Xbox is great alternative, much more reliable as hardware, has better multiplatform ports (e.g. Just Cause is a joke on PS2), is still cheap as fuck plus is emulation heaven. It really doesn't deserve reputation of 'Halo machine that killed PC gaming' or something.
Because it really is just an Halo machine. Just compare exclusives.
Aside from Halo 1/2 and Ninja Gaiden Black, the OG XBox has fucking nothing worthwhile. Because even at the time all it's other games existed either on the PC or had better versions in the other platforms.
Not including the Dreamcast, it was the worst console in the 6th generation in terms of software.
With the PS2, just in terms of exclusives you had great shit like: Godhand; DMC3:SE; MGS3:Subsistence; SMT:Nocturne; Tekken 5; Silent Hill 2; Disgae; Gran Turismo 4; etc...
And even the GameCube while not with as extensive library as the PS2, you would still get much more bang for your buck than the XBox: REmake; Metroid Prime 1+2; F-Zero GX; SSB Melee; Four Swords Adventures; P.N.03; FE: Path of Radiance; Pikimin; etc...
