Playstation II or X-box?

[Kalpana]

I am clueless but I am sure this will be the perfect gift for my bro's sixteenth birthday (by the way, he is a leap year baby, so this is his fourth real birthday). This gift has got to be special and a surprise so I don't want to come out and ask him which he wants. I did have a playstation II discussion with him today, and he told me he liked sports games (he is a sports fanatic) and adventure games (I think). So can you guys give me some advice as to which I should get for him.

xbox + modchip + "goodies" = heaven

 

[MournSanity]

Xbox+Some ESPN Sports games+Knights of the old republic+Prince of persia. Oh, and Halo if you have the $$$.

He would enjoy those most likely.

In a race for glory, x-box avenges his father's death in soviet russia.

See Kalpana, this is where something called a "poll" comes in handy.

Now where's me poll, Kalpana?!

Oh, btw, I vote for the XBox as well . . ..

If microsoft didn't make it ,I would vote Xbox, but they do so I will vote SuperNES because it is a better system.

Blasphemy for not including PGR2! :|

Xbox's online implementation is far superior to the PS2's. And online play is really makes sports games special.

(Btw, I own both a PS2 and an Xbox. The Xbox gets used about 20:1 over my PS2 (or my PC, for that matter.)

wow really

I have played playstation II and it seems pretty cool. Why is xbox so much better? And do you guys know where I should look to buy it? New or used?

New and used is almost the same price. You can get a new one for like 155. Check chubby wallet or the hot deals forums here. In the forsale forums here, you can probably find the xbox for like 130.

For the xbox, you can mod it, play emulated snes, playstation, genesis, nintendo, and many other roms. A nice 5.1 hd ready dvd player too. With the mod and a hard drive, its great because you can turn it off and on from the controller, reset it, never ever get up from your comfy chair because you can load all your games on the hd and never worry about swapping discs.
