Well which console do you like the best?


Playstation 2:

It has a huge selection of games to select from Pro Evolution Soccer to Grand Theft Auto 3, the graphics on playstation 2 are yet the best graphics, it has a built in DVD player and CD player, it can stand vertical or horizontal it is up to you, and it is great. The official Sony controller no doubt looks familiar - that's because it's a modification of the Playstation's highly successful Dual Shock pad. With built-in vibration functions, all analog buttons and twin analog sticks, the Dual Shock 2 is probably the most versatile pack-in controller ever. This is it - the standard Playstation 2 Memory Card. With 8 Megabytes of memory, these things pack a heck of a lot more storage than the old Playstation 1 cards did. They're faster too - by over 200 times, so no more waiting 30 seconds for your game to save in RPGs. Wanna Beat The Game? The new GameShark2 Version 2 for PS2 boasts an updated code list with more than 5,000 codes for 130 games, an easier to use code entry screen with virtual keyboard, updated Memory Manager software and a DVD Movie Player (which allows you to play DVD movies from any region). Bullets that never run out, hidden characters you weren’t meant to see, an infinite supply of lives — anything is possible with the GameShark.

X-Box:

It has a samll selection of games to choose from, the graphics are amazing, First announced in early 2000 and finally released to gamers in November of 2001, the Xbox is Microsoft's first true entry into the competitive world of console gaming. From the very beginning Microsoft's goal was to create the most powerful console, and to build it with the wants and needs of gamers in mind; all signs point to their having succeeded in doing just that: X-Box is here to stay. The Xbox is hands-down the most powerful console currently available on the market. With a 733MHz Intel Pentium III processor and a custom 3D graphics-processing unit what else could you ask for. With 64 audio channels, 256 stereo voices, and the ability to encode Dolby Digital 5.1 audio in real-time (a feature found only on the Xbox) Microsoft has delivered a well-rounded console that trumps the competition in almost all aspects of its performance. It has an 8 Gigabyte hard-drive and broadband adapter. The hard-drive in particular deserves special mention. From storing your game saves without need of memory card to allowing the creation of your own custom game soundtracks. Before even announcing the Xbox, Microsoft had been going the extra mile to bolster relationships with established 3rd party publishers and developers. As a result, names like SEGA, Lucas Arts, Tecmo and Capcom are already showing off how their franchises can perform on the Xbox. InterAct’s Xbox PowerPad Pro Colors marks the next wave of controllers for Xbox. Officially licensed for Xbox, this controller is smaller than its predecessors and is also fully programmable! Rubber grips have been added for extra comfort—a feature gamers will appreciate when they’re on their fourth hour of Halo! The PowerPad Pro has dual analog sticks, eight way digital d-pad, vibration feedback, and much more.
