A friend of mine at work was thinking of getting a PS2 and I convinced him to go for it. Like Dasilva mentioned, there's a load of excellent games to try. Looking for a slick and addictive action game, pick up "Devil May Cry" (or even "God of War"). Want to be immersed in an adventure-style game, grab "Beyond Good & Evil" or "Prince of Persia."
There's so many good-quality games on that console to keep you busy for a few years. As much as I'm tempted to get the newer consoles, it's just best to wait and see how the battle unfolds. Plus I'll wait for them to get just a "little" cheaper or for those bundle-packs to come along. Which will be like what...10 years or so? Until then I've got my PS2 and the always reliable PC.
