I don't know what to do.
You see, I'm a big wrestling fan and I so want to play the Wrestlemania games, exclusive to Xbox. But I don't want to get rid of my PS2.
I don't know anyone who owns an Xbox and I don't know of any place where you can rent an Xbox from. What does one do?

Don't get a Gamecube! I bought one because there were a couple of games I liked the look of. However, after a while these games got old and as new titles were coming to virtually every console except Gamecube (all there seemed to be was a new Mario game every month), I sold my Gamecube and got a PS2 instead. I've never looked back.
