, etc. From the demo I've played, Gotham 2 looks great, but I'm not really into that kind of game enough to give you the juicy details.

8. X-Box is a lifesaver.... |
|
There's not enough stress that could possibly build up in any 9 hour or so workday that can't be completely relaxed away by an hour or two of GTA: Vicy City. (Although that's on PS2 also so you don't need an X-Box for that)
Also looking forward to playing Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, but that I think that's on PS2 as well. (I'll finally get to use my LIVE account)
Halo 2 will be something to look forward to, though.

14. Ah, the old graphics debate. |
|
The old playstation was superior to the more powerful N64 and Sega systems despite having the worst graphics of the bunch. I think the same can be said about the current generation of systems, IMHO.

My husband is now caught in Pirates of The Caribbean. He likes PGR also . I'm really into Amped so far .
we don't have PS2 so I don't really have anything to compare the xbox too .

18. XBOX is crystal clear with 5.1 surround and HD output |
|
with a couple add-ons. I use the DVD player a lot, although the XBOX itself is kinda noisy.
