going to buy either one of these two, so which is best in your opinion, and why?

you'll see loads on this topic if you use the search button, for me it comes down to what you can do with a chipped xbox :D

Xbox ......... best console even in standard form. Graphics are slightly better. games are the same price.

Great console when used on Live online games

Fantastic when it's chipped with a big HD :D

PS2 just seems to be lagging behind in the network/online area , by the time the PS2 network is off the ground everyone will have gone for Xbox live cause it's a good system.

If you also want to play that stack of 100 PSone games in the cupboard then its got to be the PS2 .... as in my case!

X-box!!!!! my friend!! I had the same problem. I couldn't decide which one to get. I ended up with the x-box after playing on my bro's ps2. The x-box are far more superior for game playing!!!!!! They are both dvd players any way, I think you have too buy the dvd software on the x-box though.

Happy hunting!!!

Will these play vcd's.

Cheers Paul

chipped Xbox will

none of the others will , correct me If I'm wrong :D

Both, and a Gamecube.

Ive got both and if i had to buy either one now id get PS2!

Reason is that it has Gran Turismo, soon to have no 4. It has WRC3 and it can play Colin McRae 4. What else do you want :D

oh and my Xbox is chipped! Ps2 pad is so much better than the Xbox one.
