I'm not trying to incite a war by saying this but Socom is an Awesome game. If you have both systems, you would be doing yourself a displeasure by not purchasing this game. You can read my posts, I'm not a PS2 fanboy, nor am I an XBOX fanboy. I thought about it long and hard and in my opinion, this game may have taken Halo for the top spot in my book. The online play is smooth with no noticeable lag and the in-game voice chat works flawlessly (except on D-Link routers, I had to purchase a cheap linksys router to get voice through, something about the default settings on a D-Link, even DMZ didn't work, the necessary ports are closed by default.) Anyone else played this game, post your opinions here. Don't knock it till you try it.
