I already have a GameCube, and I'm absolutely satisfied with it, but limiting myself to one console just doesn't feel right. I'm only gonna be getting one, so I have to choose between Xbox and PS2. I think I've almost made up my mind, but I'd like your opinions, too.

I've looked through the game lists of both consoles, and see it like this. Both of them pretty much have the same third-party support (although I guess PS2 has a little more), so the exclusives are gonna be big to my choice.

So, as of now, I can see that PS2 has better exclusives...at least for me. I'm posting this because I guess I'm still not sure, but if I had to choose right now I'd get PS2.

And yeah, I know someone's going to say get PS3/360/Rev, but they're going to be so expensive at launch, and I'm not gonna buy a console based on launch games. Planning to wait a few months for more games and price drops.

So...yeah. Post your opinions, I guess.

I wouldn't get anything right now. I'd wait for holiday season to come around. I'm thinking the PS2 will drop down to $99.

Personally, I like the Xbox more. But the PS3 has more exclusive games, as you said. So, if I was you, I'd go with the PS2.

I have a PS2, and I would want an Xbox. I say if you can get XBL, go for the xbox. Unless you really like MGS, like I do :P

I don't really like playing online...it's like seeing all the stupid people you usually do, only they're online, nerdier, and tend to try to act tough to cover that up.

Which is why I'm looking for better exclusives. So if anyone can find a lot of good (Xbox) ones, go ahead, but I only managed to find...not that many...at all.

But I heard the slim PS2 overheats quicker, which kinda sucks. I'll have to do more research about that.

Yeah, it does. If you're going to get a PS2, get a used big one. eBay. XD. Or just a game shop...

It overheats if you play it 24/7 and never turn it off (when you go eat, outside, watch tv for a while) etc. If you're getting the PS2, then get a slim one.

I don't think they even sell the original in stores anymore, so yeah, I'll have to get a slim one. ...The topic was asking between that and the Xbox. But no one's really said any rebuttals for it, and with the stuff I'm reading, I guess I'll get a slim PS2...or PSTwo, whatever the new model's correct name is.

Hopefully the overheating isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Take it from someone who knows second hand about the slim PS2s. Don't get one.

My cousin worked at a game store. They have a horrible overheating problem. Get a used thick one.

Reason much?

Anyway, if I can find an old PS2 in stores and not online, then I might get that, but if I have to, I'll get the slim one. I heard the slim one doesn't get any (or any at all) DRE's, but I'll see what I can do. Hopefully I'll notice if something's wrong before the warranty expires.
