The XBox has (generally) better graphics, the PS2 has a massive selection of games, and the GC has a ton of exclusive properties almost all of which are executed fantastically.For me though the XBox has one exceptional feature which neither of the other two systems even come close to competing with: XBox Live!. If you have broadband, it's easily the best on-line service I've ever played (and I've been playing on-line with my PC for about 6 years). You have to pay for it (I think I paid £29.99 for the starter pack which includes the mic/headphone unit and 12 months subscription), but you get your money's worth within about 2 hours of any on-line competitive game (Project Gotham 2, any sports title you care to mention, Splinter Cell 2, the list goes on...). The PS2 has an online service as well but it feels laggy and half-hearted next to Microsoft's - I think they'll only truly start competing in the next gen.And seriously, don't let the fact that XBox2 is *purported* to be out later this year, or the release of any of the next gen systems, stop you from picking any one of them up dirt cheap right now for 12 months of gaming goodness.</blockquote>
