It is only a few millimetres bigger than the Playstation 2, and is more symmetrical.

That is why Microsoft brought out the 'controller S'.
> cannot be placed verticaly and not block vents
The PS2 can not be placed vertically without running the risk of your laser getting out of alignment.
> memory cards go into controller (dreamcast all over agian)
Yes, but you don't need any memory cards. After all, it has an 8GB hard disk drive.
> limeted edition xbox looks worse than the original
And that's a reason not to by a standard Xbox, because the clear green version looks worse than the black one. That's a laughable excuse.
> dvd needs a kit costing £10
£19.99 is the reccomended retail price. The same price as the DVD remote for the Playstation 2, which is required to use all the PS2 DVD functions.
> no extra usb ports or i-link ports meaning xbox goods only
As far as I am aware, the PS2 uses PS2 goods only. Sure, some are third party, but if they're not compatable with the PS2, then they're just as useless as products not designed for the Xbox.
> games like vice city come out later on xbox
Oh what a shame. Vice City was released later on the Xbox.
> no skateboards,
Use a real one.

ble?

Funnily enough, that's a Sony product.

You cart around a PS2 as a portable machine?
Tell me, when are you going to use it where there is no TV?

They're £5 better too.

PS2 must be the best because more products are advertised for the PS2?
You really are as dumb as your username looks.

How often do you do that when you are playing a game?
For me the gamecube controller is the best.

Jak and Daxter 1 and 2.
Rachet & and clank 1 and 2.
GT
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Socom
Kingdom Hearts
Dark cloud/chronicles
Sure the xbox has many exclusives, but I dont think that they come up with these games.

I've got Jak and Daxter...its ok. Only ok though.
> Rachet & and clank 1 and 2.
Although I own the first Ratchet & Clank, I can safely say it isn't an original. Why? Because it is almost identical in the way it plays to Jak & Daxter. Not suprising considering the same developers worked on it.
> GT
I have Project Gotham 2, Sega GT (which I had for free before anyone says anything), Crazy Taxi 3, and Burnout 2 for my Xbox, and Crazy Taxi, Burnout, XG3, XGRA and Mario Kart: Double Dash for my GameCube. I don't need another racing game.
> Final Fantasy
I'm considering trying Crystal Chronicals later this year, as well as Tactics.
> Metal Gear Solid
Soon to be released on GameCube, no. 2 is already on Xbox. Metal Gear Solid FMV 1 & 2 don't currently interest me though.
> Socom
R63
> Kingdom Hearts
Have - haven't played it since I had to find a stick, rope and cloth.
> Dark cloud/chronicles
Never even heard of to be quite honest, so I can't make a comparison based on what I've read/seen.

I believe they can beat them.
