Message: <blockquote data-quote="SurgicalSteel" data-source="post: 462807" data-attributes="member: 5611">In the comments that follow, bear in mind that I nurture an animus against Microsoft.If you will be getting only one console, you have to make a decision: now or later?If now is your answer, PS2 is your choice.If later is your answer, XBox is the best choice.PS2 is "better" now (has far more games), but Xbox will overcome it.  PS2 had nearly a 1 year advantage.XBox has Metal Gear 2 (which is better than the PS2 version).XBox has SSX Tricky as well. Personally, I feel that XBox is the better console because it has the best graphics hardware, it has the best connectivity, and it has a hard drive.Many people have tremedously underestimated the power of the hard drive. That is a 3 GIG cache.  Its slow, but its HUGE.People will be doing things on the XBox we have never seen before.And there is the connectivity.  With Unreal and the XBox network, you will see real online FPS tournaments that were never before possible.You don't like FPSes.Fair enough.But this serves to indicate what it CAN do.What this all boils down to is there will be new types of games on the XBox, that won't ever be on the other two systems.By the time this generation of the war is over, the XBox will be making everyone else sick with envy.Games-wise XBox already has some really good games.Metal Gear 2: Substance (the best version)Splinter CellShenmue 2 (also the best version of this)SSX TrickyDOA 3There's enough there, even if you don't like Halo.And none of this considers the future.If you are a GTA guy, then PS2 is your only option.The developer has signed an exclusivity contract that makes the GTA games PS2 only for the next several years.GameCube is pretty much dead in the water because of a history of poor management decisions.Make no mistake, I despise Microsoft.But I never said they were stupid.</blockquote>
