I am a proud ps2 owner. SOCOM< GTA series, Gran Turismo, it's always been my choice console. No one game ever made me think I had to get an xbox. Then I bought Halo, Splinter Cell, Elder Scrolls, anew xbox, AND got laid off. All in the same week.
Since that week, I've been a faithful fan of both systems. PS2 is always going to be more cuttign edge. MS likes to play it safe. They'll come up with cool exclusive games occasionally, but mostly PC franchises are what they seem to promise. Sony has invested a lot more time in the games of tomorrow... Final fantasy, Metal Gear, ICO, Mark of Kri, Amplitude.
As far as the Xbox live question, I believe they are asking you to pay up front for a online experience that will be worth it 6 months from now. Your choices right now for xbox live are mechassault, unreal, ghost recon, and a few others. Nothing outstanding, certainly not worth paying for. When wolfenstein online comes out, along with halo 2 and a feww others, it will be worth it. and since they are collecting up front for the online experience, the creators of these games can take their time and make a great online and offline game, not a rushed version with one and not the other.
I like xbox because it is exclusively broadband, I experienced l9ots of lag on the PS2 network when 56k'ers would log in and play socom.
Just my thoughts. Good luck with your purchase.
