Playstation 2 or X Box
Now that ive finally bitten the bullet and moved in with the missus, the 32" flat screen is now on its way.
do I compliment this with a PS2 or an Xbox?

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I'd go PS2 all the way mate, due to games are getting cheaper and fookin loads of em. X-Boxes are getting popular now though. Did have both but sold the X-Box.

''Now that I've finally bitten the bullet, and dumped the missus (for an older woman), I've treated myself to a 32'' flat screen bla bla bla.....''
PS2 and Xbox Are
don't think there's much in it.

The new PS2 is out november 1st, same price as current PS2 as well, you can pre order it on game.uk.com for 105 quid 
Meant to be quicker then the first one and a bit slimer.

I've just bought my Silver PS2 recently PURELY for GT4 to get a bit of 'ring' practice in!!
Am currently working through GT3 + F104 (came with the console) and am loving it after 4 years out of 'gaming'. So I would say PS2 purely for the GT series!

Porkie,
No mate, I've played PGR2 loads as my mate has an X-Box + it aint really that realisitc imo, as I would've thought someone who's been there would agree!
The speed you take through some of the bends it crazy, or perhaps I'm just too slow round 'the ring'!! 
The GT version looks loads better from the screen shots anyhow + I much prefer GT over PGR.

you dhould be able to get both for a little over £100, and if you get both chipped you'll never pay much for games, just cant go online with a chipped xbox unless you have the chip thats you can switch off.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Chips are easy to fit to either for playing 'backups'. Also a HDD can be added to PS2 and also upgraded easily on an XBOX. Good deals on chip fitting if you need it Dave
