Welll...I'm buying one of them for pretty much the express purpose of having the ability to play stranger. I've got a beefy PC and a gamecube and have been weighing the plusses and minuses of the PS2 and XBOX. The XBOX does seem to suffer from a lack of exclusives, of the main games I've wanted to play on it (Stranger, Advent Rising, Halo, Halo 2, and Knights of the Old Republic), only one is exclusive as I've already got Halo on my PC, but there's lots of games I'd like to play on the PS2. But being an animator myself, I like the pretty graphics...so....the jury is still out. Thankfully there's still enough time before stranger comes out for another price drop...(me hopes
