Xbox 0wnz... period.

More complex games, better graphics if that matters to you, and way better gameplay in many games compared to Sony's offerings

Game Cube would be my second choice.

PS2 is growing very slowly on me... but the only neat thing (that kids would be better with) is their camera feature. Great potential for gaming imo.

All those systems are cheap, so it comes down to, what do ou want to spend (small diff between them all) and what games will you play. Nintendo games will always rock, but if u want the option of good wholesome violence and graphics/realism... go for xbox... or ps2 I guess.
