Grrr..looks like a PC upgrade is ruled out 4 now 4 me.
I'll have 2 try going 4 a console.
And well this PS2 vs XBox thing looks exactly like thos nVidia-ATI shooouts - noone wins in the end. :roll:
I'll be more specific..I want DOOM III, desperately at that, and HL2 when it comes out. I know that the perf will be less on both the m/c's compared 2 a high-end PC, but who's gonna buy a high-end PC anyway...
I'm looking at a control sys that mirrors the PC..I'll be playing FPS'es and Sports sims..primarily, and RPG hybrids like Deus Ex. I heard that the XBox was better for FPS'es..how? Is it the controls? The XBox is better technically which means the CPU-GPU combo I guess. While the PS2's got a wider game line-up..quite a lot of them being PS2 exclusives...like Metal Gear Solid. And what is the cost of each one like?
Can I hook up either of them 2 my PC monitor? Does the output res of each plateau out at 640x480 or does it get better as the monitor/TV support res goes up?
Plz suggest where I can buy a PS2 or XBox in Chennai, which shld of coz support the 'unofficial' game CD's as well
And plz don't talk abt PS3/XBox 2 unless it's gonna be out this Dec or next Jan.
BTW: When is D3 for the PS2/XBox coming out? Can the PC game CD's be played on a console?? Mmmmm..guess not. I'm desperately asking such q's bcoz I promised a dealer that I was gonna buy D3 from him!!! And now I can't...FOOLISH ME!
