Gamepro has conducted an updated feature in which they grade all the consoles currently available, just like as if they were sat in class. They conclude that the overall winners are the Xbox 360 and the PS2. The PS2 is very cheap and has loads of great games, while the Xbox 360 boasts awesome online support with Xbox Live and a range of great games available.


We chose the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 as the best buys this fall because, well, they have the games. The PlayStation 2 is dirt cheap ($129.99 brand new, and considerably less for a used model) and has seven-year game catalog standing behind it, including countless must-play games like Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Final Fantasy XII, and God of War 2. Make no mistake: if you don't yet own a PS2, now's the time to invest. For the money, it's unbeatable.

The Xbox 360, on the other hand, has its own unique strengths. Its online Xbox Live service is second-to-none (despite its annoying fees), and it has a catalog of excellent games such as Crackdown, Forza Motorsport 2, and Gears of War...hell, even Geometry Wars Evolved is impressive. The Xbox 360's tendency to overheat and fail is disturbing; luckily, Microsoft is footing the bill with a generous (though limited) three-year warranty. If you're a next-gen HD gamer, it's hard to go wrong with the Xbox 360 at the moment...though you may want to wait and buy one of the new, HDMI-equipped models.

NO, HD can also be obtained by using the component or vga cables

Hmm my HD TV doesnt even have HDMI just component and vga...the only benefit of HDMI really is to allow higher resolutions of newer HDTV's that have had composite input crippled to facilitate the acceptance of HDMI by consumers.

PS2 is to 360 as XBOX is to PS3 if you think about it but the Wii is in a class of its own. Even though it has no games right now. I think people are just buying for Wii sports though:p.
