PS2 or XBOX ?

[royalflush313]

So when I hook up my TV, audio etc, I want to hook up some type of DVD player at the same time.

Since I rarely watch movies, and I rarely play games, I thought that the best option for me is to just get a PS2 (older one) or XBOX.
I heard that the new slim PS2 is not so good?

What do you guys think I should buy?

Note that I will hardly ever play games, cept maybe when I have friends over drinking, or if I'm ripped out of my mind. (and therefore, I only play simple games like racing games, or snowboarding games).

I'd like to hear some suggestions, thanks.

If you "hardly ever play games" and "hardly ever watch movies", buy a 40 dollar wal-mart special DVD player.

i rented Killzone for the PS2 the other day and started noticing how dated the graphics are starting to look..


go xbox, or wait for PS3/xbox2

Unless you really want Gran Turismo 4. Otherwise, I would go the X-box route.

People are complaining that you can't strap a hard drive on.. harder to mod (so i've heard), etc.

If you're a normal user, who actually buys the games, don't care about linux, etc. Then you're set.

I would never mod a PS2 anyway, its too outdated

Sega Genesis with NBA Jam ... Like you need anymore gaming than that.

Computers are good enough for DVDs. :)

:shock:

I don't play snowboarding games but the kinda racing games I play, I don't do well at all when I am not sober :roll: Rallisport Challenge and GT3

I'd say get both; a used x-box and used PS2...prices on em are low.

Modded xboxs are nice, even if you don't care about modding games. Xbox Media Center lets you play cds/dvds/vcd/music/movies of all types/etc. You can view images and all sorts of stuff. Get a bigger harddrive and you can burn games onto your xbox within 10-20 minutes with a click of a button. Probably what I like most is the space, it's basically a computer. My computer's hard drive was dieing and I threw everything important onto my xbox for safe keeping.

Although I'm gonna miss GT4.

damn such a hard decision.....

I will try to hunt for the older PS2 and mod it. I sometimes play Japanese DVDs so I need a region-free player.
If I can't find a PS2, then I'll get a XBOX. I can mod the XBOX too right?

Thanks guys.

Xbox's are easier to mod then PS2's. And information on how-to is easier to come by.
