Thinking of getting one or other of these.

What are the pros and cons of each system?

Many Thanks

Nick

PS2 Pros:

Massive game selection, what with the PSONE games too, must be at least a thousand.

GTA games always come out on this first.

Plays DVD`s out of the box

Does support some live gaming

new slimline version ..

PS2 CONS:

You need to buy a memory card to play some games

you need to buy an adapter to play live

not that many live games.


XBOX pros

Graphically superior to the PS2 .. games DO look better on this machine

Built in Hard Drive .. No need for a memory card!

Mp3 Jukebox! Rip cd`s to the HD ! Perfect for parties and chilling out!

Ripped tunes can be played back in some games! custom soundtracks!

Xbox LIVE! Massive support for Live gaming and Broadband connectivty built in.

Can be chipped and software hacked .. loads of room for modding.

DVD playback better than PS2`s

Quality games...


CONS:

Game Library not as large as PS2

DVD playback needs a dongle and remote sold seperately.. unless you chip or mod it! :-)


Heavy to lug around..





how`s that?
