I've never owned an X-Box, but I've had a Ps2 since they came out and I know someone who does have an X Box. First off, let me say I absolutely love the Ps2. There are PLENTY of absolutely GREAT games for the system, and I thoroughly enjoy playing it. In fact, I bought Gran Turismo 3 a little while after it came out, and I still play it a couple times a week. (used to play it every single day
) Now, for the X Box. The guy I know has both the Ps2 and the X Box. He said he thinks the Ps2 is a lot better than the X Box, but that's just one person. I think they both have their strong points and weak points, but I do think the X Box could be a lot better once they get some more games out. (the only game I've heard about that is very very very good is Halo, and I almost bought an X Box just to play Halo.
) Anyways, I'm also interested in the Ps2 vs X Box subject. (I leave out the GameCube because I REALLY dislike it
) I hope some other X Box/Ps2 owners reply also. Sorry for the long post.
Oh, as for which one offers more advanced tech, IIRC, the X Box has more appealing performance numbers than the Ps2, but that really doesn't matter. Judging how good a system is should be done by the games that are out for the system and only that way. There could be a system 10 times better than either the Ps2 or the Box but the games available could be total crap. HTH.
