Xbox + Mod Chip + XBMC = cracking games console and superb media player for Dvd's, mp3's, photo's, Divx, Xvid etc.

For sheer diversity - PS2
For some nice exclusives and aforementioned Emu's/DivX/XBMC -Xbox

Smart money buys both - they can be had for bargainliscious prices.

I found the xbox to be far better value for money. There are more games on the ps2, but most of them are cheaply made clones, and there is very little worth playing. I never use my ps2 any more (except for playing dvds when I'm on holiday)...

Got a PS2 thats only really been used to play one game (Pro Evo) which Im considering selling. Offers?

One controller, One memory card, PES4 PES5 and GT4 to go with it too. I also have Buzz the music quiz but think my brother might want to keep that although I might chuck it in with the right offer

Personally I'm waiting for the new Nintendo, out pretty soon. Nintendo games seem to have more emphasis on fun, and less on cutting edge graphics etc.

I concur

If you really want an XBox - you can have my old one plus 10 games for £80.
