okay, im really not a gamer, i still have Playstation 1 hooked up so its time to upgrade to something from this century LOL

Im guessing either Playstation 2 or Xbox. I went to a video store for the first time yesterday at the mall and was fuckin around with the Xbox they had hooked up, pretty decent graphics on it. But I also liked the PS2.

Which system is better to get & better for non-gamers to get used to??

AND....

which game is a good game to get that is fun but not that hard to play for a non-gamer??

xclusive · 01-02-2005, 10:55 AM

you would do better with the gamecube if you want really fun games that are deep but simple to get into...

Hey this is off subject but I'm in Milwaukee a LOT because I come to visit my kids. In fact, I'm driving to Milwaukee tomorrow. I didn't even know that there were any gfy webmasters around milwaukee. I'll be staying in the brown deer area off of silver spring road. I won't have time to meet you this time around because I'm just coming to drop off my kids but maybe when I spend more time there we can have a drink or something.

Hit me up on icq at 120-838-664 and I'll give you my cell number. If you don't want to call, I'll understand. Calling a strange man from a messageboard would take some cahones anyway.

Peace

and get the xbox...you can hook it up for xboxlive.

I'd go with an Xbox, especially because of Xbox Live.

candyflip · 01-02-2005, 11:15 AM

I've got them all and the XBox is the only one that gets any play these days.

I got a modded one and it's 10 times as fun.

Babagirls · 01-02-2005, 11:17 AM

Xbox gettin a lot of votes.....cool

Thanks everyone!

feN · 01-02-2005, 11:58 AM

Yea, get a modded X Box.. you can also rip DVDs and shit

Gor for a modified xbox.

Gateway69 · 01-02-2005, 12:05 PM

I woudl go with the xbox and hack it.. best $200 i ever spent..

play old arcade games on your xbox : MAME
play the old laser disc games on your xbox
tones of emulators, c64, nintendo etc.
and the best reason of all to have a xbox and hack it is
XBMC (Xbox Media Center)
screen shots.. http://www.xboxmediacenter.de/info_screens.htm

blow away any lame ass pc that you have hooked to your TV to watch
and listen to video or audio content!

I do have both tho, mainly to play GTA: San Andreas.. but thats coming to the xbox as well this year..

new gadgets to look out for is Sonys PSP.. http://psp.ign.com

pxxx · 01-02-2005, 12:05 PM

most of the time it depends on the games that you like playing, because sometimes you might like a game, but they only have it forone of those systems.

NaughtyRob · 01-02-2005, 12:07 PM

XBox if only for the fact that you don't need a fucking memory card. The hard drive rocks.

Babagirls · 01-02-2005, 01:44 PM

i was doin some research on both systems (xbox and ps2), not much difference in price or graphics but xbox looks like it offers a shit load more than ps2 does...

that xbox LIVE thing looks pretty cool, im tryin to find out how much it is to have that hooked up.

Theo · 01-02-2005, 01:46 PM

Fifa 2005!!

Sosa · 01-02-2005, 01:48 PM

just remember alot of that xbox stuff is only if you mod the system... XBOX live also costs so much per month as PS2 Online is free. I like my PS2 a lot better.

see, i dont need all that mod shit. i just wanna play a game on a game console that doesnt have the graphics of pac man LOL

i poped in GTA into my PS1 last night and was like "Oh my, these graphics suck ass, time to update!" lol

i think i played my PS1 once a year. just need a simple system that i can play without getting confused. the PS2 controller is exactly the same as PS1's which would make it easier for me to play games. im not a big gamer person.

NickPapageorgio · 01-02-2005, 02:58 PM

Xbox is all that gets played here. Well except for CS & HL2. That's on the PC.

TheFrog · 01-02-2005, 03:00 PM

PS2 has a great game catalog and also supports your PS1 games, so that might be of interest to you. I havent met anyone who hasnt been able to pick up games like GTA in a few minutes and start having fun, although for sheer gameplay something like a Gamecube might be better (Nintendo's games always seem to be the most original).

TheMob · 01-02-2005, 03:34 PM

wait for the xbox 2

ya know, i was playing Super Mario Bros. with my niece last week, and i had forgot how much i liked playing those games cuz they're not TOO easy and the levels are beatable, which is perfect for a non-gamer LOL

CrazyLunatic · 01-02-2005, 03:50 PM

If you've never checked out PC games you can get alot for free at sites like Filefront and File Planet. And there are alot of non-gamer's games you can play on line too.
