I have an Xbox and a Gamecube, and my good friend has a PS2. As people have already mentioned, all three systems have awesome games. As far as the PS2 and Xbox go, there is a ton of quality software to purchase for both systems. Here is my list of pros and cons and recommendations
PS2
Pros
Lots of exclusive games
Nice controller
Small
DVD capable out of box
LAN now built in
Cons
Need to buy memory card
Need to buy a hard drive
Need to buy accessery for four controller ports
Xbox
Pros
Better graphics (Read all of the reviews of cross-platform games)
Hard Drive (No Memory Cards)
Great selection of exclusive games
Dolby 5.1
Xbox Live
Optional mouse and keyboard available for gaming
Cons
Big
Need to buy DVD controller for DVD to work
Fewer overall games then PS2
Newer controllers are fine, but the PS2 controller is better in my opinion
As many people have already stated, it comes down to what types of games you like to play. I think the PS2 has a clear advantage when it comes to platforming games, but the Xbox has more selection at FPS, and more multiplayer options.
I think no matter which system you buy, you've made a good decision.
