Go with the Xbox, some great games coming out for it in the near future. Great DVD playback, 5.1 surround sound capable, all round good buy. PS2 has more games, but just remember, it's been out for a crapload longer so give that some thought. And the graphics on the Xbox are much crisper and colourful than the PS2.

Gamecube ?? Well, I play around with the one at work, brought one home for a night tried it out. Rogue Leader was great, Resident Evil 0 looks awesome, but that system really is more catered toward kids, all I see on the shelves are kids games, not very encouraging.

I own both a PS2 and Xbox. Xbox beats it hands down, give it a few more months and some sweet games will be popping up for it.
