I have 2 PS2's a GC, and many handhelds (no DS or PSP though)
It all really depends on what you are into, kinda like the old NES vs Genesis debate, one kicked tail for sports and action while the other was all about adventure and rpg.
PS2 has the RPG market, lots of good action and some shooters, xbox seems to have great shooters ie Halo 1 & 2, and both are about even since all the sports games pretty much cover all platforms.
gfx the xbox does tend do outdo the ps2 since it is "newer" hardware it does have this edge.
online capabilities, if you go with a newer slim ps2 it has the ethernet built in, while the old full sized models you need to pick up a network adapter that hooks into the back of the system, and MOST of the ps2 online games are free with the exceptions of FF and EQ that I know of. xbox you need to pick up the xbox live service to be able to play your games online, but I do believe it too comes right out of the box like the slim ps2 ready to go online you just need the xbox like kit which is a headset and a game I believe.
Hope more can clarify the online capabilities of the xbox as I have never played on online.
