Let me give you my advice...
People will come in and shout to get the PS2, as will people to get the Xbox. I suggest you get the Xbox. It has a built in hard drive(no memory card needed at all), 733mHz(3x that of PS2, which runs at 233.8), Xbox Live(which is better than PS2 online due to nearly NO lag and a friends list), and some awesome games out and coming out in the next few monthes(Brute Force, Counter Strike, Ghost Recon: Island Thunder, Starcraft: Ghost, and HALO 2!!)
Right now, PS2 has more games out than Xbox(they should, seeing as it came out a whole year before Xbox). But if you want better graphics and more power, go with the Xbox.
PS: I'm waiting for Smooth to come in, quote me, and say I'm wrong.

is there some good "beat em up" games for the Xbox??... i know there is "Mortal Kombat 4" and "Dead Or Alive 3" ... but is Tekken or Virtua Fighter eve gonna get released for Xbox?? (specially Teken)
-
hell no but SOUL CALIBUR 2 . MOTHAFUCKA!!!
fo ps2 there's only tekken tag tournament out, no tek4
-
Get Super Nintendo ;D.....jk....i say get the X Box...you can store music on it and shit and plus its newer and loads faster....
-
get PS2. better games and better controller, who cares about all those extra features when its supposed to be a video game system not a computer. ps2 is like a perfect system if you want to enjoy playing video games at its best
whoever said there is no tekken 4 for the ps2, there is.
-
xbox,and if you hate the xbox controler you can buy a adapter that lets you use a ps2 controller so thats not even a issue
and somebody is definately gonna come in here shoutin GTA vice city,and let me tell you,its not all its cracked up to be
ps2 hardware is unreliable too btw
-
get X-BOX becuase for now its the best system out rite now but hey also think about gamecube even though its not as great as
X-BOX it is almost up to the level of X-BOX but the only problem is the controller (people i own gc im just telling the truth of what many people say the problem is with gamecube)well since ur asking about ps2 and xbox get X-BOX!!!!!!!
end gigaganon

I got Box and PS2 both. I use the Box more. PS2 broke 4 months after I bought it. Had to pay 130 bucks to get it fixed. I'm unimpressed by sony personally.
-
Yo man, what kinda games do you like? That might have an effect. Also, for everyone's info the Rockstar games (GTA, Vice city) with be coming to X-Box next year (check at xbox.ign.com). Anyways, your game preferences will have an effect on what you get. Let me know and I'll try and help..
-
i like the XBOX controller better than the PS2. Ghost Recon is a dope game
-
I own an Xbox and a GC, i use my xbox way more often and own 12 games, it's definately worth your many, take this advice from someone who owned a PS2 and traded it in, best decision of my life.
-
The X Box has a lotta cool features, but I still prefer the PS2.
-
i say just keep playing yo homies system lol
-
[size=10]X-BOX[/size]
It's 9084342324 times better than the PS2, trust me... and don't forget to pick up Halo while you're at it. Best FPS ever.
-
[size=10]X-BOX SUCKS[/size]
ps2 all the way!!!!!!! woooooo!!!!!!!

Go for the one that has the games you want to play.
Out of the two I would go for XBox as it has just got Burnout 2 and will have Doom 3 in the future.
-
ive got a modded xbox, so i'm gonna have to go with the xbox .. its got a 120gb hard disk in it
-
I would by a PS2, I own all three systems and all my xbox does is sit around. I try to enjoy it but don't. PS2 is a very reliable system, just as reliable as Xbox... there are tons and tons of games for the PS2, especially beat em ups... and soul calibur is coming to the PS2 as well, so need to worry about it being just on the Xbox exclusive. If you really really wanna save money, xbox saves a lot on only memory, but remember, you need to buy a dvd kit to play DVD's... and to play online you need to buy a starter kit, dont believe all the hoopla about getting the adapter included, it wont work unless you get the starter kit... plus monthly charges... in the end, PS2 saves you more money online than Xbox... I'd go with ps2, great games, tons of them and no show of them letting up... also wait a week or two, the prices will be dropping

duno about anywhere else, but in australia you get the DVD kit with the xbox .. my little brother has pretty much every game system known to man, from the atari 2600, to sega mastersystem 2, all the way through to xbox & ps2, and he swears by the xbox since i modded it for him, only game he says is any good on ps2 is GTA vice city(?)
for me it was more about what i could do with it, ive got a 120gb drive filled with games and movies, video clips etc.. easier than watching it on a PC, or burning cds etc..

also wait a week or two, the prices will be dropping
I've heard that too... apparently prices of all the 3 big consoles are to drop :)
"According to the news piece, and as we reported earlier this month, the Xbox is due to drop to $149 in the US. Sony will also be pitching its PS2 at that price. Meanwhile, Nintendo will be dropping the Gamecube down to $99."

although a more recent news item says Sony might not be thinking the same or they might be bluffing so sales dont wait for the price cuts ! ;) :
"A price drop for Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 2 in the U.S. is likely not going to happen if we are to believe Kaz Hirai, president of the company's U.S"

Straight up, don't be acting like you don't have to buy no fucking adapter for PS2. Get the BOX man, shits worth it, no memory card bullshit, custom soundtracks with your own music, broadband ready!!

i bought an xbox... gonna place a modchip 2 days from now.... ;D
here in sweden, modchip is actually (legally) allowed :o
