X-Box v.s. Playstation 2

Post by jason »

Okay, so I am shopping for a game system. I would like to rely less on my Wintendo, switch over to Mandrake, and use my TV for gaming.

Now, X-Box has better performance I hear, and better figures for it's machine (Better graphics, more RAM, etc) plus, Dolby Digital 5.1 sound which I have the equipment for. So technically/hardware wise, it's better, (and I already own a 5 disc DVD player), however, Playstation has apparently more games.

So the question I have to ask is, are all those extra games really worth it?

Personally, if I had to buy one know, I would go with the X-Box, I was just hoping other's might have some insight into either system.

Also, don't bring up the Evil Microsoft empire argument. :D Seeing that I want to make the switch to Linux and this is part of the reason I am buying the system, it would be ironic I think.

It comes down to which games you want to play, and how you want to play them. If you've got broadband internet and an xbox, this november, you'll be very very happy.. :twisted:
