I still like my PS2, wish I could justify getting the new slimmer model but oh well. I also have a gamecube which was mainly purchased for Rogue Squadron and Mario Bros. But is mainly used so I can play my GBA on my TV! PS2 is hands down the better console in comparson with the Cube. Xbox vs PS2 is a matter of taste adn what games you want. I personally love the PS2 controller and can't stand the Xbox. We'll see what the coming year has for the Sony vs Xbox genre, if Xbox(2) is that much better maybe it'll get sony however Rember that Dreamcast came out 6 months ahead of the PS2 and Xbox and look where that got it!
