The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I know that many users have started similar topics but I really need to know whether or not I should sell my PS2 and invest my money into some other hardware. Most probably an X-Box and Widescreen TV as I haven't been impressed by the up and coming titles for the black box (PS2) as many do not favour my preferred gaming styles.
No matter how much Microsoft try to deny it the X-Box will be favouring towards a P.C - especially by looking at the range of FPS's coming out which are my favourite genre. Looking at PS2 some titles do stand out - Planetside inparticular - but not to such a degree as P.C manufactures should exploit the amazing engine underneath the X-Box's hood.
If id and others choose to move some heavy FPS's off the P.C format then it really would be heaven for me, and many other gamers too. Halo, Unreal Championship and Serious Sam: the 2nd Encounter are all heading to the X-Box, which outways that genre to any other format.
So come on guys, no biassed opinions about differnt consoles just what would be best for ME. Not you, this may sound a bit selfish and rude but I really can't afford to waste my money on a pile of crap. What I'm asking is should I sell my PS2 (and games) so that I can afford to buy a widescreen T.V and X-Box; especially as this would suit my tastes perfectly.
Any help/views/arguments would be appreciated; and this is not worthless spam - I think!

Why don't you make a list of all the games you think you'll enjoy on each console, and see which one gives you the best offer?

So do many of the latest PS2 games...DMC was £45.
Although yes, PS2 games are cheaper online. But I'm sure X-box games will become cheaper online as time goes by.
