XBOX 360 vs. PS2?

Right now, I still use my old playstation, and am thinking about upgrading. Not a big gamer, mostly weekend or bi-weekly play. Not into action or sports, mostly racing, or older games (pac-man, tetris).

Any ideas on a great system? Have heard many stories about ps2 crashing, as well as xbox 360.

I have a 360 and PS3 and really enjoy playing the 360 the most. The 360 really has allot of great games out. I play it mostly because of Gears Of War, Prey, Battlefield 2, and Elder Scrolls. I would really prefer the 360 if you have online thought it makes it more fun to unlock achievements and you are able to report people for cheating. get a small ps2 I have an xbox 360 and a psp.

my xbox 360 broke. my advice is to get a psp or xbox. they are more reliable. x360 wins

bye bye ps3 if you are not a hard core gamer, i would get the ps2. its a great system, its cheap, and has a million games to chose from. plus, you can get the games for mostly under 15 bucks. some older games you can buy for 5. yes the 360 has better graffics. but it cost 3-4 times more. has 1/1000 of the games. and i heard the system over heats and has glitches. so my advice is to get the ps2. and eventhough there is now a ps3, they are still making games for the ps2. so you can still play for years and years. PS2 PS 3 :) Ok, here is the thing, its difficult to compare the two. The 360 just came out about a year ago, and the PS2 came out what...6 years ago? I personally don't like the 360. They are into action adventure types, like Oblivion, Shooting games is the biggest, Halo among them. For racing, Id say the PS2. Grand Turismo is a great game for racing. My dad, who isn't a really big gamer, he plays GT4 for about 4 hours every friday since it came out. Not only that, but the PS2 has alot of collections, like, Genesis Collection among others. Basically its a collection of mostly great games that alot of people liked.
