OK, which side are you o? PS2 or XBOX? I can tell you now that if I had to pick a side it would be PS2 and that's only because I have one. But which Console is the best in the Console Wars? XBOX and Playstation 2 have got to be the big ones. But is there really a best console? I mean, aren't they all just the same machines with a differant look, some differant games and a touch better graphis?
Let's look at the XBOX. I know for a fact that any of you readin this has access to a PC or owns one. If you bought an XBOX I don't understand why because the XBOX is basicly a PC cut down into a box. Same Graphics, same games, and you spent about two hundred pounds on the machine!
People bought the PS2 because of five reasons.
Number one: The games for the PsOne are begining to stop being made - no new games for the Playstation.
Number two: The Playstation 2 has "perfect" grahics.
Number three: Sony basicly forced you to buy it.
Number four: The PS2 has internet access.
Number five: It can also play DVD's.
But can't your PC do all of that? The XBOX is no differant from the PS2, okay, I'll admit it has a bit better graphics than the PS2 but dose that really make it the best console ever?
Put it this way - Grand Theft Auto one - This game was in no way the best for graphics. In fact it probably only matched Mega Drive graphics. But everybody loved it. Am I right? Yes. But now look at Final Fantasy six. In my opinion, a great game no matter if it was a SNES game brought into the PsOne. Nobody liked it because the graphics were bad. But why did they like GTA? Guns. That's what these gamers like today, they like gangsters, guns, cars, theft, and chaos. They don't like the story line. Not all gamers though; I think that the story line is what makes the game, and I can't be the only one.
Why am I talking about games now? Well what do you actually buy the console for? To look nice on your bookshelf? You buy it for the games.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Metal Gear Solid 2 out on PS2 only? Then why is MGS 2: Substance coming out for XBOX before the PS2? Because Microsoft though "Hmmm... MGS is a huge game, why don't we get it's sequal on the XBOX and we'll make more money!". But you don't know the MGS story unless you have a PS2. But people are looking forward to it's release! Why? Guns, probably.
So is there really a "Best Console"? The consoles are dependant o their games, and the games are what make the console live on. So whose the best out of XBOX and PS2?
Well ask yourself this: "Do I enjoy playing the games?" because that's what counts.

XBOXLive is impressive, but to be fair, there's little out the, in terms on LIVE game to woo the vasual gamer. Moto GP: URT is a major plus, but not too many people are into MOTO GP as it is. Unreal is terrible without the patch, and people don't want to start downloading patches so soon. NFL Fever, Mech Assault and Whacked are still only okay if you can hack the games anyway. Ghost Recon is ace, but dated graphics and the promise of HALO On-Line will see it die out quite soon.
X-Box Live is all very exciting, but it's not even launched here yet. If sony can come out with GT4 and Pro Evo 3 / Fifa Online sooner than Microsoft can give us HALO 2, don't be surprised if SONY smoke Microsoft in round 1.

I didnt read wot you wrote , i just think Xbox is better online and offline . Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!
Thats a good way to be.
I didn't really explain this in what I wrote, but I just think all the consoles are the same, just with differant grahics and games. I know you can't exactly compare Gamecube to PsOne but I'd say that the three of them (Xbox PS2 and Gamecube) are just the same in quality.

Cant you just say that you like the PS2? Why do you have to insult other consoles?
You see, most people on this site respect all consoles for what they are. We know all consoles have their bad points and good points. Thats why we hate stupid little Fanboy comments like yours.
Okay?
