I've been considering a new game console (gotta do my part to spread this death and destruction, y'know); is the XBox clearly the superior platform? Just about every retailer has it and the PS2 at the same price point (though the online pack for the Sony kicks up the price quite a bit).
I've pretty much kept up with the PC games, but the last game console I owned had an "Atari" label on it. FWIW, I'm not looking for online play imediately (I satisfy that craving using the PC to play Day of Defeat), but since the unit will be hooked to the TV and there's a Cat-5e connection on that wall, what the heck...
All hints, tips and comments greatly appreciated.
