Dude trust me, I own both versions and have played both extensively from day 1. The only reason to own the XBox version is if you don't have a PS2 (or like me if you only have friends on XBox Live you want to play). The game loads nearly the same on both systems despite the Xbox hard drive, the graphics are nearly the same although slightly better on Xbox but bottom line the PS2 plays alot more smooth and the frame rate is constant. EA just for whatever reason still does a better job of programming for PS2 and doesn't really take any advantage of the XBox special features (such as custom soundtrack). To me this really shouldn't be a hard decision, the PS2 is a much better pick if you've got both systems and only plan to buy one.
