XBox Defects Draw Ire

But the defects aren't the problem, the issue is lousy customer support from Microsoft's repair contractors, which is really what's more annoying to those who got defective units. Customer support has been giving out conflicting advice and some customers are having their support records lost."

The only one that makes me need a PS2 there, is GT 3. MGS2 and FFX will eventually come out for PC. MSG1 and FF 7 and 8 did. 9 will, I hear. I don't like ICO or frequency that much. And as for GT3 that's 1 game. And it's not worth the 300$ system.

Um? Is this a joke?

But there aren't any PS2 games that aren't available elsewhere that make the PS2 a must buy.

This has got to be a troll or just another GCN fanboy. Try the following unique games that are really great (and these are just the ones I've got):

• Twisted Metal Black
• Gran Turismo 3
• Klonoa 2
• Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
• Kinetica
• Jak and Daxter
• Ico
• Devil May Cry
• Frequency
• Final Fantasy X

Now how about the ones that are apparently will eventually be ported, but I already have them:

• Silent Hill 2
• Grand Theft Auto III
• Metal Gear Solid 2

This of course doesn't include some of the lesser titles, the upcoming titles, and the ones I don't have and didn't include (like SSX Tricky and THPS3, the latter of which I know is available on the GCN already).

Now, maybe you think some of these aren't worth it. Maybe. But for most of us, these are all great reasons to get a PS2.

I'm no Sony fanboy. I've already got a GBA, and as soon as some of the scheduled GCN titles arrive (Mario, Zelda, and some of the RPGs), I'm getting a GCN too.

But there's no way you're going to get my PS2.
