Rite, so you have two brilliant consoles. One made by Microsoft, and the other made by Sony, but which one really is the best???
There are some factors that people dont like about the X-box but they do like them about the playstation 2. For example, there is the size of teh Xbox. It is massive compared with the Playstation 2 and also teh playstation can be stood vertical aswell as horizontal. This makes it easier to store it and its obviously going to fit into more places.
The graphics on the X-box are incredible. The playstation 2's graphics are also looking quite promising. There are many more games out on the Playstation 2...ok it has been out for about 6 months before the X-box but the Playstation 2 has Grand Theft Auto III, Gran Turismo 3, Gran Turismo Concept. So what top games does the X-box have... It has Halo, Colin Mcrae 3 and Project Gotham Racing.
Also, the controlers of the X-box are indeed over sized and uncomfortable. Whereas the design of the Playstation 2 controllers is the same as the Dual Shock's for Playstation 1 and Ps 1.
The X-box is gradually coming down in price which might incourage more people to buy this console. I personally think that microsoft should stick to creating P.C. software/hardware.
In all, I think that the Playstation 2 is still better at this moment in time due to the vast amount of games avaliable at the moment and then all of the other small aspects like controller design and console size.
I rate the X-Box 7/10 and the Playstation 2 8/10. But Every one is to their own thoughts!

By the way, I meant it as a light hearted humourous comment, I did not take offence and i hope that you didn't either. I thought it would be funny because I am a newbie to. Oh well. I suppose my humour is far too obscure.

save me from this rabble gerrid
No GameCube. Is that due to it's legacy design, only offering basic game operation, while XBox and PS2 are modern multi-media based consoles?

Yeh right, has the best games come on then what are they and where are they in the all formats chart.
Mario - Ratchet and Clank better
NFS2 - PS2 version better
Resi - PS1 with a bit of polish (Two Towers graphics are easily a match if not better).
Lord of the Rings
Ratchet and Clank
The Getaway
Gta VC
GT3
Toca
Silent Assasin
WRC 2 extreme the best in game rally graphics on the face of the planet.
Real rubbish games.
