PS2 vs. XBOX

Re: PS2 vs. XBOX

Well, if you enjoy those EA games online, then your choice already is made. You can't play EA games online with an Xbox.

Otherwise, I'd go with the Xbox if you're a sports gamer, all the way. Almost unlimited storage space for dynasties and seasons, and the games look better. Faster loading, too. Plus Microsoft has some very good first-party sports titles, such as NBA Inside Drive, which blows NBA Live out of the water if you're looking for realistic hoops.

Amped 2, Top Spin and Links 2004 also are MS titles that either are better than EA titles or fill a niche that EA doesn't exploit.

One more thing: If you play online with a broadband connection, Xbox Live is fantastic. The interface, performance, everything, is top-notch. It's the one area where MS has a clear edge over Sony.

Take care,
PK

I am in the same boat..Almost three years to the day my playstation stopped reading disk. I sent it to sony and paid a large fee to get it fixed.....Now lask weekend my PS2 stopped reading disk again. I took it apart and cleaned the lens but it did not help. I am at a crossroads. Should I buy a new PS2 or go out and get an Xbox. I have ten games for PS2 most are EA sports games that I will trade for the new 2005 games next year anyways. I have the network adapter and two EA controllers. I am afraid that if I get the Xbox EA will stop making games for the Xbox then I will be screwed because EA games are my favorite. I also have a 57 inch TV...is it safe to play an Xbox on a projection TV?.....I would appreciate any advice that you guys have&gt;

<hr /></blockquote><font class="post">Why would EA stop making games on xbox. The way I see it, why would you get another PS2? You've already owned that one. Try something new, get an xbox. I'm sure you'll love it. I have a launch PS2 that still works pretty good, but then again, I don't don't use it all that much.

Re: PS2 vs. XBOX

I made the switch....Traded in broken PS2, games and other PS2 items for an new xbox and Halo....I also rented ESPN football and it ROCKS......I Love it so far...Do you guys have any suggestions on what games I should buy first. Oh and the best part of the trade was that I only had to pay $16.47 for the new Xbox and Halo after the trade

Re: PS2 vs. XBOX

the only reason i am suggesting ps2 is because you already have ps2 games and it will be cheaper, but otherwise xbox has a much better system, but you won't be able to play xbox games on xbox 2 it looks like which you will be able to do with the ps2 and also the next xbox won't have a hard drive
