Since both consoles are now really cheap, i would like to buy either an xbox or a ps2 to australia during my 2 month stay there. After that, my sister which is situated in australia will be using it.

Since i'm a total newbie when it comes to console, are all consoles in malaysia compatible with the tvs there? I heard about ntsc pal and things like that so is there gonna be some issues to those?

i wont be buying any games there, will hoard all the games here to there.

Besides the games, when it comes to function only, which one is a better bet? Xbox or ps2? Both can play dvds rite?

Hope you'll hardcore console'ers can help me out. Thanks~!!

ps2 slim looks way too cool and so mobile. But i'm the type that plays more than 3 hours per session though..

Ok...just check out a store. PS2 slim with 10 games free plus 2 controllers costing RM699. Reasonable?
