Long PostIt's $300 just like the PS2 and since it comes with a hard drive and broadband built in it will cost you less money in the long run.I second this, but since it can be hard to do check out a big game site like Gamespot.com and read about which games are available for each system and go with the system that has the most games you want.Best bet though is to wait until this fall when we'll have a real indication of what to expect from the GC and Xbox long term and thus if they'll be viable long term alternatives to the PS2. If you can wait go for the Dreamcast suggestions below to tide you over.Definitely the safe bet and the one you can't go wrong with.The biggest reason to go with a Cube is if you're a Nintendo or Resident Evil fan. Capcom will release all future RE's on the Cube and is making a remake of RE1 and will port all the other games to it before releasing the next two new games (0 and 4).I have to emphasize the Xbox is only $300, same as PS2.As for why to buy a Box? Jet Set Radio Future and most of Sega's new games will come for the Xbox first. Plus it looks like it may end up as the favored choice for current and former PC developers.I'll be the third person to suggest this.My suggestions on what to get: three extra controllers, multiple VMU's (memory cards, say about four), Jet Grind Radio, Sonic Adventure, Shenmue 1&2 (you'd have to import the European version of 2), Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Crazy Taxi 1, and ChuChu Rocket for non fighting games. For fighting games Capcom vs. SNK Pro, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, theses depend on what style you like however.Most of them won't cost more than $20-30, some as little as $10.I left off games that also came out for the PS and stuck to stuff I have.</blockquote>
