PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
Hi guys, which of these consoles you will go with? Playstation 2 or XBox360?
I'm not talking about PS3. Just the pretty old PS2. Comparing graphics and availability of games, Xbox tops it?
Reason I'm asking is because , I wanna buy one of these..A Modded PS2 is available for 2600rs and Xbox360 Jasper Edition for 3000rs..
With the availability of GTA4, NFS Shift and other new generation games on Xbox360, Is it the better option to choose from? Or go with old PS2 games 
As I owned a PS1 during childhood, I fall in love with the Playstation series..

Re: PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
It is a revised model of Xbox 360, with a 65nm xenon and 65nm Xenos and with lower TDP. As a result.. no RRoD.

Re: PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
RROD - Red Ring of Death which is referred to as death for normal Xbox360 consoles. one with Falcon chip and all are prone to become RROD easily!!!!

Re: PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
Xbawks, the way to go. PS2's too old, way too old. RRoD's a trouble if you want DRM-free games.

Re: PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
Xbox 360 is way to go.
but in and around 2 years a new Playstation and a Xbox are coming.
If you wanna make a long term investment(i.e no new upgrade for 5 yrs and above) then my reccomendation is to wait.

Benchmarking consoles? Now that's something.

Well if he is benchmarking then you'll get the console most probably because PS3 performs better than XBOX 360 in most cases.

Re: PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
The next generation consoles are due 2014 so thats a long way away especially when the guys getting it just for 3k. Thats less than a copy of Black Ops.

Quite the opposite actually. Most multi-platform games usually run (and look) much better on the 360.
3k for a Jasper is a steal deal. Is he selling just the console or the entire bundle for 3k?

Re: PS2 or Xbox360 - Which one you pick?
I read 360 has better anti aliasing capabilities. However as of today it is much better to go for a PS3.
Now swapping 3 DVDs just to play L A Noire is quite cumbersome.
PS3 is famous for its exlusives. God of War, Heavy rain, Killzone, Gran Turismo etc. The other games even if not as good as 360 (if it is really true) is a minor tradeoff.
