Default Is getting an Xbox worthwhile??

If you are an RPG fan I would stick witha PS2, the rpg's for X-Box are pretty lame, and few and far between.

yeah but i was also going to get the DVD kit which is supposed to be superior to the in-built PS2 DVD, since i watch alot of movies quality is important. Also after RPG's, FPS is best and X-box has great FPS.......**** this is a hard decision.......

I have to agree with that. I have an xBox. We played Bauldar's Gate and it was okay, but not great. Finished the game on the hard setting in 20 hours.

I've seen DVD's played on both PS2 and xBox and I don't notice any appreciable difference in the viewing.

However, I do like the xBox, and contrary to what seems to be a popular complaint, IMO Halo is a great game!

xbx360 for teh win, GRAW2 is an amazing shooter and I would recommend it. Contrary to what was said before the Halo series IMO is the best rpg series evar!
