Which one of these three systems should I ask for Chirstmas? Be sure to include reasons why and list at least two games worth buying.

It's all about preference.

Want RPGs? PS2.
Want Sports? X-Box.

Hrahhnnn, I would probably say PS 2, even though there are a few good titles for Xbox, including Halo (of course), Dead or Alive 3, Ninja Gaiden 4 (up coming), and some other shit that I am not aware of since I haven't even shopped for Xbox games yet

Yeah. I'm probably gonna grab a PS2 soon, as the lack of RPGs really make games incredibly short. StarFox Adventures - 4 days. Robotech: Battlecry - 6 days. Though the GCs getting some shortly. PSO v1+2 soon, which I'll probably try out. Skies of Arcadia, which I liked the small amount of time I played it on Dreamcast.

Me, too. But take it from one with experience in the game: Grandia Xtreme is much fun!

I like all 8 of the available characters, good graphics, I like the combat and magic systems, and there's a dungeon you can go into that's random every time!

I believe that Nintendo is launching a game a day sometime in early november until the day before christmas. In fact, EB's "Vendor of the month" (Basically, the company that gives them the most free games/stuff that month) is Xbox for October, and 'Cube for November.

And really, the only reason I see to buy a PS2 is for all the square support it's had over the ages. I.E. I can buy 90% of all square titles I haven't currently got, or played for under 150 bucks (Stuff like FF9, 10, chronicles, Chrono cross, etc, etc.) if I'm lucky and watch the returns bin.

As for a fresh system, right this VERY SECOND.. I'd go with PS2 simply because of the huge library. There has to be something out there worth getting, or that you'll like.

Of course, I've been watching Outlaw star, unedited, on DVD, subtitled with Japanese. They seem angry at everything they say, and mix up words a lot. Like a sentance will start with a name you've heard them say before in the subtitles, but they'll say it very very very last in the actual dialouge.

I'll cast my vote for PS2, with NGC as runner-up for when you have the money.

The PS2 is fantastic. The playstation controller is quite simply the best. The PS2 controller doesn't change because it doesn't need to The games out for it are TONS of fun, and quite varied, from platformers, to action, to RPG's, et cetera.

GC has a lot of good games, not as many as PS2, can't play PS1 games, and can't play DVD's, which is why I give it a runner-up position.

X-Box is simply crap, IMO. I have yet to find one thing about the system that I like.

Indeed.

Quite easy to convince someone to buy one, however, when you tell them you dont need a memory card to save. (Leaving out all that other crappy stuff like longass load times, horrible controllers, even though they went in the right direction with the Controller-S, and almost no good fighting ish games like Tekken 4, which is a huge seller in and of itself. )

I don't own many PS2 games, but MGS2, GTA3, FFX, DW3, have made the system worth it to me so far. And that whole "FFXI and GTA:VC" thing is pretty sweet, too.

I agree with Lash on both counts. The DVD player works fine, and I love my system..

and the only game I own for it is Kingdom Hearts!

edit: I have borrowed FFX and MGS2, though.
