Ps2 is great--even for all of its' noted flaws, it's a great console. If i only could have one system, it would be the ps2 based on the fact that it has the most games to choose from. the controller is great for fighting games, and grand theft auto vice city is on it. now, if it had the graphical powers of the xbox and had halo, it would be perfect. but, as is, outside of halo2, it's getting the best games (i don't really care that much about nintendo franchises like mario, zelda and metriod). just my opinion.
