To buy a box? or not to buy a box? that is the question!
 

ive got my hands on enough money to buy a box and im debating whether i should or not. everybody has a ps2 so i can just go to a friends house to play one. with all the future kickass games the box is getting im thinkin of getting it. it has Project Ego, now known as Fable, Malice, Halo, MGS games, and it bought out Rare. pisses me off that they bought rare but the only way to enjoy them is to get a box. what do you think i should do?

btw i have a cube and im not gonna get a ps2.

you can buy whichever one you like now and buy the another one later when you safed up enough money. :p

Buy a new videocard instead.

Where is the "Ditch the X-Box idea and play Gamecube" button?

I got rid of my Xbox a while back to get my bro a ps2 but when I look at and read about games like fable (a.k.a. Project Ego), Splinter Cell, Operation Flash Point, Doom III, Ninja Gaiden, Raven Shield, Return to castle wolfenstein, Halo 2, + having better looking games for the same price never hurts; It makes me want to get another Xbox...

exactly why i would be getting an xbox johnny. plus you get the 2 free games right now, and neither are that shabby from what i hear. JSRF is supposed to be pretty fun, and my friend says sega gt isnt bad either. and you dont hafta buy a memory card, although i would hafta buy a DVD remote in order to watch them. the harddrive is also one of the main factors in me buying it, cuz this way i dont hafta buy them and i can just save it on the HD. only reason for getting a memory card is for swapping files with friends, but i dont need to do none of that.

buy a new DVD player and a new comp.....

for $200? and i already have a DVD player

XBOX ROXXOR i am a lover of xbox and a hater of bill gates lol but xbox rulez because of its games it may not have alot but its games kick ass ill take quality over quanity anyday of the week in terms of video games. yes ps2 has alot of games. 30 % of them suck dick

I agree that Xbox is a nice system if you are patient to wait for the games but you shouldn't blame sony for the developers that make crap ass games, Sony justs uses open game developing policy...


Also Rabber I want to pick up a new xbox now too because of the 2 free video game deal which you do not know how much longer it is gonna last, if it wasn't for this money situation I am in now I would have had one a while ago :D

as would i. ive been thinkin about getting one even before the 2 free game deal, but now it just makes me want to get one more. JSRF is supposed to be a good challenging game, and my friend says sega gt isnt bad either.

I played JSRF it was decent to me not really my thing but 2 free games, is 2 free games :D

arrggg! and i though you said you hated JGR for the Dreamcast! but if its free...

JSRF is a little different, but I really, really didn't care for the dreamcast version. But hey I also hate THPS games, so my opinion may not be eye to eye with yours.. :(

Yes, get the Xbox and once Fable comes out, get that too.

lol that game is gonna fucking rock

rabber i think you should definatly get a box so far mine has no problems at all unlike my ps2 which shorted out and cought fire (could the reason be my cat pissed on it??!?) so id get a box and let your cat walk around OR get a ps2 and lock your cat in the closet, ive spilt water on my box a few times and have yet to experience any trouble.

Pissing on your PS2 sounds like a cry for attention from your cat. Perchance you should clean it's litter?

It always has litter it just like to piss on stuff. The liter is always clean 2.

Hey rabber did you ever get the box or you still planning on it?

I strongly agree

answer = no. ps2 > x box

I think you meant xbox > ps2.

30 percent of the Playstation 2 games suck dick eh? That's actually a really good percentage jerk off. That means that at least 70 percent of the games are decent. And you said quality games, the Xbox has quality games? I got one for Christmas and I've been pissed ever since. It does lil' more than collect dust. Jet Set Radio Future is great, but I beat that game down so quick that my Xbox truly is useless now. Oh please tell me what the names of all these quality games are. Don't say Splinter Cell or Halo, because 1. it's coming out for PS2, and 2. I've beaten the hell out of that game. 3. Don't name games that haven't come out yet, because those are a lil' hard to play right now. I could go all day naming great games for the Playstation 2 that are out right now, not to mention all the great games coming in the approaching months. So what quality games were you talking about now?

I really can't see why you wouldn't buy a PS2 rabber, but this post really makes no sense. You say that you have a bunch of money, you already own a GameCube, and you won't buy a Playstation 2. Uh, what else do you want to know, you don't have much of a choice but to buy an Xbox. I'd recommend a radio phone over an Xbox. Look at what you get, a radio, phone, and alarm clock! Holy shit that's a great deal! The Xbox truly is god-awful.

Ok, if you have a Gamecube...and your not going to get a PS2...uhhh, what else is there to get as far as next gen systems go, a f'n Nuon? I say buy a Dreamcast, you get alot of great, roots gaming out of that system for almost no money at all. Alot more gaming you can get out of a X-Box, thats for sure. With all the money you spend on a X-Box, theres so much more gaming you can get out of it.

I'm on the ps2 = xbox, but a little more on the xbox side:)

I'd say gamecube all the way but thats just me.

Just get all three systems!

That's what I did and I'm happy :)

Well i would do that if i were rich.

But you are.

How about this: Don't buy an XBox... keep playing GC until the good games come out... then buy it... if you are lucky, it'll be cheaper( doubt it ).

I dont know whats with you and thinking im rich, the thing is im not rich. :jjang: :bitch:

I wish i had money to get all systems. :(

I wouldnt get all systems just get one and stick with it.

the Xbox is a horrible piece of machinery, no one in the right mind should buy it.

Why do you hate it so much?

it's microsoft's attempt to dominate a field they do not belong in. The hardware is dominant but there aren't enough good games for it. With zelda, mario, etc on GCN and Final Fantasy, GTA, etc on the PS2, there isnt enough to match on the xbox. Halo this, halo that, well, you know what? Halo is one game, and its not enough to make any informed gamer buy a console.

I bought Xbox for Halo... It does have some good sports games, but PS2's controls just own when it comes to sports games.

MechAssualt is pretty fun. Also Ghost Recon and Jedi Outcast. There even better multiplayer.
So far for XBox I own...
Ghost Recon
Jedi Outcast
Mech Assualt
Splinter Cell
Jet Set Radio
Sega GT 2002

I plan on getting Halo as soon as I can find it, and Tao Feng in march, and Star Wars Knights of the old Republic this month.
