Eye Tyrant said:Well, I went out today and "test-drove" each of the 3 consoles, and I must say that the Xbox is impressive. To me the graphics and controls of the PS2 seemed "herky-jerky" (I thought perhaps it was the system or monitor it was on, but I went to another location and it was the same). I thought the graphics and overall smoothness of play was much better in both the Xbox and the Gamecube. Though the Gamecube's controllers felt like something out of a Dollar General store though.
As far as games went I played the following:
Xbox:
Nascar 2002
NFL Fever 2002 (I think that was the name)
Operation Delta Force (I think, some flight simulator type deal)
Some Snowboard game...
PS2:
One of the Pod Racing games
WCW Wrestling
Gamecube:
NBA something or other
Super Smash Bros
Pikmin (or is it Pikimin?)
My two boys went with me also. One liked the PS2 and one the Xbox...
If I had to make a decision right now it would be the Box, but fortunately I don't have to do that until probably Friday of next week...
Again thanks for all the input, and if anyone has anymore, feel free to post.
First, before I start I'd just like to point out I have all 3 game systems (yes, I know, I suck

Yes, I agree with you that the Xbox has better graphics but frankly they're honestly not that much better and the games for the Xbox just don't come close to the PS2. You'll *never* be able to play one of the best console RPGs out there, Final Fantasy X, on the Xbox.
I have a whopping 4 games for the Xbox:
• Halo - an outstanding game
• Dead or Alive 3 - A nice looking game but not very exciting
• Night Caster - An okay game that can get old playing
• WWF: Raw - I just got it but it looks great
I get a lot of games and I just can't seem to find any decent Xbox games. I've even bought games, played them for a day or two and then taken them back.
Btw, I am truly beginning to hate the Xbox controller. It's like a can of Spam with sticks.
Where as on the PS2 I could go on and on about the fantastic games it has and they just keep getting better.
Smooth graphics mean nothing when the game play is crap. That's the main thing to remember.
