I'm buying . . .

Post by Worm of Despite »

Either PS2 or X-Box. PS2 has Vice City and Soul Calibur 2, the two games I will kill for. BUT, X-Box also has both those titles (and KOTOR and Morrowind and the best version of Splinter Cell) . . . And whilst X-Box has a hard drive for saving games, PS2 requires a purchase of a memory card. BUT, X-Box holds no real future games I'm that wild about, whilst PS2 holds the future for me: Final Fantasy XII, Gran Turismo 4, etc. I don't know. And ALSO, I've got a handful of PS ONE games, and buying the PS2 would be great, as its backwards compatible, whilst buying an X-Box would mean I'd have to keep my PS ONE hooked up, to play games like Final Fantasy IX, etc. This is a very, very hard choice. *cry!*

I would go for PS2, it's got a wider selection of games, which is what really counts. People talk about the most powerful console but at the end of the day you could have a console that destroyed polanets, it would still be crap it it had no decent games.

Yeah, I'd buy a PS2 as well. Not that I'd have any time to do anything more than just look at appreciatingly :)

The X-Box! Get the X-Box! I believe GTA is coming out on the X-Box, which is cool. And you want KOTOR. It's one of the best games ever.

PS2 seems to be winning this atm...
I have PS2, and I need no other. I started out playing allsorts of games, but now I seem to play nothing but RPGs, though (I recently rediscovered Jade Cocoon hiding under my bed - I never finished that game...).

Get a PS2. The range of games, the number of games, the quality of games... there is already a huge back-catalogue of games to buy from, and a lot of good ones - and of course, there is no way I would ever miss the opportunity to play an FF - FFX and FFXII would be enough alone to make me get this console, if I didn't have it already.

X-Box.

Two Words: Halo.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Halo is overrated. Fun, but overrated. The Covenant are great.

I bought the pc version and it ran soooo slow and bad on my machine. I may just buy an xbox for KOTOR and Halo 2.
