specs is one thing but still won't make a big difference as for what each system has. oof bat, ps2 has plenty of games to play and more to still to come only on ps2 (metal gear 3, grand theft auto : san andreas, gran turismo 4, and so on) xbox i have games for but to tell you the truth, i play emus more then xbox games and the main reason to that is cuz most of xbox's games just don't really appeal to me or they already on ps2. i should also mention that xbox becomes a very nice entertainment unit once hacked cuz of one main app, XBox Media Center so to a point, i'll tell you what i tell all guys/gals at efnet when they ask "which is better, ps2 or xbox?" ps2 has the games, xbox has the mods
