Wait for the Xbox to hit $99, and buy that.

Because if your computer is halfway decent, you can use PCSX2 to play PS2 games on your PC (PCSX2 0.7, out soon, will play even more games, judging by the kick-ass screenshots on their homepage... www.pcsx2.net ).

On the other hand, CXBX (Xbox Emulator) only play's Turok.

Did you look at the FPS on those screenies? the highest I saw was 10FPS, and a few were even under 1 frame. That is absolutely unplayable.

With the amount of money one would have to spend to make a system capable of playing those games at decent framerates, they could just buy a ps2 (and an xbox) and save a huge amount of money.

Wonderboy's right. and back to the point of this thread, I would say xbox.. even though I like both... xbox live by far beats PS2 online any day

Xbox, requires 11 to 13 solder points. PS2 more then 20 solder wires(wires require each end to be soldered, meaning more then 40 solder points). I vote Xbox for this fact alone.

all i need is HALO 2 . nothing else..... :shoot

[TheJackal]

quite fankly, ive playeed many xbox games. I am very disapointed with xboxs graphics. other then maybe H2 but Im a PS@ guy all the way.
But overall remember, XBOX or PS@ will never match computer games and graphics!!
Computer games are my main choice!

For the Xbox, the X.BIT has Pogo-Pins... 0 soldering. And that new Xecuter is no-solder also, but I'm unsure how much better than the X.BIT it is.

DMS Technologies, makes arguably some of the best modchips around (The best for PS2, and probably second best for the XBox)

0 soldering chips only work well if your lucky and you can stand on head while not bumping anything near your gaming console. Soldering isn't that difficult on the Xbox but the PS2 is F'd in the butt.

I've installed the xbit. It seems fairly secure, as it does use a screw to hold it down.

I'm sure if I was paranoid about it, I could have used some non-conductive epoxy to secure the fucker in place. But I didnt, and have had no problems in the 5 months I've had it installed.

Amateur electronics wizards, on the other hand, could fuck up in a variety of ways.

Keeping the tip of your iron clean?
Clean the surface?
How about trying to use oxidized solder?
Are you soldering on your BIOS or other critical chips? Did you apply a heatsink?
Did you blob on the solder?
Bridge any pins or traces?

Yep, modded xbox's rock. Plus GTA:SA will come out next year for xbox and pc. Halo 2 I believe will eventually land on pc but will never reach ps2. So -- xbox.

Halo 2 and xBox, baby.

GTA:SA will get boring after 2 days into it just like the others.

Though I have both consoles and will probably get both games... I'm just silly like that.

Gamecube - Metroid Prime 2 for me
