Sony will launch the PS2 Hard Disc Drive (HDD) with storage capacity of 40Gb (more than your average PC memory). This will slot neatly into the expansion bay at the rear of the PS2. The HDD will enable your machine to store huge amounts of internet download data – SAVES, UPGRADES, MUSIC, VIDEOS and even whole new GAMES. In due course Sony plan to make a price range of smaller and no doubt larger HDDs.
However, in the UK only a Broadband Unit will be offered (not an analogue Modem) separately for about £40 starting mid 2003, or as part of a package deal with the Hard Disc Drive at a price of £120.
The PS2 Hard Disc Drive (HDD) designed to retro fit simply and neatly into the expansion bay at the rear of the PS2.

Let's get this straight, add-ons don't mean much. People will write games for the base machine only as it reaches the main market for a machine, not the niche few who have spent EXTRA MONEY for a piece of kit. More software will appear on X-Box this year (unless there is an exclusivity deal) as more X-Boxes are in people's homes now, software houses will not ignore this fact of demand and supply.
Hardware, X-Box is better by a far way. The graphics are simply better than the PS2 can produce, The Getaway is a good game but it looks pretty mediocre for 2003, graphically. The X-Box also loads a lot quicker thanks to the Hard drive and more memory, it is a bigger box though but is a newer machine (the PS2 being quite a bit older now).
That said, I suggest you ignore everything above!!!
Just look at the software available, see what you like and then see what machine it is available on. Make your decision based on the software you want not the hardware it sits on.

The graphics on the xbox is nice for a while.. but once you get used to good graphics you realise that it's gameplay that matters.
Always has been.. Always will be.
And with games like MGS2 , Gran Turismo 3, Final Fantasy X , GTA:Vice , Soul reaver 2 +++
The xbox simply can't compete.
I bought xbox 3 months ago thinking it was good shit.
And it was... For about a week when I was knee deep in halo.
But then I finished halo and was about to buy a new game. went down to the store, and that was when it occured to me. THERE ARE NO GAMES WORTH MY MONEY!!!
The xbox sucks. The only reason I'm not regretting buying the xbox is that Doom 3 is coming on it. That game looks like it's gonna be good shit.
And while some of you may disagree that the games I listed aren't good. Think about this.. There are at least 3 times the amount of games available for the ps2 as for the xbox.
Every time I enter a store I see A BIG wall covered with PS2 games and a little shelf with xbox games... Hell. They often have more ps1 games than xbox games.
Not to mention how cheap Microsoft is. Requiring you to purchase a remote to be able to play dvds and an extra scart cable to allow for Digital out.
Oh and just so you know.
Newer games for the ps2(GTA:vice to name one) support multichannel sound(DTS)
So xbox no longer has any lead on the ps2 in that arena. So There
PS: I saw in a sales chart that they are selling twice as many ps2 units as xbox and gamecube put together in australia...
In japan they are actually selling more psones than xboxes(but that's japan.. xbox was doomed in japan from the beginning)

well to me speed and memory is better and the ps2 is no match in speed and memory for the xbox has both; a faster processor, more ram and faster videocard with more memory than the ps2. the money i spent on the xbox is worth it. the time is coming when there are more available games for the xbox this year so just wait. it was just like when the ps1 first came out with less games to choose from and i have tried the ps2 too. the japs are good but the yanks are better.

PS3 processor will be at least 1000 times faster than PS2,and the latter was out before X-box so you cant compare the two.
Btw,X-box 2 will be released around the same time as PS3.(early 2005) :-)

Go for the PS2. They have realesed loads of games to it, you will for sure find many games that you like. The Xbox, its cheaper, atleast here in sweden, but you dont have to much to choose betwen. The only game Xbox owners mention is Halo when they talking about how great and mighty theyr (ugly)box are.
