Thinking about buying XBOX for upcoming football games.

But I have a question.

I heard that in ESPN, on PS2, w/o the HDD you'll only be able to watch screenshots in the weekly wrapup, while if you have the HDD you'll be able to watch videos from the games in the weekly wrapup (in franchise mode, obviously).

My question is, in the XBOX version of ESPN 2K5, will we be able to watch videos of the games in franchise mode, as if we had the HDD for the PS2, since XBOX already has a hard drive?

I ask because I read that the XBOX's hard drive has 8GB's of memory, while the PS2's HDD has 40GB's, which seems like a big difference...

i'm pretty sure the answer is a yes, and i just got an xbox (the special edition green one with halo), and i must say that it is a good deal. The smaller controller is way better (i've tried both), and its got some pretty good exclusive games

I just got the same deal as nkhera. I was at the same point as you and I sold my PS2 and took the plunge. By the way, Halo is badass. Its a blast alone and even more so in co-op. Haven't gotten a chance for any multiplayer yet though.

How can you ask about Halo? That game changed my gaming life. I never liked FPS til i played Halo and the game was just awesome. The PS2 HD is a JOKE! Go Xbox and join the rest of us on Xbox Live.

i haven't played a lot so far, but from what i can tell the xbox is a lot better than ps2. I mean this game came out in 2002, but its got graphics that are good enough or better than current ps2 games, plus i hardly had any loading from what i've played so far. Also you gotta love the built in memory. I think i got 50,000+ blocks left, and halo only took up about 300. Plus i got a warranty on it from best buy so i could always return it for store credit towards purchasing a ps3, which i thought was a good deal.


I'll play halo some more and get back to you on it, but enough about halo.

I think that you should get an xbox, the only one drawback i saw about it is, that you won't be able to play xbox games for xbox 2.

Re: Thinking about buying XBOX for upcoming football games.

The answer to original question is yes. You will be able to view video on the Xbox. NFL Fever already does it on the Box.

The other topic.... YES.... go Xbox..... go XBL..... you won't regret it!
