Hmmmm.... I have a choice to make this month....
I can get a X-Box with Halo this month (I've been playing the game for a couple of months with a borrowed console) for AU$349.
On the other hand I can get a Ping Titaniun TiSi 11.5 degree driver for NZ$649 (limited stock) to replace my venerable Stainless Mizuno 12 degree.
I can't get both, so I'm open to suggestions on what I should buy...

Halo isn't that great and quite easy to beat so i'd go with the other if I knew what it was.
Why do you have an X Box anyhow? Go out and buy a real system like PS2

Snowie-Sure Halo is great, but a whole X Box isn't worth it.

It could cerntianly use some HP. But then $350 wouldn't get you much, to make it worth while you would need to spend 10x more.
I would get the Golf Club, sounds like you'll get much more use out of it, its a lot healthier, and will probobly last a lot longer than an X-Box.
Besides which you already have a borrowed X-Box, just use it for as long as you can, and if you really really like it, then play golf for the summer and buy an X-Box next winter when the price will have come down 50%.

Get the XBOX with HALO and OUTLAW GOLF.
That way you can play golf without even getting the driver.

Sony people don't exist anymore. only XBOX people survived the Console War.
Oh wait......what's that I hear????
SONY sucks cause it doesn't have an online console gaming system setup!!!!! :flipa: :flipa: :flipa:
I love how when a commerical for a game comes out and it always ends with the big PS2 screen flashing up. Yet the whole commerical was using the visually superior XBOX's version of the game!
XBOX rules the world. it is getting GT3, Metal Gear Solid 2, and already has 007

I'm a Sony guy, the graphics on the PS2 are already good enough that I often can't tell a "superior" Xbox screenshot when I see one, and there are WAY more games than the Xbox, plus the Xbox doesn't have Gran Turismo or Tokyo Xtreme Racer. I VERY highly doubt Xbox is getting GT3, since.. 1. The game is already old and anybody who wants to play it has already long bought a PS2, GT3 and long beaten the game or close, and 2. Gran Turismo is made by a Sony-sub company, marketed by Sony, why would they support Microsoft, and 3. Sony would just be shooting themselves in the foot by releasing GT3 on a competitive system, the Gran Turismo series is like their main asset, and I can't see them giving it up...

Sorry....I meant Sega GT2.
Anyways, the PS2 has been out longer than XBOX....they have have time to produce all the games.
Sega has signed a deal with XBOX, so all those great games on the short lived Dreamcast will be coming out on XBOX.
Just wait for Unreal Championship or Halo 2 to come out....XBOX sales will go through the roof
XBOX also just had its first national HALO tournament. I don't see playstation doing that.
not to mention XBOX LIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly...
The PING TiSI is a titanium golf driver and yes it is a 'very good' one.
My membership is coming up again soon and I want to get back on the course more regularly this year to reduce my stroke index (ie what used to be called handicap). And after sending golf balls into semi-orbit last night on trial I am keen.
Secondly...
I don't have a PS2 nor the X-Box but I have played both consoles. I had to give the X-Box back this week.
Thirdly...
I have the company digi-cam (which I don't really like using as I am a chemical film luddite) and will shoot some shots tonight for Heep.
Fourthly...
As for spending $350 on the car - I'm spending much more than that paying it off at present and it's only done 10,000kms so I want to run it in. I've also decided that I don't really need HP as it is a good touring car at present. If I want to get the adrenaline I'll get a ride in the race-car which the owner (ie NOT me) is working feverishly @ going faster so we can get to race at the Boost Mobile in a supporting class.
Whew - now I need to get back to the day job.

You might have to wait another day... Maria left me the digicam with it turned on and the lcd panel active so it's now got no juice.
Bloody digital cameras - give me an SLR with some ASA100 film and a tripod.
I'll charge the lil Sony up and make sure I get myself organised tomorrow... I could do with a ladder though hmmmm....

But the PS2 is still by far the better consol than XBOX. Which has an online gaming ablity comparable to the PS2. i.e. the software and modem required to use it have yet to be released. :finger:
Quite simply Sony allow anyone to build games for the PS2, and activly help any company that wants to. In fact they encourage game developers to write games for the Play Station.
MicroSoft on the other hand are keeping everything totaly in house. And although it has slightly better graphics than the PS2 the game selection will always be VERY limited, and will all draw heavily on having good graphics at the expense of good game play.
The PS2 however will always be open to developers with some imagination and an ablity to create some truely orginal games. Games which have a huge focus on Game play, and so a playable life and enjoyment factor far above any of the crap made for the Xbox.

Decided to buy the driver as it will make me go and actually play (sunshine and exercise) during summer just as soon as I finish skiing on weekends (or more correctly think about skiing while working in weekends).
I think I'll wait a while on the X-Box vs PS2 and see how things pan out. thanks for the feedback and discussion...

I prefer the PS2 mostly because of the controllers. I've gotten used to the feel of it and the XBox one just doesn't "feel" right. I like the games for the XBox quite a bit and its a sharp as hell console, but that bulky controller is whats stopping me from getting one.

For those of you with small hands(snicker) XBOX makes a smaller controller. It's the controller S, one similar to the one sent to Japan for all of the japanese lacking in that certain area(LOL).
Also, if you still have a hard on for the PS controller, there is an adapter that lets you use it on the XBOX.

Sorry, I meant to take photos but have been busy in the foxhole working out how to manoeurve (ie I've been finishing the analysis on the company results and have been spending way way too long here).
I did take some shots the other day but the lighting was poor (it was at night) so I will get onto it soon.
Besides I just spent $200 on the dentist today (that makes $450 for the month) - my face was numb now it has been replaced by a dull ache.
