What would you install into your ride to integrate with a video system. My initial thoughts are the new PS2 for it's small size and wireless controller ports. Xbox has some way cool games but is hella large and I am rapidly running out of space (unless I take it apart). FYI 2000 Expedition with a whole lot of gadgets and two really large dogs.

I'd really want to go XBox over PS2. But, there is that size problem. They are huge. And those slim PS2's are so nice you could fit it anywhere. If size is an issue then obviously I'd go PS2. If you can find a cozy spot to put an XBox I'd go that route.

Just curious what games for XBOX you found that were 'way cool'? I bought an xbox a while ago and all the games ive played are crap. Whatever happened to golden axe for sega genesis.

PS2 man. It's smaller, and has a larger library of games. I just think it's the best system based on the fact that it has a lot more/better games than the Xbox does.

What games were those that were crap?? I wish I bought an XBOX over my PS2 because all the games I would like to play only come out on XBOX or play better on XBOX.

As for my answer on this topic I would go with the PS2 Slim because of space. If you have space to spare then go with the xbox man. Maybe XBOX will come out with a slimmer model to compete with Sony [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

PS2 does have a larger library. But, the XBox blows it away in terms of graphics and performace. Not to mention it handles every game on it better than the PS2.

Halo
Halo2
KOTOR 1 and 2
Fable
Soul Calibur 2
Splinter Cell 1, 2 & 3
Dues EX
Shenmue II
MVP Baseball Series
Grand Theft Auto III and VC
Morrowind
Doom III

The PS2 can't even run half of the games I named. And the ones I it can the XBox does it 10 times better. I have a PS2 and love it. Don't get me wrong. XBox is just more powerful.

A big thing I would look at is the fact that the xbox plays HD. And most of the games are at least progressive scan. So if your moniters handle a resolution of more than 640x480 you should try as hard as possible to take advantage of that. Besides PS2 is great but the new games just don't have the sizzle on the PS2 due to aging hardware while xbox is still kicking for power and performance.

</font>[/QUOTE]Exactly what Joe said. PS2 is great but XBOX kicks its butt on so many other levels. PS2's take time to load games, XBOX loads them far more faster.

And I'm a fan of Playstations sayin this lol
