PS2 Online Vs Xbox Live!

**Bowen747x** · 04-26-2005, 01:56 AM

the only games i have played for ps2 that are online is nfsu, socom 1 and 2, i loved socom but hated underground. well i recently have decided to get an xbox, the only games i have is doom 3, halo 2 and ninja gaiden. i was wondering exactly how i go about getting myself online, how the starter kit works, and if its worth being payed for compared to ps2 being free.

PLEASE dont start a console war, not the point here. i just want to know about xbox live as ive never done it before, compared to ps2 as i have played it before. also, what should be the next game i get for xbox, i like games with plots(i.e. fps, action/adventure, rpg) and good multiplayer(halo)

Well whats good about PS2 over Xbox Live, is that PS2 Online is Free. The thing Xbox Live has over Ps2 Online, is a bigger amount of people playing the game you want to play online.

PC owns them both and with charging for extras being the future of console gaming it looks as if it's going to stay that way

also with the diversity of pc's it looks like they'll never be able to rip us off for playing online.

playstation online is better because it's free

Ehh, with the right graphics card PC dominates in graphics. PC is the best for FPS, RTS, Puzzle, and ok for some RPGs.

Consoles are good for all the other genres.

Best bet is to get all 3 to enjoy gaming at the most.

IMO PC obviously owns the RTS gaming but... FPS are much better on the PC, but consoles are getting better, and i think the new release of consoles are geered more for having a mouse(due to online)so maybe consoles will take over FPS.

Agreed.

PS2 servers have been known to be laggy and not as good as Sony has to choip in to buy them but gets nothing out of them. Also XBConnect is free for Xbox.
