i'm in the market for a new console, and was too lazy to search, so i created this thread.
I dont care a whole lot, i just want the games to look nice, run like they're supposed to, and have long enough cables (or extensions) available.

I prefer xbox. Get a mod chip for it and you're set.
Yeah PS2 may have more titles, but most SUCK.

Well I have an X-Box myself as well as a nice 42 inch HDTV to play it on
But I dunno..
I generally like the xbox but see some games on the ps2 that I'd really like to play, and play them online (Socom II for example). The only problem with the xbox live thing is you have to pay for it. Although you can always use those two month free things.
If I were to start out again though I'd stick with the X-Box simply because of the types of games I like to play and I'm a graphics nerd.
Cables and extensions.. how long do you need them to be? For the controllers? What? Cause they have wireless controllers for the xbox.
The X-Box has some pretty sweet deals going on right now so if you want one now or right after christmas would be the time to buy one I suppose...

With the PS2 you get DVD & internet connectivity for free. Xbox you have to pay for both to get them to work (which is quite bullshit to me). To get your XBox to do that you'd be spending at least $260 where PS2 you get it for $200 w/ a game.
XBox only has about a handful of GOOD games. PS2 has at least 20-30 GOOD games. Yes, the XBox is more powerful and has a better DVD player but if you want better gameplay go with a PS2.
If you're a wanna-be 1337 h4x0r get an XBox, if you're a gamer get a PS2.
