Honestly, i'd go with the PS2. Xbox is has more potential in how powerful it is, but apparently, alot of the third part game producers aren't fully into making games for them. I've got the Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube. Overall he PS2 is very strong with third party companies. Gamecube is catching up slowly with their Nintendo trademarks. As i rate the systems, i'd say, "PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox". Go with the PS2, first. Then when the games start popping out for Xbox, then buy it. It will take a few months or so until they unleash the Xbox's power. Halo right now is the best game that came out so far for all systems (in a while).
