PS2 rules. It owns the market. It owns the PR. It owns the best games. Ha.


Seriously, I can't think of one person who plays a PS2 who is 1337, FlameKebab. Completely the opposite, as the end of HairDryers post shows.

Why the hell do PS2 users say that they agree that Xbox has better specs, then say 'Ps2 is better because it is'
I used to have a PS1, i should of contined that by getting a PS2, i was jealous that the japanese got them first, but i got a Xbox for my birthday, and i thought 'this must be better because it is newer'. And i was right. Ah! Just thought! Has PS2 got a cordless controller yet?

P.S. KoLd DoOm! Ice!

IIRC, you could get a (pricy) cordless controller for the PS1, so there's probably one for the PS2 (anyway, controllers work with both consoles). I don't think it was made by sony, and I'm not sure if they're even on sale anymore. Look it up, if you want to.

Flamekebab.

Why do people think that the -kebab part of my name has a capital?

One word.

The only controller i have is an N64, which i never play on. I would say that PCs are a lot better overall than any consoles as u can get emulators etc and there is a lot more scope for customisations/upgrades without having to buy a completely new computer.

Anyway I haven't really played an x-box before but most of my friends say that it is good, although we always play ps2 at parties (RF2 with only sniper rifles & grenades - it rules). I'm really not sure what to vote for...
I'm not paranoid, they're really after me!!

The PS2 originally did have an advantage over the XBox in that it was extremely well established and playable by even the most braindead beer swilling drunken fucktards, but now the sheer quality of the XBox is beginning to shine through, I mean, even Gunmetal, a game which by the XBox standards is poo, blows pretty much everything else on the PS out of the water. I just like the PS2 for ISS games. And ISS XBox style will rule.

Xbox does have good games! It has amazing games! The only reason PS2 users say that Xbox has bad games, is becuase those particular games are also on PS2.

Hitman: Contracts is amazing! I thought 'Xbox does have good games', but PS2 were also selling it. If you think Hitman is bad, well PS2 has it too. So that's one game taken away from the 'amaing game', 'huge library' of PS2 games.

Not played Hitman:Contracts, but Hitman 2 (whatever it was called) sucked compared to the original. It often happens to games when they are designed for the console market in a sequal. There tends to be some dumbing down - happened to Deus Ex.

Hitman:Codename 47 is the original. Not sure if Hitman 2 has a title other than Hitman 2. Hitman:Contracts is the latest.

I actually like Hitman 2, which is subtitled, "Silent Assassin". I hadn't really even looked at the series until very recently, but I've been rather impressed. It is worth noting that the various ports of a game can be quite different in the way they play and such. Rainbow Six 3 (what kind of name is that?) is great on XBox, but is nowhere near as good on the PS2. :)

Rainbow 6 3 is very good on the xbox, but I won't buy it untill I can complete the demo.

Andd Deux Ex: IW wasn't "dumbed down", some features just got converged, thats all.

Anyway, another PS2 argument shattered:
