PS2s came out here without network cards. xbox's come with them. PS2s started shipping consoles with network cards recently.

Final Fantasy was ok but X-2 killed the series for me. Man that was a crap game.

No the evil spirit of Bill Gates did not possess me to write this. XBOX is a better product.

"16 person Coagulation Team Slayer is absolute gaming nirvana. End of story."

Agreed.

And with the advent of KOTOR2, Xbox>PS2

The controllers for the ps2, though smaller, are oddly angled. Thusly, I have a bit of trouble getting used to them (you see, I don't own either :-X). The new Xbox conts handle very well, and the placement of the shoulder buttons are nicely done, so you don't have to fumble for them.

Other notes:

All FFs after 6 were, IMO, not worthy of the name. Seven and nine were okay, but they're a bit overhyped (ediocre at best), and don't have the same nostalgic feel to them.

Xbox=PC for 100 some dollars. Good deal, if you ask me--even if you're up to modifying it.

I love my XBOX better than any gaming console ever on the market. It has better graphics, a better button layout, and the best game of all time, Halo.

ps2 is far superior, both in its design and the fact it's not made by microsoft.

Pfft! You people don't know the capabilities of the XBOX, do you? Its a mini computer basically with the capabilities to push any game to a new high.

PS2 is better by far, no comparison.

The look of the console is like a serious piece of equipment... the x box looks like a childs game.

The PS2 has better controllers...the box is rounded and has a strangely UFO feel.

The PS2 is black and sleek... the box is green with an x, what the heck is that.

SONY LEADS THE WAY!

I LIKE GLITCHES they make the game more fun (I think all sport games for consoles suck exept the ssx sieries)dunno if tekken counts as a sport though, another reason why ps2 is better is beacause u can play ps1 games also top that:88)

XBOX IS THE BEST EVER!!! Next to Sega Dreamcast.
PS2 is crap in comparison.
And by the way, the hockey games are better on Xbox, but only if you are talkin about the sega hockey games cuz the rest are bogus.
PS2 is an ok system, but I find it has too many glitches and the game graphics are cheesy in comparison to those of the Xbox - even in the same games!!!
Xbox is a much superior system. People you are comparing a console system to a computer, and never will the console come close.
Besides, Sony is one of the worst companies on the planet for underpaid overworked employees, and their machines have more bugs than even an RCA cd player!
Dreamcast is still the best system ever though.

The PS2 isn't even capable of handling the Halo 2 graphics. No PS2 game can hold a candle to either of the games in the Halo series.

Well I like the Xbox because of the Live component. I get to play online with people all over the world and have met some cool people, even though it's just for a game. You get to learn alot about how others think.

Say anyone play Xbox games Live here? I usually spend time on Rainbow Six Black Arrow, Ghost Recon 2 and engaged in some Star Wars Battlefront sometime back if not for the bad online menu. Looking for team play games and hopefully lag-free. The gamertag's my nick.

Still hoping for that bonus that can finance my Gamecube.

Edit : Forgot to add Halo 2 as one of the games I play Live.
