Unreal Championship 2 is either out or coming out for Xbox.
And as was mentioned there are pros and cons to both systems.
The PS2 can play all of PS1 games so right there is something like 650 titles that should be pretty cheap to buy.
PS2 has free online, I think. But thats about all I have heard about it.
The XBox is very modable. you can put in new large hard drive and (like the PS2) can put in a mod chip to allow you to play imported games, but Microsoft don't want people modding their xboxs to do other things. A friend of mine has basically turned it into a small computer. If you go online with the mod chip installed and on, M$ will actually kill off your access and you will never be able to use that Xbox online again, at least on their official xbox network.
Xbox has more titles for online play, but there is also a good chunk of games that say xbox live on the back and end up only be the kind that you upload your scores to and not actually play live against people.
Also with Xbox, online play is the paying for access which is again something I don't really agree with. BUT there are things out there that allow you to play your xbox free online. Microsoft don't like this but too bad. I'll get my friend to tell me the name of it.
