    I was going to post this on the spawn board where more people would see it, but we all know how that would end.

    Anyway, I'm planning on buying a pre-played console, and I'm just trying to decide which one.

    Right now I'm leaning towards PS2 for a couple reasons.

    1 - Transformers game.
    2 - I already have a good PC, and an XBOX is essentially a crappier PC.

    What do you think I should get?

    Xbox has the advantage in exclusives.

    The Chronicles of Riddick, Ninja Gaiden, Rallisport Challenge, Halo 2, Fable, Panzer Dragoon Orta, etc. etc.

    I'd say buy a Gamecube, but then again I'm a Zelda whore.

    I prefer the PS2 over the Xbox. The controlers feel better its free to play online (after the price of the broadband adapter) and it has a great selection of games.

    The thing about XBOX exclusives is that they'll all end up on the PC eventually, being Microsoft and all.

    PS2, better library of games, better controller...

    I would also recommend a GC, as it has the best exclusives on the market...

    Meh, so far I haven't seen any GC exclusives games that would justify me buying one.

    Any popular XBOX exclusive will be on the PC within a year.

    Microsoft isn't stupid.
