Overall I'd go with the PS2 every time. I agree with DBZjunior and I dont see X-box coming close to the library of games available for PS2. I have just about every console known to man and waited until the price drop to pick up the gamecube and x-box. All 3 have their benefits/faults but ps2 gets my vote because of the larger/better game selection and I just feel at home with it.

of course, i'm still pissed they're not releasing games for the Dreamcast any longer...
