Re: OT - PS2 vs. Gamecube vs. Xbox
I have a PS2 but have played them all. I also like the GameCube but my fear with that one is the lack of more mature games. The big 'N' in the past has made mostly games for the younger kids market and other games that are cute. I'm hoping that this will not be the case with the GameCube. The only mature game I have seen for that system is the StarWars one, and later Resident Evil. I hope more mature games are coming.
Halo on the XBox is also alot of fun, Co-Op it's even better. I think it will do well if it can get support from the developers and release more quality games. The fact that not many companies in Japan are supporting the XBox could be a real problem. Best hardware add-ons/support out of the box.
PS2 already a year outdated. I agree that the other machines seem to have better graphics. But the PS2 has the best games currently, and the fact you can play PSOne games on it is a big plus. It's a pain to work with (I should know it's my job to program that stupid thing). Overall I think the PS2 is the best system right now IMHO. It's huge library of games and the PSone games it can play give it a huge advantage.

Re: OT - PS2 vs. Gamecube vs. Xbox
The rumble packs are fun, if you ask me
the XBox I played had them in the controllers, and the PS1 I remember had them if you paid the money

Re: OT - PS2 vs. Gamecube vs. Xbox
Just to add some more info to the debate, Sony is already selling a USB keyboard & mouse for the PS2 in Japan, along with a Linux distribution (I forget which one), so you can turn the PS2 into a Linux computer. ISTR they're also coming out with a network module for the PS2.
I'm biased towards the PS2, because I own both Playstation and PS2, and because I like the Final Fantasy series (even though the movie was disappointing).
My fiancee wants a GameCube, but not until there's a new Kirby game to play on it...
