I assume most of us here own both XBox & PS2 or have played both of them and have formed an opinion.
Lets share em out here. I like Xbox. What about you ? Why

I have them both .. XBox by far. The controller is worlds above the PS2 controller, although I would like buttons underneath the controller for a few fingers. That would help for dual joystick games like Halo.

GTA: SA is about the only redeeming thing on the PS2

Considering it hasnt been done in a while, I wont mock you for posting something that's been debated ad nauseum.
I'm going to have to go with xbox, because of their superb online system, graphics, and audio.

The game library is huge and there are plenty of good games to keep you busy.

Isn't modding illegal ? Can you mod an XBox to make it region free. Games in china are pretty cheap :)

PS2.

GT3 and soon to be GT4 :D and Tekken series.

I prefer the PS2 controller as I am just use to it.

PS2 online play is hardly their but hopefully Sony will sort something out:p

Being banned from Xbox Live has nothing to do with it being illegal. Microsoft just doesnt want people modding their Xbox's so they ban them from Xbox Live. But, most software that people run on modded boxes is illegal. There is some legal software though, too, like Xbox Linux.

I do think PS2 has more games I'm interested in. So I'd say PS2. Don't really care about the modding stuff, I want a game system to play games and don't care about what else it can/could do.

I own a GC and not a PS2 or Xbox though.
