XBox vs PS2
-
So I have a couple hundred dollars to spend, I'm not a hardcore gamer and not too bothered about spending double that on PS3 or 360 or Wii. So which way should I go PS2 or XBox?

You could consider upgrading your PC. There are very few games I like playing on consoles (plus, for some reason, my kids fight more about playing games if a console is around. My brother and brother-in-law's kids are the same. There's something about the things that brings out the animal in kids.)

Can you guys not read? He said he DIDN'T want to buy a PS3 or XBox360 due to the price. He wants opinions on the PS-TWO vs the X-Box (NO NUMBER). The PS2 has some an incredible library and actually still has some (very few) games being released for it, you will be able to find all sorts of deals on great games and less likely to have problems. I will echo the sentiment that the games are the reason to buy the console. Another possibility to consider would be a Nintendo DS, it's a lot of fun, and depending on the type of games you want to play and other factors (do you travel etc) it can be a great piece of hardware. Anyway at that price point I still would say it's worth stepping up to the Wii, as you'll get a "current gen" console (IE more likely to have the current games produced for it), and the console is targeted at fun more than any other.
In that case, I would recommend PS2. Next-gen wise I'd choose the opposite, that is X360 over PS3 (at least for the time being).

Until my back died, I was getting little shots at Mario Galaxy. My 7 year old son has way more stars than I do, b/c I can't play now, and I wasn't playing much to start with. It's an amazing game tho

He hurt it in the shower and his wife had to get him out. I'm not sure what she was doing in there in the first place, but when I pushed him for more info, he pleaded the 5th. And we're not even American.

Ps2 - there are more games available for it, and the controls are better IMO. And, there's Guitar Hero for the PS2!!! :-D
