    PS2 to XBOX?...XBOX users please read and help.

    I have a PS2 and am thinking about trading it in for an XBOX. I don't have any problems with my PS2 and I use it for a DVD player along with games because I'm too cheap to buy a regular DVD player lol.

    I want to "go to the dark side" because my friend has an XBOX and the advantages of the big black machine seem to outnumber those of Sony's product. No memory cards, beter controllers, the hard drive with the ability to save music, and some awesome games that weren't realeased for PS2 seem great to me.

    So anyway, I was wondering if one of the XBOX users on this forum could tell me if they have ever encountered any problems and how they were fixed, did you send it to Microsoft and receive a new one as I've heard Sony does, or did you have to pay for a repair with your own money. Also, how well do DVD's run on XBOX's?...I've heard you need a remote to play them, is this true?

    For those of you that have traded in your PS2 for the XBOX, roughly how much money do you receive back? I'm on a budget so I can't really go out and buy an XBOX without trading in my PS2.

    In advance, thank you so much for your help!

    I haven't had any problems so far but I think that if you have any problems you can send it to microsoft and they will fix it. You do have to buy the dvd playback kit to play dvd's. Dvd's run the same as they do on a dvd player. Hope this helps.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

          Why not get both? That's really the only way to go.

                I'd agree why not just have the PS2 and the Box? I do. Get a replacement plan from wherever you buy the XBOX, if they offer one. I got one when I got mine awhile back and it helped since my original had a bad drive motor. Just had to take it back to the store, no questions, no problems. You'd probably spend the same sending it out to Microsoft anyway.

                            I would never own just an xbox, ps2 or gamecube.

                            Buy all three.

                            Its just money, you will make more.
