Books:
Your local bookshop will have all the books you'll need ( "borders" has a good selection )

PS2 Programming
I can't quite recall but I believe its called YBASIC, anyway, its not quite what you'd learn first, and it'll be different from most languages in that it needs to be run on the ps2 system, not a computer..

programming for the xbox, however, would be like programming openGL or something.. I imagine anyway ( as xbox is just a pc in a box ).

Languages
The best language to learn depends on what you want to achieve, if games is your aim, go for c / c++..

if crappy-coded yet fastly-developed applications is your aim, go with a .net language ( c#.net, vb.net, asp.net )

and if portability is what your after java is for you! java.sun.com to download the sdk.
