PS2 or Xbox?

Sorry, just quoting industry analysts. Maybe they were referring to games and not consoles? I dunno.

 

Games are $50 just like everyone else's.

 

"possible" implies "future". I believe the thinking is that this summer will see the price war...

 

I can see how a cartridge game (Nintendo64) could wear out compared to a DVD game.

hmmmm, so now I have to think about this

Which game has the best network advantages?

 

Buy one online at half.com or ebay. People are trying to get rid of their systems with lots of extras. Sony will become a big market when online games come along but I wouldn't discount MSFT ability to have success in the market either. Sony has done real well with online game such as Everquest.

 

I appreciate everybody's input, but I have to say, I am not swayed oneway or another. I'm guessing I'll go with PS2.

 

Can't got wrong with PS2.

 

play them both at my house ps2 and x-box, like the ps2 better, for madden , and nba live

 

Hey Y2, another consideration might be the ability to playback DVD movies. PS2 does it off the shelf. X box can with an additional add-on. Gamecube can't (hence the difference in price). My kids have the PS2 here at the house and X box and G'cube at the grandparents. They seem to gravitate to the PS2, even when they're over there.
I think with the Xbox, you're seeing the future in convergence of the computer(internet), TV, and gaming consoles. But for now, I'd go with the PS2, as the sports games are as good as anything else out nthere.

 

hmm...
Add on huh? That won't sit too well with the wife. Part of my selling point is just that, DVD player. Yes, I'm still in the stone age with my VCR, but hey, digital video recording and PPV is really all you need.

What kind of add-on?

I played the NBA on XBox the other day, it's pretty cool. I like the controller better on XBox too.
