I have both, I would say the Xbox though, graphics are better and it seems to load quicker, you get more for your money.

What benefits do you get chipping your box???

I know that if you chipped your old playstation 1's you could play copied games.

no u cant get a ps2 emulator. probably never will. u can get a ps1 emulator but u have to rip the cd's to the hdd via a pc as the xbox drive wont read the ps1 cd's and the emulation isnt very good for it.

PS2 is starting to suffer from textures that aren't very detailed compared to XBox and GC. Compare the consoles side by side and see for yourself.

It is the only one with the EyeToy at the moment, though.
