X Box heave ho-welcome home PS2

[tannat]

I'm about to do something I never thought I would, but now its been justified.

Received an XBox as a gift about 8 years ago, but it has reached its end (in my eyes) in providing entertainment with its relatively narrow race sim range as compared to the PS2.

Plus, the PS2 has the added benefit of being able to play all of the "old school" PS1 games I like (CMR2, TOCA1/2, Mobil 1 Rally Championship).

So while I will only lightly miss Rallisport Challenge 1 and 2 (X Box specific)...

I look forward to embracing Le Mans 24 Hours, WRC (NTSC version), SBK 07/08, and everything else of which I am not aware....

save a bit more and buy a PS3 instead!

The PS2 has reached its limit and I doubt we will see much more new games on it

I can probably get a PS2 and a fair number of games for what I hope to get for my X Box + games (about $110).

Too big of a leap to the PS3 and the PS3 game prices...

Yes, yes, yes-they are available

Look on e blah and you should find them all without too much trouble (Mobil 1 will be slightly tricky).

I agree save some money and buy a PS3. IMHO out of the current generation of consoles it has the better longlivity potential so it should be around for a while.

The PS2 is still holding on with new games still coming out. some games, like the EA Sports series of games will probably continue to support the PS2 for years. Most developers will stop making games for it though.

I appreciate the PS3 nudges, but big diff between PS2 and PS3:

PS2 games $

PS3 games $$$$$


I'll step up to PS3 when the games are $

I've got the le Mans 24 Hours game, i found it ok, but you don't get damage and the cars are too easy to control on the hardest level. But it is fun doing the 24 hour races, that's what i find makes the game enjoyable.

Tannat, you absolutely must get WRC4, don't waste your time with the rest! 1 & 2 were ok, 3 was good, and Extreme (5 basically) just didn't have enough stages, only 3 per country and the retirement rate was bad plus the graphics were stupid like rock falls from mountains etc which real rally drivers wont face cos the stage would be cancelled. WRC4 has the best of everything, all the cars, 6 stages per country but of decent length, super specials, S1600, PCWRC, extreme cars, plus close rallies and really great handling and probably the 2nd best graphics after GT4. Of all the PS2 games I've bought this is the one I've spent the most on. Its not in the RBR league of realism but its definately more challenging and rewarding than the CMR series.
