Dunno XBox or PS2 ? Please help...

Well, I've heard a lot of both of them and after playing a few games @ PS2, I decided to buy it. But I can't decide if I should buy PS2 or XBox.

They both r in the same price range. The only difference I know is that ps2 has a lot more games tahn XBox does. But I woulnd't care about the shitty games...

So which ones do u guys recommend? Which one is better in terms of game quality? ( I'll usually play racing games)

hmm... if buyin' a XBox is a better idea, I would buy it. I wouldn't care that it's been produced by Microsoft...

granted i hate microsoft, but the XBox just kicks PS2's ass... I have traditionally loved sony products and really don't care for microsoft, but i have to give microsoft the edge on this one...

XBox's graphics are just so much better, and yes there are less games, but EACH of those games the XBox has are better than 10 PS2 games.... PS2 just puts out so many games (some are good, some are downright SHITTY) JUST so people will think "hey, PS2 has so many more games, i'm gonna get a PS2..." I'd rather stick to the couple of really good games from Xbox...

If you want to compare graphics, just play Halo on XBox, and make your man look down at the grass while you're walking - the rendering is amazing.

thanks every1...

but, NOW, I'm really confused

after playing Gran Turismo 3 @ PS2, I was really about to buy PS2.

and I have to admit that XBox's graphics r better... but as some of u guys said, it's not just about the quality of graphics, but the games... So, I think I need a few more advices... (I really don't wanna waste my 200-250 $ and than regret, that's why I don't wanna decide quickly)

well what type of games do you like to play? what features are you looking for?

the GC wont play DVDs, the ps2 will, the xbox makes you buy the DVD remote BEFORE it lets you play stuff.

the xbox comes with a harddrive, so you can store music on there and stuff...but again its a console, so all you can do is store and play, no other features like burning. think of the xbox as a pseudo desktop.

further - space is even an issue. the GC is miniscule whereas the xbox is like a friggin VCR.

then again, deliberating too much is almost rediculous. if you LIKE games, and buy GOOD games- for either system - you will be entertained. its more of a personal choice than one based on facts and figures|

I'm looking for mostly racing games (Gran Turismo, Need for Speed etc.) and also fighting games (Tekken)

what I want is of course good graphics, nice controllers such as racing wheels etc...
