Default PS2 or X-Box?

I have the opportunity to pick up either an x-box or a ps2 for $120; however, im just not sure which one to get

Considering the ps2 has been out for 4 yrs and theyre gonna release ps3 summer of next year (or so ive heard) i was thinking x-box, but i dont really want to miss out on Final Fantasy X or XI, but then again, ps2's online play is free if you have a broadband connection while x-box charges $10 a month. Buuut... then i get back to thinking that x-box has halo and halo II then i get stuck between the choices again

Or i could just say the heck with it and wait til either ps3 comes out or x-box2 and then decide which of the two is better

Gamecube and PC... those two will cover all your bases (assuming you have a good processor and graphics card in your PC.) Gamecube is only $99 and you already have a PC. Virtually every XBox and PS2 title worth owning is ALSO available for either PC or Gamecube... but hot PC and Gamecube titles are typically NOT available for XBox or PS2.

That is definately true, most games made by sony and microsoft are going to be on the pc sooner or later. Nintendo isn't connected in this way. But I also should mention that there is a big difference in the consoles and the pc, I originally wanted to just buy pc games, but I realized that the games had a more fun-play if you buy the console and use the controller.

I know that you can buy the controllers for the pc if you want, but it's just not the same for some people :awais:
