I don't understand how placing a console vertically will prevent the vents being blocked.

The X-Box doesn't need a memory card.

I agree with that.

If you already have a PS2, why would you need to fork out more money for another DVD playback kit anyway?
> games like vice city come out later on xbox
With the improved graphics, smoother pace and the space you can save with memory, it's worth waiting for I think. Admitedly I had GTA for my PS2 first, but that's because I never new an X-Box versions would be released. As soon as the X-Box versions were released I traded my PS2 versions for them.

Well I don't like footie games anyway, but that's a fair point. If you mean what I think you mean anyway.

True, but neither does MY PS2.
There you go problems solved, so now go buy an X-Box and be happy.

isn't this the wrong place to put a ps2-vs-xbox thing?
i mean don't you think it would be a bit one sided?
personnaly i don't get an xbox because:
too big will not fit where i would like it to go
controller too big (bigger isn't always better)
cannot be placed verticaly and not block vents
memory cards go into controller (dreamcast all over agian)
limeted edition xbox looks worse than the original
dvd needs a kit costing £10
no extra usb ports or i-link ports meaning xbox goods only
games like vice city come out later on xbox
no skateboards,
no fighting arena,
no footie shootout things,
no eyetoy,
travel tv is 1.2" smaller than PS2's and same price,
controller are £5 more,
and even SR think the same because they have given:
2 pages in last mag to xbox
2 pages " " " " gamecube
and guess what...
3 PAGES IN LAST MAG TO PS2
xbox had 3 reveiws in last mag PS2 had 7
(are we seeing a pattern?)
free gifts (in mag)
xbox = 2
PS2 = 6
and after all this xbox is cheaper, has hardrve, doesn't need network adaptor, and has cheaper memory cards, 4 ports etc
so ps2 must be the best! (console wise)

I think both are alright, I have to admit, I do hate the Xbox controllers, and that includes the 'improved' S version. The PS2 controller has a much better layout and feel to it. I have to say, the Gamecube controller is a nice one, it just seems to fit perfectly for gaming. The Xbox generally looks nastier than the PS2, but then again, the PS2 is hardly the nicest looking piece of kit. I don't really care about the online capabilities of either machine, so they don't win any points from me there. The Xbox games DO look better running on an Xbox, out of the lot of consoles, the PS2 doesn't quite look a sharp.
But once again, at the end of the day, it comes down to games. The games I want to play tend to be PS2 and Gamecube. So for me, those two are the best consoles. I don't care about statistics, units sold, what games are coming out on what and what hype is where. I've decided on what suits my needs best. Plus theres no point in me harping on to someone else about what I think is the best, because what floats my boat may not float theirs. My mate loves his Xbox, and fair play to him, if that does it for him then no doubt that is the best console. The entire thing is subjective, and therefore ends up with people bickering away for AGES at each other over it.

Playstation2,Without a Doubt. The graphics are better.
If someone's preaching about how great their console is, why are they online and not offline playing it?
Eh? Eh? Think about that.
Eh? Eh? Think about that.
True though, constantly ranting and raving about how much better one console is than another isn't going to change anything.
I'll buy a console only if I want to. If I need to check onoe out, I will look at UNBIASED reviews (which are a rarity these days). No-one will influence my decisions by fanboying it.

*Sheds a tear*
Everytime I read one of the generic 'ps2 or xbox' threads, I cry because theres a lot people who are totally biased and ignorant of other consoles. Personally i've got a Gamecube, PS2 and a PC. I play all of them, because they all have their own exclusive games and they are all fun. I've played an Xbox and I do like them but 'Oh no!' he hasn't got one! This is simply because I cannot be bothered forking out more money for another console. Simple as that
PS2s and Xboxs - what the hell is the point of comparing them. True the Xbox may have a hard-drive, true the PS2 was released,they both had advantages and disadvantages - but you see what is the point of saying that one is better than the other? Who is that going to matter to. I know that iam going to play my PS2 even if all of you say the Xbox is better
Did you know that everytime these 'Ps2 or Xbox-who is better threads' get posted on the forum, a small pixie dies.
Please think of the pixies.
