Is a PS2 slimline Better than a Old XBOX?

Question

I would like to know whether a Slimline PS2 is better than a Normal XBOX (Not 360)

Answer 1

I think from a home entertainment point of view, yes - it's a complete system straight out of the box, very slim (but then even the original PS2 was way smaller than the XBox), silent in operation, has built-in IR sensor for the DVD remote, and if you look after it there's no reason it shouldn't last you years and years. I still use my original PS2 despite many people complaining of drawer and laser malfunctions - I have always used mine vertically on a rock-steady surface (inside a TV cabinet) which may be the reason, a lot of people abuse theirs by having them on a carpet which can cause vibration and let the laser touch the disc surface. The slimline doesn't have a mechanical CD drawer, it's a flip up lid, so no chance of that old drawer problem occuring.

Answer 2

Better how? Graphically the Xbox beats the Ps2 into a cocked hat, and it also has the nifty custom soundtrack option, plus Xbox live is FAR superior to the PS2 online network... BUT, the Xbox is massive compared to the slimline and the PS2 is compatible with all Ps2 and PSOne games, which means you have thousands more games to chose from. I'd go with the Slimline PS2.

Answer 3

Definitely, especially if you want to play on-line. You can connect it straight to a router and you are away. It is so much smaller, and can play DVD's straight away whether you have a remote control or not. I had both kit's, plus the 1st PS2, I have sold the lot now, but the slimline was my favourite.

Answer 4

I think the xbox is BETTER than the slimline because of the graphics and the sound but the slimline is lighter than the xbox if you want to buy one of those two I recomend you to buy the xbox

Answer 5

the slim PS2s have alot of problems, the technology is just to small to try and fit into the slim PS2s. they get hot, they dont play perfectly working games, just because of an internal error, the CD drive has problems opening and closing, i see questions on here all the time "my slim PS2 stoped working! what do i do?" and honestly, unless you have a warranty on it, sony wont do crud for you. it such a widespread problem that it would be too expensive for sony to try and fix everything, so just like the PSP with the whole "dead pixel" thing, your screwed. they wont help you out. its the old xbox for me. i probably wont get a 360 for another couple years. the first batch that came out for last christmas were very unstable as well. they wouldn't always save your game properly and would also overheat.

Answer 6

NO WAY! Better games for xbox. And who the **** wants to play PSone games on a PS2?? Dude, c'mon. Custom soundtracks, Xboxlive, they got the cool controller for the movies, better controllers, xboxlive, better games, xbox live, better graphics, xboxlive. :D Basically XBOXLIVE!!

Answer 7

Obviously, the PS2 has far superior games and lots of them, The X-Box is crap in comparison.

Answer 8

xbox has better graphics, but is is giant and klunky
ps2 has all the games and it is smaller.....
id have to go for the ps2......but maybe its just because im used to the controller...

Answer 9

xbox kicks more *** than the ps2, because it has halo, and has internet that people play onj. And you dont have to continuously buy all of those stupid memory cards.
