Which Version: 360 or PS2?

[twobells]

Hey All

First question: Does PSU support xbox 360 live voice chat?
If not is there any reason to buy the 360 version as I have heard that the PS2 graphics seem the best according to most reviews so why spend nearly twice the amount?

Second Question: Must I do all my chatting via a keyboard like in the DC version?

Many thanks in advance

PS2 graphics are best? That's the first time I heard that all week. o.o;

The 360 supports voice chat. *nodnod*

IGN Source "As for the graphics, they look dated. The 360 version was particularly disappointing as it blurred out significant portions of the background, making it seem like the air had somehow attained an aqueous aspect. Framerate issues plagued the X360 version, with action slowing to a painful crawl with surprising regularity. Each character's fingers were poor as well, looking more like steak fries than multi-jointed digits. Visuals looked most comfortable on the PS2, as the Xbox 360 seemed more like a high resolution and extremely blurry version of it. There were also a few AI behavioral discrepancies. Several times during boss battles our party members would veer away from the fight and run into a fence, or stand totally motionless, dropping the entirety of the burden of battle on us. We're hoping these issues can get worked out before the game launches this fall.

And... ummm... how would you be paying nearly twice the amount for the 360 version? It's only $10 more.

LOL millionth time this question has been posted, try using search. 360 graphics are FAR better than PS2, so if you have both systems it's a no-brainer.

Get the 360 version if you simply MUST have better graphics. Also if you prefer voice chat.

Get the PS2 version if you prefer to type (like myself, although I am getting the pc version).
Get the PS2 version if you already have a PS2 and dont want to waste the money on a 360.

Its £29.99 for the ps2 and £49.99 for the 360 version.
But its great to hear that you can use the xbox live voice chat!

Ah. Didn't know that the price differed that greatly in the UK. That's very odd indeed.

Voice chat worked great in the beta, by the way. There's no voice chat in the lobbies, but once you're in a party, you can voice chat with your party no matter where they may be. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif You can even voice chat... with the dead! Spooky!

I'm glad i pre'd the 360 version jsut for the ability to chat with pc and 360 owners, so chatting with ps2 owners involves the virtual kb?

360 is on seperate servers, but the 360 version can play with UK and UK. PC/PS2 is connected to each other but not the UK (I believe).

Nope, the FAQ on the site says that US/UK players will be able to play together on PC/PS2.
