From someone who has both, I have to go with the box. Even as much as I hate Gates, it is truly a superior product. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect. I actually think the controls for the PS2 are far better, but the graphics (especially on a big screen) are far better, and the hardware is much more flexible. The biggest advantage though has to be the inclusion of a hard drive. Having to fuble with memory cards on the PS2 is such a pain in the ass. It took me a long time to come to this conclusion, especially since I was a die-hard PS2 person. I was actually one of the people that camped out 12 hours to buy it (very geeky, I know).
