PS2 Or XBOX???

I have had a PS2 since they came out and have been nothing but happy with it. Have a big load of games have played the crap outta them. Stayed up all night with friends playing Tony Hawk. Never had a queation as to which concole I liked... that is until now.

I got a bonus check at work and was wondering what I could get myself for Christmas and not spend the whole thing on myself. I went into Gamestop and they had used XBOXes for $60. So I says to myself, self you should try on of them there XBOX thingys, there are some platform games you wanted to play, and I replies, self you are right. $98 later I leave with an XBOX and 5 games, wow thats not bad.

So what's the problem you ask? I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN THIS DECIEVED BY THE EVIL SONY EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!! XBOX stinkin rocks.

The load times are so fast. Here I am playing the game and wow the graphics are good... hmmmm no memorycard needed cause it has a hard drive, wow built in ethernet too, I had to buy a modem for my playstation oh I feel so violated.

Now the games, I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstien, Halflife 2, PGR 2, Ureal Tournament and Forza Motorsports Challenge. Played halflife and castle for awhile and then started up forza... holy smokes this games rox. I have played all of the Gran Turismo games and loved everyone of them, Forza is better. Better Graphics, Better gameplay, you can paint your car! put decals on it, and the XBOX controller with its trigger for the gas is way better than using the x button as the gas.

I will still keep my playstation cause I gots lots of games for it, mostly cause of guitar hero :) but when it comes time to buy a new console I will do a really close comparision before I buy one. But for now I think it will take me a longtime to go through the xbox games and man are they cheap now.

oh oh oh I almost forgot, since the xbox has a hard drive I can rip music into folders and have my own soundtracks for the games that have that feature, which forza does. How cool is that, I usually don't like the soundtracks to the games and have always thought it would be really cool to be able to play my own music and still have the games sound effects. Well guess what now I can

Heather says: Cool... Now Gabriel can teach you all he knows about it. You know today he played guitar hero at the neighbors house and he said to my neighbor, "My Grampa plays this game and he rocks at it! He can get really far." to which my neighbor replies, "Your Grampa must be a hipster" LOLOL

Gabriel was proud ;)
