this is all opinionated (sp?). Graphically, yes, the Xbox will be the best. Gameplay is another thing. Neither the XBOX or GC are out and probably 5-10 people on this board went to E3 and played some of these games, but other than that, i think the PS2 has better games at the moment. I had a dreamcast, but the only game I got for it was Sonic Adventure one (cheap ass game). I borrowed RE:CV and Shenmue. My friend also had a dreamcast, and he bought a lot of games and after playing/watching, none of them really apealed (sp?) to me, so I bought a PS2 and havent stopped playing TMB yet, so cherio!!!
