As far as pure hardware goes, XBox is WAY more powerful than the PS2 (I mean it DID come out like a year and a half later, and you know how fast the computer industry moves).  However, PS2 and XBox games look roughly equivalent since companies haven't pushed the XBox anywhere near its limits yet (this will definitely be changing throughout 2003).Also I really like the hard drive on the XBox.  You don't have to buy separate memory cards to save your games like you have to do on the PS2 (but you can get one if you want to take your saved game to your friend's `box)None of the other consoles have anything like XBox Live.  It's easy to get on and you only have to sign up once (where as with PS2 you'll have to sign up for something different with each title and you have to buy your network adapter separately), and it has a lot of cool features like the voice communicator and the player matching service.Also, Mechassault will have new downloadable content (starting in January... new `mechs, new arenas, new multiplayer game types, etc.) from XBox Live to your hard drive.  This is something that you won't see on a PS2.Personally I've been playing a LOT of Halo for XBox.  A friend in my D&D gaming group picked up an XBox and networking the machines directly together was easy and a TOTAL blast!  (In fact, our networked Halo games took over our D&D sessions for about a month<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> 4 players on two TVs... oh yeah!!!)  I'm not a big FPS fan, but this is by far the funnest game I've ever played!  (If you end up getting a PS2 then definitely rent an XBox to play this game!)Hope that helps <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
