I have the Xbox and the PlayStation 2. And I'll be getting the GameCube in March...
So you can sit there and diss the Xbox all you want. Having both systems, I can tell you that the PlayStation 2 is completely inferior!
Xbox is WAY better than PS2. PlayStation does have more games to choose from. But it doesn't have an 8 gig hardrive, the graphical power, nor a built in modem like the Xbox.
