I have all 3 current gen systems, have had them since launch, and still have, and play, my PS2 the most.
The PS2 is far from dead. "No new games after this year" doesn't mean squat until one of the current gen comes remotely close to having as good of a games catalog.
eBay + GameStop == RPG + Action game happiness for eons with a PS2. The only real reason to buy a 360 over a PS2 is for the online gaming, or if you've got a HDTV, and will be happy with a very limited selection of RPGs by comparison. Also, wireless controllers are readily available for the PS2 -- heck most of the new controllers on store shelves for the PS2 are wireless.
Honestly, my 360 controller rechargable packs... don't seem to last very long. They spend a good 20-25% of their usage time plugged in anyhow, in my home. I hear you can use rechargable AAs, but there's some notes on the controller that state specifically that you *shouldn't* do that, ever. Perhaps because that would mean MS didn't get your money. I dunno.
