[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 2077918, member: 22882"] That pretty much sums it up, though admitting it's a total disconnect means that I can't actually 'win' the argument. Damn your calm reasonable response! :mad: ;) Regardless of which side the OP falls on, though, I'll leave him with this. The XBox's top exclusive (or greatly delayed release) games aren't RPGs or fantasy of any kind - they're games like the Halo series and Dead or Alive. Morrowind and Knights of the Old Republic are both available for the PC, provided you have sufficient processor power to run them, perhaps on considerably lowered graphics settings. The PS2's exclusive games include some type of RPGs and several non-RPG fantasy games, in adition to the wealth of PS1 games. For fantasy gaming purposes, I think you'll find the PS2 has vastly more options and the only options that you can't get somewhere else. If you don't like any of those options, the XBox might be a better choice. Personally, if that's what you decide, I would just spend the $200 or less you'd pay for the Box on a better graphics card for the PC. You might have to wait a few months for some games, but the best selection of PC-style RPGs is still on the PC, and likely to remain there. [/QUOTE]
