You won't be disappointed with either system.

They are so similar, you should just get the one that plays the games that your kids want.

If they want Halo2, they can only play that on xbox. If they want GTA, Playstation2.

Don't buy the ps2 because it can play ps1 games. You ALREADY have a ps1, AND trust me, you will never play those old games anymore anyway. It doesn't happen very often at all, those old games are so lame compared to the new ones anyway.

(Not to bag on old games, they were great in their time, but they usually don't hold up as remembered.)

Both systems are the same price. Both rock the house. I have a ps2, but I might get an x-box too, just to have both. Oh, and I also have a game-cube, and a ton of old systems too.

But to sum up, don't buy a system based on specs. Buy the system that has the games you want.
