    Thinking about trading in an Xbox

    So last night I was pondering what I should do with my new xbox. I ran through all the normal possibilities but then I started thinking about the new slim PS2. I've wanted one of those little guys ever since they came out. So right now I'm leaning towards trading my xbox for a slim PS2. What do you guys think I should do with the Xbox. If you agree with my idea, where do you think I could trade it for a slim PS2?

    Well, many factors:

    XBOX: Great build quality
    PS2: Shoddy build quality

    XBOX: Better games
    PS2: Shitter games

    Can't really spell it out any better than that :P

    Soft mod it and have all the fun in the world!

    However GT4 is better than anything on the Xbox. My thumb is changing shape becuase of it.

    Couldn't disagree more, The PS2's game library is in a completely different league to the Xbox's.

    exactly, I'd take the PS2 over Xbox any day, but you might want to look into the laser mod thingie, I forgot how exactly it is called.

    You'd probably just end up trading it to EB or Gamestop...(which funnily enough are one in the same now) ,they'll give you pennies for it, and you'll end up regretting it, saying "Gee, I miss those great Xbox games," BLAM! You go out and buy another Xbox. Don't do it.
    Death to Bill and Ted!

    I heard the slimlines suck ass. I'd just go for the regular version. I got my ps2 for $40 off ebay and fixed it easily. I'd look on ebay to see if any slimlines are cheap if you really want one I guess. I think trading in consoles is dumb since stores like EB Games rip you off royally.

    Damn guys. I have 2 xboxes. I'm not giving up MY xbox for another PS2. I have a brand new spare xbox that I want to trade in for a slim ps2.

    Sheesh.

    there are solderless adapters out but i dunno about the quality but if you arent shaking your xbox they should hold pretty good

    Do what I did. Buy an Action Replay, download a softmod package, and softmod it :). Since you have two Xboxs, you can use one for Live and the other for pretty much everything.

    Ahhh right, youv'e moved the goal posts...

    ...Now you have a spare Xbox, thats okay then do as you please as long as you still have one to use.

    ...How did chipping come into this thread!!!

    ...I know Paulo suggested it but I'm at a loss as to why!!!!!

    ...If you really feel that you have to go down that road, don't chip it, softmod it, it's far better, specially if you use 'Krayzies' installer and you keep your Xbox intact ;)
