LOL, I knew it was a mistake saying that you could always expect quality with Microsoft. I withdraw the statement. I dont own a whole lotta MS stuff but what I own has worked well...most of the time . And this thread was meant to be a discussion on the pros and cons of the X Box and PS2. So far Ive found it rather enlightening, thanks for all the input guys and gals. But bottom line I was happy with my PS2 and now im happy with my X Box, in the end I suppose thats what it comes down to, as long as you can say you had fun with the machine and it wasnt a waste of money, it was a good experience. I just rented Jedi Outcast and Phantom Crash for my X Box, JO is an outstanding game so far, haven't broken into PC yet. And also to the person that said that PS2's arent made to break and if they do that means you mistreated it. I assure you I did NOT mistreat my PS2, I cherished the damn thing. Never played it for too long at a time, never through it around or anything. When I traveled with it I used a protective carrying case. Maybe I just had a case of bad luck and got a bum system who knows. But the fact that I know 2 other people who had the same problem with theirs kinda argues against the bad luck scenario dont you think. Also I dont want ppl thinking I got rid of my PS2 just to get an X Box. The fact that my memory card unformatted itself over night somehow (Lost all my game saves , didn't feel like going through and unlocking things again in my games, rendering them worthless now) and the fact that the controllers couldn't handle my temper were all contributing factors to my selling it off.
