Please give me your opinion on what system is better. I have a PS2 and my brother has the X-Box. We like them both. Please help. Thanks.

I have answered this question so many times. Here is the answer I gave about an hour ago to the same question, hope it helps:
Both are good for different reasons. The 360 has the best online community and gameplay available. Xbox Live just keeps getting better and better.
The 360 does have an external HD DVD drive to play HD DVDs on for an additional 200 dollars, but Microsoft has no plans to start releasing their games on the high def disks. Why bother with the dvd drive in my opinion? I do not buy gaming consoles to watch movies, I buy them to play games.
If you want to talk about hardware, the PS3 wins hands down; it is just capable of so much more than the 360 and the next year or so will show that. You also have the Blu Ray drive built in which is a HUGE advantage for the PS3. No so much in the ability to watch Blu-Ray movies (as a gamer I don't care much about watching movies on my playstation) but the fact that developers now have 50 gigs of space available to them on one double layer Blu Ray disk. Combined with the custom Cell processor, the PS3 games will be the best looking, sounding and will have the most content of any console games we have seen.
Right now the look of games is about the same on the 360 and PS3 but in a year or so the PS3 games will be noticeably better.
I am a fan of games, not a fanboy of either Microsoft or Sony, so I will have both very soon. The Wii is a last generation system and not even worth discussing.
by the way, DON'T make any kind of decision based on one game franchise, especially Halo. What kind of dummy spends 400 dollars to play an overrated first person shooter? If you must stick to only one console, do some research and choose the one with the MOST games you like.

There is actually a head-to-head comparison on Gamespot.com. They tested how the opening line up of games look on the Ps3 compared to the xbox, and surprisingly the xbox looked better. I understand that this is the very first games for the Ps3 but still. There is one thing that's pretty cool that I wish the 360 had and that would be the motion sensitive controllers, but all in all I think I would go with the 360.
First off the 360 is cheaper and still looks good, secondly it has a really good selection of games coming in 2007(including Halo 3). The online multiplayer is amazing on the 360 and all the media options are great. Lastly I think the 360 is just more for your money, and if you end up buying one get it from somewhere like a Bestbuy or something and Buy the Extended Warranty, I have a couple friends whos xboxes broke, trust me a $30 warranty will save you a lot of trouble just in case something would happen.

well it really is your preference. But weigh the factors out and I would advise the xbox360. Microsoft really did a decent job on the new model. I have had mine for about 6 months and really no problems. There are plenty of games available for the unit and accessories. Currently they are in stock everywhere you go.
Sony made a major screwup with there units and supply is non existant. While demand is very high for the unit but going down as people are a little disgusted with what sony did.
Basically get the xbox and some games and sit back and enjoy while you hear about more people gettting shot or robbed for there ps3.

I would recommend the Xbox 360. I have it and I love it, it is amazing how you can connect to your computer and stream music and videos. Also the graphics are awesome, and its good for music. And I also recommend buying Halo 2 as long as you get the $400 360, or the harddrive at least.
