Alas, my Xbox version is plauged with the dirty disc error. So I have two choices: Buy another Xbox or get the PS2 version. I work occassionally at Gamestop, so I used my game checkout privilege to see how well the PS2 version played before I made a decision.
The PS2 version is much more grainy and suffers from a slightly lower framerate, but it is playable. The Xbox definitely looks better, but it's not as bright. The antialiasing technique to smooth things out puts a slight haze on everything, thus making the xbox version less vibrant.
Overall I prefer the xbox version, but I hate to fork out more money. However, my Xbox may soon crater, so I'm thinking I should trade it in for $80 towards a new Xbox. But darn it, I have a ton of games saved on the harddrive and I don't want to lose all those saves.
I think I will play MVP on my current Xbox and see if the dirty disc error becomes so rampant that I can't play it. Interestingly, I have never gotten the error in the middle of a game, it's always been when a game was loading or when I was adjusting rosters. This I can live with. What I'm afraid of is getting 100 games into a season and having to start over because the problem has gotten worse.
Any thoughts, similar circumstances, advice?
