Xbox is better.

But you should buy the one that has the games you want.

Youre post is a bit of a loaded question Laughing For the 'my console is better than yours - ner ner ner ner' Crowd..

I think it depends on the sort of games you like

If you like Adventures and Rpg's then PS2 is the way to go.. cos unfortunately the Xbox has very few of these type of games..

If however you just like mindless games like FPS,Racing games and sports.. then I suppose the Xbox.. simply cos its got better graphics - the games are a damn site easier to rip (ie: a few games onto one dvd - multi game disks etc)

plus the fact the games can be played off the Hd and all saves go on the Hd - so theres limitless space for game saves..

I have both (although i dont play them - they are my sons) and he plays the box a lot more than the PS2.. but then again he is 6 Laughing dunno how old you are?

If you missed it Elazul, he said "(not 360)".

As some have said already, it really depends on what kind of games you want.
I think Reg67 gave you a good example on what both consoles offer.
But why not do some research on sites like gamespot and ign etc? Search for the kind of games you enjoy and I'm sure you will know which console to get. Smile

As shabby said, look at the games and get the one that has more that you want. Most will agree that if a game is on both, the xbox usually does run it better.

on a gfx level xbox is the king. play a game like battlefront 2 on both systems and u'll see a huge difference. If you like FPS games xbox is the way to go. If you like rpgs and jap style platformers go with ps2. If you want a kick ass multimedia and games centre get an xbox and mod it. Nothing console wise from that generation comes close to an xbox in terms of functionality when modded. I'd say the xbox is the better of the two just because of the amount of things you can do with it. Plus ps2's can be retarded as to what media they'll run on. The dvd drive in an xbox is far far more robust. AAnd as for people who say if u have a pc u dont need an xbox thats complete asstalk because the number of games that come out for xbox to the number of games that come out for PC...huge difference. The PC is a dying gaming system atm

A few good FPS's for the xbox though too (i.e. Halo 1&2). Very Happy

i was talking strictly from a console standpoint. Much as i love PC games there's just not enough coming out anymore to justify the cost of hardware upgrades. So again out of the 2 systems..if you like FPS games xbox is the better of the two. RPG ps2 has the title although there are a few solid rpgs on the xbox just non of the japanese flavor. I bought my ps2 just for the jap rpg's and resi evil 4.
