Xbox or PS2 or PSP?

[shadowforte]

Well, I am at a stand still. I have $200 to blow, and I am stuck on 3 systems. Here are my Pros/Cons for them:

Xbox:

+ Tons of Star Wars love
+ Halo and Half Life 2
- Ugly as heck
- Not many good RPG's

PS2:

+ Tons of great RPG's
+ I can get most games I want for $5
- No good FPS games

PSP:

+ PS1 in the palm of my hand
- Not a lot of games out for it I like.

XBox has more RPGs than people think.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2
Jade Empire
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (GOTY)
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2
Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes
A Bard's Tale

Most of which are 10 bucks or less. However, if you're looking for sheer quantity, you're right that PS2 has a boatload of RPGs.

As far as FPSs goes, don't forget the Far Cry and Medal of Honor serieses for Xbox.

You may also want to consider if you want more multiplayer games. In that case, I'd recommend Xbox.

Get a PS2. You won't regret it. It has way more great games than the other two systems combined.

PS2 has plenty of good FPS games. Allow me to list some:

Half Life (WITH USB MOUSE AND KEYBOARD SUPPORT!)
Any of the Timesplitters games
Red Faction (the first one)
XIII
Tribes: Aerial Assault
Black
Killzone

The PS2 has a lot of FPSes that are also on the Xbox like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty.
It has all the GTA games.
Silent Hill series.
Metal Gear Solid.
GOD OF WAR!!!

All good games there. I've had many years of fun with the PS2.

It's been a while since I owned an Xbox and I can't really remember many games on it. Racing games are much better on the Xbox than the PS2 because of the analogue triggers. Despite having analogue buttons, Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 is very much "on/off" in terms of acceleration and braking. I'm thinking of picking an Xbox up now that GAME are selling them for £20 used. I'm also thinking of getting a Gamecube again now that they're £20-30 depending on what game bundle you get.

Ummm how many of those are exclusives?

If you have 200 bucks get an Xbox lot AND a PS2, you could probably do it.
Then all you have to worry about in the future is picking up the games which arte pretty much leveling out it seems.

for sheer volume go with the PS2. plus you can still get a new system.

Well today I picked up Advent Rising, Need For Speed Most Wanted, and SSX3. This will keep me happy until next Friday, when I will get a PS2. BTW, is it worth it to get Kotor 1 if you beat Kotor 2?

Absolutely, in fact KOTOR 1  is leagues better than two in many different ways.

[phoenix1967]

KOTOR 1 ROCKS!!!

[shadowforte]

So says all of my friends. Well It looks like I will be picking it up.

[Tondog]

Get Psychonauts first.
