It is hard to say, as each system has it's fans. I have only the PS2 and I bought it because it has the most choice for games. The xbox supposedly has better graphics, I would say look at each systems games and if the ones you want are on xbox then get that. I bought my PS2 because of Grand Theft Auto 3 and it's sequals so it is the system for me. There are pros and cons for each system but it is a lot easier to make a choice now because the price is about half of what they started at.
