I've owned the PS One and Dreamcast and have enjoyed both, but now I'm looking to get a DVD player that can play some games, too. So, it's either a PS2 or an Xbox. In my opinion, the PS2 has A LOT of great games and I can trade games and get opinions from the masses of people who own one, too. The Xbox seems to have better graphics and it's a newer system, but it doesn't have some games I really want to play like GTA3. Anyhow, I was going to get a PS2 but now I'm leaning towards an Xbox. But I still can't make a decision. Do you think you can help me?Here are the things that are most important to me:1. DVD player: I hear the PS2's DVD player doesn't always work and the Xbox one is better, but you have to buy a remote to even play DVD's. Does the Xbox DVD always work? 2. GTA3: I guess I could play it on my PC, but I hear it gets real choppy and the reason why I want to play games on the console is because it's more fun. I like playing strategy games on the PC, but when it's action or graphics, I prefer consoles. GTA3 was going to be released on the Xbox, too, but now PS2 has an exclusive license on it. 3. Fighting games: Friends coming over always like to play fighting games. For the Xbox, I hear DOA3 has pretty graphics, but it's not that fun. What good PS2 fighting games are there?4. Adventure games: I really want to play PS2's weird adventure-type games like Okage. Personally, I don't like Japanese RPG's like Final Fantasy or Grandia, but it seems the PS2 has a lot of cool adventure games that exclusive to its system. What does the Xbox have?5. LoTR games: This is a big question. Are they any good? Does it matter which system you play them on? They're not exclusive so it doesn't seem to a big factor in my decision of PS2 vs. Xbox, but I'd like to know if they're worth getting and which ones. 6. Newness: The PS2 has been out for a while now, I'm wondering when they're going to come out with a "PS3". It doesn't seem like Microsoft will come out with an "Xbox2" anytime soon, so I feel like I'll be less "jipped". Also, everyone has a PS2 so it's kinda cool to have an Xbox, right? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Then again, if the PS3 comes out, I can still play my PS2 games on it probably. 7. Style and size: The PS2 stands upright and looks cooler. The Xbox is so bulky and ugly. Overall, it seems like I'm leaning towards the PS2 but I'm very hesitant because it's been out much longer than the Xbox and there's of course the DVD factor.Can anyone list me the best PS2 vs. Xbox games so I can make a better decision? Thanks!</blockquote>
