I have come to the conclusiuon that the PS2 really sucks. The XBOX and even the Gamecube has better graphics and I can get the same games on those two systems just as easily as I can on the PS2.

Anyone looking for one? If you have been nice to me on here I will cut you a good deal. If you have been a jerk I will still think about cutting an ok deal just because you are an EC member

I'd jump on that in a second.

Except I already have one

The games are what make the system, IMO. Wild Arms 3... MGS2... FFX... KH... DMC1... not to mention the upcoming Xenosaga, .hack, DMC2, FFXI, Vexx...

PS2 eez gud...

You can trade it in to EB and get like, 120 dollar credit towards almost anything in the store, if you want.

Hell, if you trade in the PS2 and three games, you get a shit-box for free.

Our store doesnt, since we don't have, like, room for a PS2/xbox/cube hookup in the back.. We just resell it to someone used.. And if it doesn't work, we replace it.. or offer a 99 dollar repair service.

Steel Battalions looks good.

And TJ&E 3 is something I would like simply because of the previous TJ&E games.

Nothing else on the X-Box impressed me at all.

GC has a better lineup. They have some good classics revamped (Mario, metroid, SSBM, etc), though they did bastardise link.

PS2 has the best games now and the best games coming, though the system specs aren't as spectacular as the rest.

And I'd love to hear your explanation as to why MGS2 for the X-Box is superior to that on the PS2... since the reviews I've seen said there were no major improvements, graphical or gameplay, on the X-Box edition.

Nah, they use microsoft's shit. It's as smelly as the rest, but it costs twice as much. They over-hyped it, and gave you great shit but not much to do with it.

PS2 shit isn't as high quality, but there's tons of things to do with it and tons more on the way.

NGC shit is pretty good, higher quality than PS2 shit, not as many things to do with it, but what there is is very fun, and they have some decent new things to do with it on the way.

Microsoft is SO FUCKING DESPERATE to sell said shitbox, boy. Why is that? Because it sucks ass. Major multitudes of ass.

The only time I reccomend it to people is when they want to play sports games online (Since those damned sports games can suck an entire memory card.)

NO SEE HE CALLED IT THE SHITBOX BECAUSE HE WAS BEING FUNNY BECAUSE HE THINKS THE XBOX IS LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT OR SOMETHING TEEHEE HES ABOUT AS STUPID AS HE IS UNCOOL

Seriously, though. I think the PS2 is an over rated piece of crap with many over rated piece of crap games, and the main reason given for people liking it is "the library". The only reason it's so big is because they'll publish anything anyone comes up with. For every MSG2 there's 142515809185091 The Bouncer's and H30 Surfing's. But I don't go into every thread involving an PS2 and go, "ROOFLES PS2 SUX!~!!^!!"

And the funny thing is, some of you people are the same ones who yell at Maradon for doing the SAME EXACT THING to the Gamecube.

Me and Khyron have an educated, informed opinion on the Xbox. The games are not fun, most of the stuff on it is ported (Save steel batallion), and microsoft is trying to pull deals out it's ass to get it to sell.

Maradon's opinion consists of "OMFG ITS KIDDY ONOSE!!" and that's basically it, from what I've seen.

I do have to agree there. That sucks. But I only rented it so far, haven't bought it, and I chalked that up to something I would get the hand of acquiring had I more time to play the game.

I really enjoyed it, though. And I'm not a huge platformer fan, although I had played Ghosts and Goblins (I think that's the name. The Super version always makes me confused) when I was younger.

You're true, but I'd like to make one point : Even though over 2/3 of the PS2 games out there now are POS games, the remaining 1/3 is still better than the entire library of all games, good and bad, for the X-Box.

NGC is getting strong, tho. I plan on getting a NGC, I already have a PS2, and those are the only next-gen consoles I would recommend to anyone.

There's also the fact that when we stacked some Xboxes in the back, They broke the fucking shelves they were sitting on.

I'm the same as Khyron. I plan on getting a 'Cube, because there are some upcoming items (Zelda, wheeee!) that I want to be able to play.

I have nothing against the XBox as a system, but nothing it has presented so far has tickled my fancy enough to make me want to buy it. The graphics are definitely top par, but the game selection leaves much to be desired, at least for me.

I'm not sure there's enough on the PS2 to warrant me getting one. I might go after it for the Square titles since I miss those a little. I don't know if I've seen much of else that I liked for it, though. GTA3 is fun, but I'd probably never be able to buy it.

The gamecube doesn't hold anything that I like. I can enjoy SSBM for a short amount of time, but that's just playing it when other people have a gamecube around. The other games I've played I haven't really liked much.

Overall, The PS2 won out for general bits, since you could see cops ahead, do a camera-thingie round your car, and stuff. It also LOOKED like you were going 120 mph. The cube was going 120, but it looked like maybe 100..

The Xbox was going 150, and it looked like a sunday drive with your grandma.

Point taken. The only system I've had actually in the house is the PS2. The other two I have had to go on outside sources, like in the store, or screenshots in gaming mags and gaming sites.

From what I've seen, I do have to say I like the look. It just doesn't have any games for me.

You've never been to an EB, have you?

These shelves can hold about 20 Cubes, and around 15 PS2s.. But you try and fit more then ten Xboxes on it, and they not only bend the shelf, they rip the wall out along with it.

That's just a developer not taking the time to use the various systems. That's why cross platform games are a horrible thing to go by, as most developers just toss the same exact game around.

Consoles aren't like PCs. You don't use a different graphics card and magically get a better looking game.
