I got an XBox for Christmas with Munch's Oddysee, Tony Hawk 2X, and DOA 3. Basically 2X doesn't have much improvement over 2, which I was addicted to, so I'm planning on returning it. Although Munch has all the strangeness of the good old oddworld from Playstation, it doesn't really capture the fun of the gameplay of the old game, maybe my tastes are just changing. I haven't even opened DOA 3 yet, and for this reason: I'm thinking about returning the Xbox and getting a playstation 2. I know that Xbox is a much more powerful peice of machinery, but the games just aren't there. I want to be playing: The graphics on Xbox are much better, its better designed, and it has a greater potential, but will the games ever be there? Xbox games just seemed to be aimed at the less intelligent. I don't want to collect powerups or snowboard I want to playing interesting game play games, role playing games, etc. Should I stick it out with my Xbox? Or should I trade it in? I don't know if I can live without Squaresoft games!!! |

Well, i just opened my brand new copy of FFX and am so far blown away. Yesteray I beat Metal Gear Solid 2, and I loved every minute of it. I say you go with the sure thing man and grab a ps2 because their are already great games for it and most likely even better games coming out for it in the future. |

Oh and by the way, you wont find any new Resident Evils on PS2 because they will only be appearing on the Gamecube for now on. |

You won't find RE on the PS2 AT FIRST, but they will come out for PS2 after the GC releases. Capcom wouldn't cut off their bread n' butter that easily. Get rid of the X-Crap I say and get a PS2 and some games! |

Oh my god, Capcom pledged RE exclusively to the Kiddie Cube? Why didn't they just through their money out the window? Anyway I can play all the other ones on my ps1 and I've beaten code Veronia. It won't be forever until RE 4 comes out (I don't care about GC improved graphics) so something will have changed by then. My big question is RPGs...Rumor has it that FFXI will be for Xbox, which would be a good move for Square considering the online capabilities of Xbox. I'm probably going to follow squaresoft at the moment... Thanks for the tip guys, I'm not going to buy another system though for years so will I regret switching to PS2 when I'm in college and Chrono Trigger X comes out for Xbox? |

Well, fuck Chrono Trigger cuz Chrono Cross sucked. Secondly, FFIX is confirmed for PS2 but could possibly be released on xbox too. If you wanna follow squaresoft then you should definately get a ps2. |

Read again: RE is going to be exclusive to the GC AT FIRST, then it will appear on other platforms (PS2). Square will not release a FF game on the Xbox since Sony just bought a large share of Square after their huge loss in the FF movie. |

Right now PS2 is the better buy because it already has alot of great games to choose from. But, I think that when Xbox gets its feet wet and gets some more games out there, it will surface as the top console. But, for now, my vote stays with PS2.... untill X can top games like grand theft auto 3, red faction, metal gear 3 and grant turismo 3 |

That's true, if the Xbox does survive (and old billy will pump cash into it to make it survive), it will force Sony to move up release of the PS3, as much as a year earlier than intended (they wanted the PS2 to live until 2004-05). No big deal, as long as Sony keeps the backward compatibility with the older games and of course delivers on the hardware, which they usually do. |

PS2 easily has the most reliable game library right now, it has some class tripleA shit...Hell, I will buy one eventually, or at least a PS3 if it has backward compatibility..but, IMO, Gamecube will have the strongest library of platinum quality games. You all wait and see, the new Mario, Zelda, Perfect Dark, Metroid, and whatever else they have up their sleeves, you know its gonna be sweet. Not to mention they will have more third party support because they are no longer cartridge, a perfect example being the Resident Evil's...oh, and Capcom signed the new RE's to be on Gamecube ONLY. You wont see them ported to another system for years, so if u want to play the new resident evils within the next 2 years, u need a GC. Oh, and the RE1 remake looks soo fuckin amazing. |

You are right, they won't let me return it, the bastards. I all made up my mind to trade it in for the PS2 and now I'm stuck with the xbox, a terrible situation. I wish I didn't even think I had the option. I really wish I could trade in Tony Hawk 2x for something else like Halo. Has anyone played Halo before? Munch's oddysee is so/so. I haven't even opened DOA3 because I think I might want to exchange it for halo. All in all I am definately dissapointed with XBox, I have looked online and I don't even see anything really spectacular to look forward to for the box. I might put signs up in my school offering a temporary/permanent trade for a PS2. I'm sure there's a ton of kids who've already beaten FFX, Metal Gear 2, and GTA3 who are looking for something new... Should I exhange DOA for Halo? Any thoughts? |

I'm not big on fighting games (except for some of the classics like Street Fighter and Rival Schools)...then again I'm not that into FPShooters, but halo looks sick.. (sick meaning good) |

The discussion as to what console is better than which will never end! It depends when you buy the machine doesn't it? I had my PS2 this Feb and I know that Gamecube and XBox are meant to be better, but thats only for now! My next console will be PS3!! 007 Agent Under Fire is the game of the season!! Nothing like hunting someone down in multiplayer mode and filling them with lead on christmas morn!!! ho ho ho ! Grand Theft Auto 3 is the business too! |

Tekken 4 will be on PS2. i cant tell you if the other platforms will get it as well, but its definetly on for ps2. On the fighter subject, Sega's virtua Fighter 4 is a PS2 exclusive game, which looks VERY impressive. As for which to go with, X-box or PS2? i have had my ps2 since launch day(10/00), and i couldnt be happier with it. I made my fiance buy me a GameCube this christmas which also rocks much ass. the thought of getting an Xbox never crossed my mind. all it is, is a hype machine. no offense to Xbox owners, but anyone who belive that xbox can push over 100 million polygons on screen, is a complete moron. so it has a 700mhz processor. people hear that and flip out cause they think its so much more powerful thatn anything else. iurge you to look into the actual GRAPHICS processor, then tell me what you think in comparison. My opinion has always been that Xbox will go the way of the 3DO, it will stay around only because its manufacturer has the money to keep it around. but eventually, you can kiss it goodbye. get a PS2 and a GameCube. you WILL BE SET! |

Xanatos...have a bit of patience, mate; XBOX is only a couple of months old and it'll take some time for Developers to get to grips with whats possible; there was a similar situation with PS2 when it was first released (same with most consoles, I guess)... good thing about XBOX is it's a platform that devs already know quite well so it won't take very long before the X has a decent lib of games available... I'm sure in 3-6 months time, the situation will improve 10x... |

A suggestion regarding your unreturnable Xbox and games: It's still a hot commodity on Ebay, put it up there, and you'll be lucky to break even, very lucky if you make a slight profit, and fortunate if you only lose 50-100 dollars off the deal, but that will give you the dough to buy a PS2 and a game or two (lots of used PS2 games for under 30 dollars online and in stores that sell used games. |

Mixed opinions here...informative thought thanks Joyrex: I thought about doing that however I am sure that after opening my box and 2 of my 3 games I am bound to lose $100 people who buy from ebay are there to save money, and know what things cost retail, especially when they have to pay extra S&P. I might sell just my Tony Hawk 2X, I am a dumbass for opening it I knew I didn't want it. I think the only way I could come out even would be to trade the box temporarily or permanently to someone else. Question: Should I exchange DOA3 for Halo or Max Payne? I have not played any of these 3 games... |

If i were you, I would definetly exchange DOA3 for halo. I've played halo, and it is definetly the shit, better than DOA3 no doubt. havnt played max payne yet, but it does look quite good. You should rent halo and max payne, in order to see which game you would enjoy more before comitting. |

But, the Xbox is somewhat difficult to find - remember in 00 when the PS2 was going for 3 and 4 times it's value on Ebay? The Xbox is still hot right now, you could probably end up with more than you paid if you were lucky. |
