Xbox is state of the art, FACT. The XBox hardware is ahead of it's time, in that the developers of the games are only just getting their acts together. However, by Xmas there will be some good games out there. The DVD is excellent and if you take it to a local computer fair, I'm sure they will modify it for you so you can play your backed-up XBox games (if you know what I mean) and multi-region DVD's.
My lads have both and they rarely use the PS2 now...
Also, don't buy new if you can get a second hand one from an Ad-Mag. The price of the hardware is falling rapidly. If you have broadband, go online for free at www.xbconnect.com for up to 16 players on Halo (Game of the century)

2nd vote for XBox.
Bought mine as a DVD for wifey (so she can watch DVDs in bed - she preggers!)
BEST console I've ever had In some respects, even better than my PC (and that aint slow either!)
Get one - you won't be disappointed. Especially with the new games coming out....

Yeah, but you can't dis the facts.
And the fact say everybody I know had got rid of their PS2 to get an XBox
So much so the local GAME/EB shop has cheap 2nd hand PS2's for sale.

Had an Xbox since day 1 and its worth it for Halo alone - possibly the best game out there IMHO. Was up til 3am in the morning on several occaisons playing Halo until complete then started again on Legendary
With stuff like Morrowind, UT Championship and Yager coming out the Xbox is state of the art hardware thats starting to gather some serious momentum, no contest IMHO.
I'll be trying the broadband link 2nite...

If I were buying a console just for games, I'd get a Gamecube!
If I needed a DVD player as well as a console, I'd get a PS2, purely for the huge back catalogue!
I have both and a DVD player! I'm greedy I guess!

Corner!!!!!
sorry!
I was pondering the same a few months ago, then got offered a chipped PS2, a couple of backed up games () and a bag full of PS1 games for £100. Job did!!!
I've never tried a Xbox, so don't know what i'm missing, and don't really care!

Gamecube might be outselling the XBox (probably becuase of the cheapness of it) but with the latest *xbox and 2 games for £160* deal that'll turn things around.
And beside's there's nowhere near the number of quality games for the 'cube than there is for the xbox (I know, I own both!)
Mind you the cube is better for I.C.E. use (than the dodgly-old psone) and more compact to take on holiday with you.
I don't fancy lugging the xbox over to my mates house for lan gaming on a regular basis.

Xbox is the best platform but PS2 still wins it purely on the number of games you can get for it. (I own only a GC before u accuse me of being bias). GTA:Vice City is one reason to buy the PS2.

Check out the deals at toys R Us on the xbox. Managed to pick up console, second controller, the two free boxed games, Dead or alive 3, mad trax racing and colin mcrae 3 for £240.
Tried both consoles with CM3 and went for the xbox as the gameplay was beter IMHO.
