PS2!! Smaller console and controllers plus better games IMO - Socom, Socom 2, Grand Theft Auto (all of them)!!

I have a RELIABLE contact in San Diego who can mod X-box and PS2 if anyone is interested.

hard choice. Xbox has better games, but the PS2 has that really small version.

difference is that you cant really install a hard drive into a ps2. you can get a modchip that will allow you to play backups and import games. but thats about it.

with an xbox you can install whatever size hard drive you want along with a modhip or to flash it. theres other mods too like led light mods, case and controller mods, etc. i have a 160gb hard drive that i can burn and backup games to along with an xecuter 3 modchip. i have my xbox on my wireless network and when im on my xbox dashboard/media center i have shoutcast playing di.fm streams. i have like 80 games on my xbox. all you gotta do is get a months pass for blockbuster or hollywood video and just rent all the games you want. and the wireless controllers are sick too!

Hard Choice...

PS2 = Grand Theft Auto and Gran Turismo

Xbox = Halo!!!

The new slim version of the PS2 is awesome because i comes with a free nework adaptor etc. but id get the Xbox just for Halo/Halo 2. Oh yea... Xbox live and Wireless controllers are a must!
