I'm looking at upgrading my "Pong" video game to something a little more modern. I had fun this past weekend playing Mech Warrior against a little 4 year old girl at Best Buy, although I kept getting my ass kicked.

I have seen and played the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube but am confused at what system offers the best games, graphics, performance and expandability.

What video game system would you recommend and why.
