xbox vs ps2

espn football does that for me occasionally as the commentary skips and the drive sounds like it's working overtime. I don't mind since i've had mine since launch. The new xboxes will be cheap anyways because of a price cut coming soon.

It's going to suck that they'll take the HD out of the next one, but i'll look at the next systems and pick whichever one is better. to me, the xbox stands alone as a different system, which is why I got it. if you actually do some real tampering with it, you can unlock the true power of it. Without a HD, it'll just be another one of the little guys.

 

I've heard rumors that it won't be a hard drive, but it'll still have huge storage capacity through some kind of new tech. MS supposedly bought some company that was working on some new storage tech.

 

it'll be flash memory..like with digital cameras

 

actually I think it'll be those new gig chips that are about to be released on the market... yes its still flash, but slightly different than past flash

 

Right now, games like Baldur's Gate 2 and Champions of Norath make PS2 ownership much more worthwhile to me. The Dark Cloud series is good, and the Mark of Kri is probably the best game I've played on "next gen" systems.

Regardless, when Fable comes out, I will have to buy an X-box, because it's going to be amazing. A lot like Daggerfall, only better.

 

Baldur's Gate 2 is on xbox iirc, but yeah, you will definitely have more of that style on the ps2. You played Gladius? Just wondering how it is.

I'm mainly into sports games, so the hard drive is a huge benefit when it comes to saving multiple rosters, classic teams, franchises, draft classes, etc., but the ps2 can't be beat for jap. style games or games by developers who are in sony's pocket.

Speaking of Daggerfall, have you played Morrowind? I can't wait for Fable either.

 

I bought Morrowind and can't get into it. For sale if anyone wants it. $10

 

Yeah, it was rather boring, it lacked a compelling reason to really do anything other than run around and look at the scenery. The storyline just didn't hook me in enough to give a fuck about getting to that next task.

 

You're not helping my sales.

 

The fact that the game of the year edition with both expansion packs added on sells for 20 bucks probably doesn't help either. Sorry, it wasn't my intention to harm your business.

Nevermind, I just checked, the GOTY edition is 30 bucks so you can probably get 10 for the regular one. Or just trade it in.
