General Comments
I owned the PS2 and the X box. I ended up trading my PS2 in for an X box. The PS2 was a good system but it didn't seem to be built solid enough for me. The PS2 slim got very hot when played which was not a good sign for me. To me, that much heat being given off is not a good thing and could lead to a problem down the road.
The X box on the other hand is a powerhouse (basically a computer in a box). Games load quicker and the graphics are actually better than that of the PS2. I truly believe that the XBOX is better for your money. Sony has led the console wars over the past few years so microsoft had to come out with a kick ass system in order to compete. Sony on the other hand already had a leg up on the competition (PSone) so they really didn't put the effort into making the most solid system(that's my opinion anyways). The XBOX is all about cool and all about power.
As far as games go, the PS2 has the most. X box has the 2nd and the Gamecube comes in third. From what I could gather, the PS2 has a lot of games but many of them are not worth a penny to buy (believe me, I played a lot of them). How many are you really gonna play anyway.
To sum up, I believe that the X box is a better system than the PS2. Also, the under-rated Gamecube is also an excellent system and also has better graphics than the PS2, and it is the cheapest of all three. It has the least amount of games but has a lot of the popular titles (seems to be geared for a younger audience).
X box all the way!
