    XBOX-PS2 visuals & abilities

    What's going on guys. I was a "Maddenite" until last year when 2k3 came out. My console has always been PS2. However I have an HDTV & 5.1 surround setup (something every young gamer needs when he hits the real world and starts to make money.) Anyhow, I hear a lot about the XBOX's capabilities with handling graphics and sound. After playing Matrix I was impressed. Can any of you let me know if it is worth it for me to make the switch to the XBOX. I understand the need to buy component cables, optical cords etc..and I do not see the new controller as being too hard to use, but I would like to hear from somebody who has a lot of experience in this area.

    Some of my worries include having to pay for xBOX live just to recieve roster updates (one of my favorite features on the PS2). I do not play much against other people online so that online play is really no worry, just roster updates.

    I hear a lot about XBOX's framerates and pixels totals. If you have any kind of info/stats like that it would be greatly appreciated.

    Now I don't mean for this to be a drag out debate on the superior console, It seems there is already enough debate going on between Madden & ESPN.
    We are all on the same team.

    thanks a million, marty-mar

    I don't know about the difference personally but I've heard the graphical difference on the Xbox is big without HD and with it is just huge.

    As for Xbox Live its really not that expensive. $50 for the software, headset, and 1 year subscription. Seems like a steal to me, even if you don't play online that much (and don't forget its not only for 2k4 it'll give you updates for Mechassault and Splinter Cell and let you play other games online).

          High Definition and Dolby Digital sound are reason enough to go with xbox. If you want roster updates, you can buy Action Replay. It is similar to shark port and you can download rosters that way.

                what's the cost of Action Replay? & does it use the smae files from SEGA or it's own independant files? Where would they be downloaded?

                      Action Replay

                      Basically, it's a link up between Xbox and PC, through which you can transfer game saves.

                            action replay is $39.99 http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/234316.asp

                            you couldn't download the Sega files, they would be files people here make. You can look at the roster and downloads section here. People have the NCAA football teams with real names for action replay.
