Xbox 360

I am trying to decide to go Splurge on an Xbox 360 or to just get a PS2... I need a DVD player, and either of them will work, I dont play many games but I LOVE online games.. Does the Xbox 360 online service make it worth it? I want to play this PSU game with my little brother back home in order to keep in touch better, and he def cant get a 360, only a PS2.. I love Guitar Hero, and I dont see that out for 360.. but I dont see a point in buying an old System..so why should I buy a 360 is the main ordeal here ..

just a compliation of thoughts if anyone could help me out

id say family comes first. im not a big fan of ps2's online. xbox360's online is amazing with all the content downloads, but family is more important than anything

Keep in mind my brother is 11... and I havent even told him I want him to play PSU yet

I agree, just get a PS2 for now and get the 360 later. Sony expects the PS2 to linger on for 5 more years or so, so you don't have to worry about not finding new content. Then when the price for the 360 drops you can buy that. Right now I find myself buying more PS2 games anyways even though I have both. I don't know what your game preferances are but if you're like me you'll stare dissapointedly at a rack of sports games and first person shooters every time you go looking for a new game with the 360. Without the PS2 to fall back on I'd be pretty screwed.

Just get the PS2 then. The 360's online is overhyped anyways. And for a good while to come still you will be getting a finely polished machine in the PS2 where as say, my 360 delights in overheating within 5 minutes of starting in a well ventilated area. And then you play games such as BF 2 on it and are constantly disconnected due to EA's horrible servers. Its really not worth the even smaller sum than the PS3 will be asking. The 360 will just be a lot of headaches for you in the long-run.

well you have to see that the ps2 has been out for a long time while the 360 has not even been out a year. so there are alot more ps2 games to choose from. but i dont play my ps2 anymore. i will when ffxii drops but until then im on the 360 for it is more to my liking.

and ive had my 360 since launch day and use it in a non ventilated area and it has never overheated, froze, or mess up in any way

360 hands down best choice....u wont be playin wit ur brother anyways...because one of you is gonna be better and higher lvl than the other...so it wont matter

Well do you plan to play any games on the 360? Cause to fork ove rliek $500 bucks to play 1 game is insane but the 360 is way better than the ps2 hands down. The ps2 controller sucks,grpahics sucks, i hate the online...i just really dislike the ps2 lol.
