kapkomet Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Yea, and I saw that PS2 will match ($149) it in May, or even go to $129. I might have to break down and get one then, just in time for the next version to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Damn if Xbox goes to 129, I'd be damn tempted to buy it, especially if the new systems don't come out for a while. XBOX is starting to become the best game console out there. When the next consoles come out (whenever the hell that is) I may just go with Bill Gates' product.

DonkeyKongerko Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Got mine for $25 from FreeVideoGames.com. I will be putting Linux and running a webserver on there shortly. XBox is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hye guys, maybe you can help fill me in. I used to LOVE video game systems, but as of late I have been too busy to invest in one and they have been too exspensive. But since BOTH major systems seem to be dropping, which do you suggest I look into? Which offers the best games? I am primarally a sports game player, but I would invest in games like GTA, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 X-box Live is the best of the on-line Sony has the best graphics and sports games and GameCube has some great franchise stuff. I have all three sitting here as my game developer in training son builds his collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 its always been my understanding that XBox has the better graphics... personaly i think sony's online is better becuase it's free. Sony also has a wider variety of games and that'd be my suggestion for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 We have PS2 (as does all of Brian's friends). We've tried XBox, but weren't too thrilled with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I'd say that Sony used to have the best games, but now that Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear are going to be more widely available on all systems its hard to say. Plus HALO is freaking awesome and HALO 2 will be an Xbox game (or at least I'm assuming it is). Graphics wise Xbox is hands down the best. Plus its got a harddrive or something built in so you can put in your own cd's and songs and listen to them while your playing a game. PS2 is still really good and GameCube is better for kids games, imo. Although some of the games GameCube has are pretty fun. I got PS2 and I like it...so I don't think you could go wrong with either PS2 or Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
