michael, the PS2 and the XBOX are both equal. Both has pros and cons but at the end of the day, both machines are equal.

[michael_jii]

yh i spose, ps2 has a wider selection of games, and a better controller, xbox has xbox live, and better graphics, and more multiplayer options,

sorry about my narrowmindedness

PS2 has a internet capability (which is free) and I don't think that the graphics are superior. Both I think are equal on that.

One downfall for XBOX is that they don't have (yet) a great variaty of gmes, like with PS2 they have GTA, Final Fantasy Metal Gear Solid, SOCOM and the like; XBOX only has Halo, which is the only game that I hear from XBOX users. Halo was on the PC first... not an XBOX orginial.. GTA just been released on XBOX, again not XBOX original.. Most of the best games are on the PS2 hands down.

Doesn't Xbox have Killswitch, Max Payne 2, etc. I know it has KotOR which was named RPG of the year. Excellent game. It's going to have Jade Empire, which will be another Xbox exclusive title from Bioware, and looks to be an excellent game. I'm tempted to buy an Xbox just for that. After going through this thread though...I have to say, I'm thinking more and more you'd be better off with an Xbox, or if you're looking for a cheap system, a Gamecube.

Thanks!

speedo, I'm not sure what your message is about, but I can tell you that SONY repaired my machine at no charge (other than to ship it to them). My machine was 2 years old. Since this is a common issue I think SONY is doing the repair for free because of a design fault.

As for your question in the Title Bar, yes, but it can damage the lens in the long run. Universal CD Cleaners will do the job.

::attack::

[ghost1]

and i just bought psi-ops yesterday and i cant play gerrrrrrrrrrrrr
sooooooooooooooevillllllllllllllllllllllll
ugh
i want to play my new game and this isnt helping!

[Couriant]

Ask yourself the following:

1) Does your PS2 play PS1 games?
2) Does your PS2 play PS2 games?
3) Does your PS2 play DVDs?
4) Does your PS2 play audio CDs?

there was a worldwide problem with the Playstation2s where it would stop playing games (my problem was it wouldn't play PS2 games or DVDs) for no reason. SONY should repair it for free.

Try this LINK to learn how to take care of your read disk error problem.

It worked for me.

Is you PS2 lying flat or standing up? If I stand mine up I have problems playing some games and DVD movies, lay it flat and never have another problem.

Ignore all the cheap "quick Fixes" they dont work..or at least for long call sony they will have you mail it to them and send you a fixed one--no questions asked--they are VERY aware of the problem, i dont understand why people are not taking advantage of this---new ps2 or putting tape on every cd...hmmmm

[sarah12]

I have been having problems with the ps2 not reading the disks it keeps telling me either that it can't read the disk or I need to insert a playstation / playstation2 format disk does anyone kno what that is?
