Traded Xbox for PS2
« on: May 21, 2002, 07:02:11 PM »
Just wanted to say hi to everyone here.

I traded my Xbox and games which I had since one week after launch for a new PS2 and GT3 which I pick up tomorrow.
IMO the Xbox is over-hyped and other than Halo and Rallisport Challange the games fall short on gameplay.

With poor Xbox sales in Japan and the UK combined with MS having to drop the price just six months after launch, the Xbox may just be the next Dreamcast. Consider me converted to PS2 and I can\'t wait to get it.

I could have done that but I just bought a car so money is tight until I figure out a thing called budgeting.
Actually in Canada the PS2 just dropped from around $450 CDN to $299 CDN and the games are around $70 and taxes. Still pricey and I was so let down by the Xbox it was better to get rid of it. BTW thanx for the welcome.

Your welcome!!

Anyway, I didn\'t know they were still so pricey up there...

I have a PS2 and Xbox...I almost traded my PS2 for GC about a month ago.  I\'m glad I didn\'t...GC is going down to 150$ and PS2 games are going down to 40$.  With the Greatest Hits line and a pretty good lineup of games, you made a good choice for now.

Maybe you can pick up an Xbox when it goes down in price and gets more games on it...

I can\'t believe I bought GT3 for $30. In my city a pack of 25 smokes is almost $10. The $10 price cut on games will hopefully apply to Canadians.

the Xbox may just be the next Dreamcast. - PS2Fanatic


And umm... what\'s wrong with that? Sure the Dreamcast was short lived.. but it was an excellent system by most gamer\'s standards. I don\'t really think any of the three companies out there now could have done so much with so little as Sega had.. and there\'s still a ton of top-notch games available only for it which people now are fighting and bickering against each other over whenever a certian console is confirmed to have one being ported.

The DC was a pretty damned good system in and of itself. To be compaired to it by any of the three consoles out (Game & Gameplay wise) I would think is an honor.

I have played games on the Dreamcast system. My intent was not to say anything negative about it. All I was saying is that I paid about $1000.00 CDN for my Xbox and games and if I didn\'t trade it I would have probably ended up with a $1000.00 DVD player as the Xbox will more than likely go under. BTW I pick up my PS2 in 3 hours. YESSS

Just look at the Xbox history

-Xbox launches in North America with some defective consoles and poor customer service.

-Games like WWF Raw, Shrek, Wreckless, NBA Inside Drive, and others all look good but are huge disappointments in terms of gameplay.

-Xbox launches in Japan and bombs. Some consoles scratch CD\'s.

-Xbox launches in the UK and sales are poor.

-Seamus Blackley leaves MS. He was there from day one. The reason given is that he started a gaming company with others.

-Xbox lowers the price in Japan and the UK. Just after launch.

-Xbox lowers the price in North America six months after launch.

Through all of this the PS2 continues to outsell the Xbox by a huge margin. MS is spending about one billion $ on online gaming. Question is will people be willing to pay for it and will MS screw this one up too. I don\'t consider this to be Xbox bashing as of of this has happened.

I\'m going to get Gran Turismo 3 first. Then Fifa 2002. I like mostly sports games. I have to build up my game library again slowly. I had 5 Xbox games that I traded in with my console, and $50 DVD remote. All for a new PS2 and GT3.

I had Rallisport Challange but GT3 is supposed to be better as it is deeper.
