   Ugh! Still kinda split... on one hand your posts have been the ones that   
   have encouraged me to get the game, so likewise you seem like a fun   
   player that I'd like to play with so I'd want to go PS2. While on the   
   other hand I like the 360s widescreen/HD support, the support to use a   
   headset, and I don't mind Xbox Live's overhead.   
      
   I guess a question good for someone who owns the PS2 version: does this   
   game support widescreen and/or progressive? How do you communicate..   
   does the onscreen keyboard work well enough, or will I need a seperate   
   USB/PS2 keyboard? and also, does the PS2 version support the microphone?
