The X-Box loading times aren't any faster than PS2s - it just varies from game to game.

Well.. I dont know but games like Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid 2, Nightfire, Agent Under Fire.. etc etc... load so much faster on Xbox! Also we will be able to test GTA:3 and Vice city on xbox this november! :) GTA is coming to xbox... well both GTA games are coming in one package for $50.. the loadings are very very slow on Ps2.. I cant wait to compare it to xbox :)

For one, I think using MGS2 as an example doesn't work because it doesn't have ANY load times at all (hence one of the greatest features) except the obvious (loading games, etc).

I've compared many a game between XBox and PS2, and the only difference is this: MAX PAYNE has slighty better graphics on XBox. Other than that, I have noticed little difference. The load times on XBox's MAX PAYNE was still painfully long, and AGENT UNDER FIRE wasn't any better than the PS2 version.

Ok lets do this... you get your Ps2 with MGS2 and I get my xbox with MGS2, lets see who starts playing first :) The same for Max Payne.. on Ps2 it took over 30 seconds to load.. in xbox I could say 15. AUF had long loadings though.. in that one you could go get a drink fast and come back and youd be on time.. but Grand theft auto.. man that game takes sometimes like 5 minutes to load! Wel maybe 3...

Well, I can guarantee that we'd probably start at the same time;)

And GTA might take a minute or two to load at the beginning, but after that, load times are almost non-existant.

I have both games and I have tired turning them on at the same time.. Ps2 is like 45 seconds behind. Because when Xbox is already saying Konami about to display the video.. Ps2 is still saying 'PlayStation 2'

I have an X-box and a PS2 but I think I'll go for X-Box... Faster load times, in general....

As far as not being able to tell the difference in graphics... I have NF and AUF for XBOX, AUF for PS2, and my boyfriend has both for PS2 as well. (Yes, we love our Bonds. :)) I can tell a slight difference between the XBOX and PS2 with AUF, but I can definitely tell the difference with NF. You have to consider the quality of your TV. I have a 30-somthing inch Phillips, and I can tell the difference most of the time. On my boyfriend's new HUGE-A Mitsubishi (Jealous much? Why, yes.), the difference is verrrrry clear.

Its nice to get a woman's opinion :) Anyway the reason of why AUF looks almost the same is mainly because it is the Ps2 game running on xbox.. Nightfire was built for each console though. and yes I notice the differences a lot in Nightfire also.

Im going to get it on XBOX. It doesnt take as long to load missions and the graphics are always better on XBOX. The only platform that has better graphics is PC

I'm going to get the game on Xbox, because that is the console I can play it on. I wish they were going to release it on the computer.:)
