While I'm inclined to agree that the PS2 was the better of the two systems overall (or at least had better games anyway), it's been almost the exact opposite with everyone I know. I don't know a single PS2 owner who didn't have to replace their system at some point (including myself), and I can only think of one guy I know that had to get a new Xbox. I've seen DREs on varius PS2s all the time, I've never seen it with a Xbox.
