did anyone even see my post back to him about my opinion on what that Kjeldoran said? it was like it was ignored... oh well :rolleyes:

Wrong, see Xbox is newer than PS2 as of now, and Playstation has been around for years (1) so yes right now it has more fans but do you honestly think final fantasy and GTA will hold it up in higher regards than Xbox for that long? Yes FFX has good graphics IN THE MOVIES but not as good as the gameplay which matters most of all!

And on another note my PS2 fans, dont diss the Xbox controller becuase you played for one god damned hour on it, play a whole day, then play a whole day and cramp your boney hands up on the little PS2 controller.. Which has more annoying clicks and buttons on it by the way. L1 L2 R1 R2 Left stick click right stick click left stick right stick keypad Triangle Square Circle X... Morons....

Have you ever played FFX? If you had you'd know that the graphics in the movies are as realistic as it gets while the actual game-play graphics are still superb. The game-play graphics of FFX is in most cases of better quality than the movie-graphics of other games (for example Tekken 4).

The XBOX controller has the worst design I've ever seen with buttons and joysticks all over the place while the PS2's simple yet powerful controller is comfortable and easy to use.

Don't go calling people morons either. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. Just because you think you're right doesn't mean you are.

galiant - I was calling the creaters of the controller morons....

Galliant, go flex your hand - play a sport or do somthing other than sitting on your [censored] play a game - your hand has cramped up to the PS2 controller too much which is the reason why you dont have good hand eye coordination involved in switching to new controllers.

Don't come here saying I sit on my [censored] all day playing games, you now absolutely nothing about me.

Besides I do flex my hand(s) because I play the guitar and I'm an artist (I draw) so I use my hands alot every day.

Don't come here telling me stuff about hand/eye coordination, I stand by what I said: the XBOX controller is badly designed.

Which is your opinions and not a fact for everyone concerned.

Controller preferrances is a very subjective thing, and while alot of the PS2 fans know how to [censored] and moan about how differant the controllers are on the XBox and GameCube, they often neglect to remember, that a simple & cheap converter will let them use their PS2 controllers on other consoles as well. I have one hooked up to my GameCube right now, just in case some PS2 fanatic might want to join in on a multiplayer game.
Personally I prefer the big XBox controllers, as the tiny PS2 controllers make my pinky go numb after an hour or so. The bigger size lets my hands rest more comfortably.

So... with the controllers not really being an issue while determining a winner, lets move on to something more deserving of mention.

Hardware really isn't that big a deal, as both the XBox and the GameCube have some impressive specs. The PS2 is obviously the loser in this category, but who cares, as long as they make games for it that has alot of good gameplay elements? (yes I love both FFX and GTA)
The slight differance in specs XBox contra GameCube, lets the developers use a bit better tekstures on an XBox game, but usually people won't even be spot a differance since both systems really shine on graphics.
While on the subject of graphics... pre-rendered non-gameplay non-interactive movies is not... and I stress NOT... proof that the PS2 can do great graphics, as all it takes render it, is about a 4MB 2D capable graphics card and a wee pint of processor power. What it IS proof of however is that SquareSoft is damn good at making pretty movies. While I do love FFX, the actual in game graphics aren't really anything worth writing home about, when compared to move graphically oriented games on the more powerful consoles.
As a last note I'd like to state, that the graphics on an XBox is not better then what you can get on a PC, as one of the first posts in this discussion claimed. The XBox is ranked somewhere between a GeForce 3 and a GeForce 4, when it comes to effects, and there's no option to pick resolution in a console game. Anyone with a GeForce4, Radeon 9500 or Radeon 9700 can get more advanced 3D effects and at a higher resolution = much better graphics.

Games is completely subjective matter, so I won't even bother to make a claim as to which platform has the best selection. To do so is somewhat silly. To each his own and I enjoy both my PC, PS2, GameCube and the enormous black box under my TV.

What did I vote for? My PC of course.

1: PC
2: XBox
3: PS2
4: GameCube

I'm pretty sure the GameCube will get a better listing once I get some more games for it. Right now I just don't see too many I'd want to pay for, but I know of quite a few titles that are in developement... <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

the ps2 and the xbox controllers ave the same amount of butons and MR.s i dont think u have saw the new xbox controller that u get when u buy a xbox..its as small if not smaller than the ps2 controller

Depends on what region you buy the XBox. The tiny controller trend started in Japan, where M$ had trouble pushing their big controllers - which makes perfect sense. Then the americans got envious at the tiny little controller that M$ made for the japanese, so now they wanted it too. The big controller is still the default in Europe though, which is where I live - thank God.
