Q: I am trying to decide between an Xbox and PlayStation 2 for my family. I see good reviews for both. A: They both are fine consoles. Like Apple vs. Windows, it is more of a software decision for me. In my experience, there are more software (games) available for the PS2, compared to the Xbox. However, many of those are older titles designed for the PS1. If you have preteens, my hunch would be there is more PS2 software suitable for younger kids. The Xbox is more for teens and adults. One option is to give a gift card and let your kids decide; another is to rent both consoles for a weekend from Blockbuster or someone and try them out for minimal cost. The warehouse clubs tend to have pretty good pricing.
