Another reason to go for the PS2 is that a lot of developers build for
the lowest common denominator, and the PS2 is it.  Granted, I know
that makes the PS2 sound bad, but it's reality.  Frequently, games
that are ported over to XBox don't look a lot better than PS2
versions.  Just because developers don't want to go through the
trouble of making a completely new version of the game.  So what ends
up happening is you get a PS2 version of the game with some
bumpmapping or a few additional textures.  

If you want the widest range of games the PS2 is the console to buy.
