I'm on the brink of exhanging my PS2 for a Gamecube..... There is this shop in the UK called Electronic Boutique who do part-exchanges, and I have about 17 PS2 to trade as well. Some of my favourite PS2 games are available/ will be available on Gamecube, and the graphics are much better on the machine.... What do you think? |
||||||||

go for it! :D |

Well I went to Electronic Boutique PS2 and games in hand to do a deal - but didn't in the end! 1) I wasn't that impressed with the quality of the graphics compared to the PS2 - it wasn't that big a difference to warrent the expense. 2) The guy in the shop said he had both, and that the graphics were pretty much the same..... 3) Finally, they offered me £100 for my PS2 (which isn't that bad)....but I also had about 17 games, a multitap and 3 extra controllers and they said they'd give me £120 for that!!!!! I told them to forget it. I had games like Final Fantasy X, SSX tricky to name a few recent games of which I'd paid at least £35-40 each for. So I told them to forget....and left the shop. At the end of the day, if I had traded in all my Sony stuff for a Gamecube, I would've come home with the console, 2 controllers and maybe 3 games if I were lucky........certainly not worth it. As I have said before I will wait for the PS3, at least there will be a noticable diifference between the two machines then! (I'd hope....) .....anyway, I bought Spiderman for my PS2 - quite a good game! So that's this weekends gameplay sorted! BTW Cabbog: I wouldn't touch an XBOX with a barge pole - Microsoft should realise they'll never be a success in the games market. The sales of the machine are doing real shitty, hence MS slashing the prices. They should stick to what they do best - dominating the PC market place!! Hehehehe |

En garde! The Xbox has been outselling the Gamecube in Japan(!) for several weeks and just recently gained a strong foothold in Europe. I'll admit that the first wave of games were garbage(with the exception of Halo which is excellent) but by the end of the year there will be some BRILLIANT products out(Project Ego and Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic are two that come to mind). I suggest sifting through some of the previews at any major console-gaming site... |

nintendo seem to always deliver in the gamplay dept but I wouldn't give up on the PS2 yet, with such games like Metal Gear Solid2:SUBSTANCE on the way you'll be kicking yourself, that's of you like MGS2 that is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sell everything and get a super nintendo and an assload of games |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Been there done that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The X-Box is most certaintly NOT outselling the Gamecube in Japan, or anywhere else! It's dying! And Chris... keep your PS2, buy a GC when Mario Sunshine comes out in September |
||||||||
|
|

hahahahahahah oh my god there's a game called MARIO SUNSHINE?!?! what the fuck is that? |

I've been playing on the PS2 this evening, with Final Fantasy X, GTA3 and my new Spiderman - and it is so good! I agree Jarworski - XBOX is living on borrowed time! I can't believe what I almost did! *smooths PS2 with tender care!* |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i wouldn't trade in my PC's gaming ability (well of course not the whole thing) for any console nevermind all the other stuff... just game-wise, i like PCs MUCH more |
||||||||
|

As a Gamecube owner I suggest you SELL THAT SHIT, SELL IT NOW. DONT LOOK AT IT, JUST SELL IT Then we can talk about the games we've played, and talk about the console itself cause it looks phat! |
||||||||

you've failed me Old Daddy |
||||||||

I have one =oD |
||||||||
|
|

I think the Gamecube looks as if it were created by Fisher Price!! The console that is, the controllers are cool though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It looks like a £30 Alba hi fi It's very ugly, especially next to my Dreamcast, but fuck it Nintendo rules the gaming world and always will, best games of ALL time! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Keep the PS2. But they ALL suck! Super NES, Genesis, NES... THAT was the Golden Era of video gaming. Sniff... I miss it. :-( Hold me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it does, it fits anywhere and looks super cute. Trust me its great...Yeah Jarworski!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
remember when the desision was super nintendo or genesis? i sure as fuck do and i chose genesis, but i wish i had chosen super nintendo. i have both now though, so yay! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Genesis was the shit!!! and so was Super Nintendo!!! C'mon most of the games on that were RPG games cant get any better the that Gamecube is awesome!!! I play till the crack of dawn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have it all on my computer, now were bestfriends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had both. It was a tie for the better machine for me, cause the Megadrive had the definitive console versions of Sensible Soccer and PGA Tour Golf, plus it had Shinobi. SNES had Super Mario 4, F-Zero and Super Mario Kart... hmmm, no I think the SNES wins just cause of Mario Kart =oD |

I still have my Chrono Trigger poster on my wall, put it up there as SOON as I tore it out of the box on that magical winter day in '95. Been up there since. I love it, it inspires me. Every game should try to match it, but, alas, it can never again happen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The graphics on the GameCube are fresh, have you seen Star Wars? its nice work man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My whole point here was, that considering the games I have and that there isn't a major different in the machines, it would not of been a worthwhile investment replacing a PS2 with a Gamecube. I'm not knocking the machine by any means....I not questioning the machines abilities - this was the right decision to make! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have all kinds of shit on my computer, but most people don't understand how i feel like i need the actual cartridges. i really want chrono trigger and FF3 |
||||||||
|
|

Go to my link Chris, have a look at some Mario movies... it's niiiiiiiice |

is my avatar not loading for anyone else? |
||||||||
|

|

I am planning on playing Chrono Trigger after I beat out Earthbound, but I have it ha ha ha Alright Chris you know what to do, ps2 is over with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see it It's a multi coloured light sabre!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did.......looks good! I'm sure Zelda will be good on the GC as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There are also Zelda movies on there. It's VERY cartoonish, but uses the same style graphics as Jet Set Radio, except much better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Over with - lol!!! Gamecube will NEVER have the same massive games range as Playstation. Besides, Nintendo should have made the Gamecube backwards compatible to play the N64 roms as well. And a DVD player built in would've been nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Then again thats why it selling at the price it is! I suppose Nintendo probably bargained on their loyal customers simply hanging onto the N64 if they wanted to continue playing the games. And as to Microsofts XBOX, I know that plays DVDs but lets face it, they've fucked up big time with that haven't they! Hehehehehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GC isn't that far behind. The third party releases are thick and thin now. Besides, there's only three games on the PS2 that I'd ever want to play. The rest look abysmal. I NEVER play my N64 anymore. The graphics are so murky it's horrible. And I have three DVD players, so that was hardly essential.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think with games consoles, it's down to the particular point in time, that you buy one. I bought the PS2 when it first came out! No other console came close to it! Those who are buying a console brand new today....i'd advise to get a Gamecube (or an XBOX if I hated them) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey you dont know what youre talking about...youre still a PS2 fan arent you? thats why you think GameCube cant get any close to PS2 then it is already, you'll be more shocked then you think. The only reason I got a gamecube was because I wanted to play games not haev to deal with high f- shit,I just wanted to play games like Smash Bros or monkey ball.!!! I love you gamecube |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nintendo kids games you mean? I prefer games like Grand Theft Auto 3 - which is being released when on Gamecube - oh yes.....never! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about METRIOD for the GC, I've been able to resist the GC so far (content with my PS2) but when that comes out along with Zelda + Mario it's going to be hard to resist , I thought it might be a shame that the GC version of metriod is in 3d but they're also making a 2D version for Gameboy advance!!!! yippeeee |
||||||||

|
|
fuck 128 bit,.... it's all about 8 bit retro-ness |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to admit some of my favourite games are on the older formats.... Pacman (the original is a favourite of mine) Donkey Kong Frogger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still remeber buying mags like CVG back in the days,.when they reviewed C64 games and spektrum ones next 2 megadrive etc. Being a C64 owner myself ,I always drooled at the 16 bit comp. screenshots. Nowadays kids R spoiled with eyecandy,.seams like gameplay has become a less important factor. browsing through my ol' Zapp!64 collection always brings a tear 2 my eye |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck...Zap 64..now that is going back a while.... I used to get Crash , the Spectrum version of ZAP...pukka magazines for their day... and yeah, I agree with you about gameplay...I never seem to play CG's anymore; perhaps I should take em up again, the other half is talking about buying a GameCube (altho I'd prefer a PS2 for the DVD drive really...)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
goddamm ZZap 64, that was an awesome mag from my C64 days.Can anyone remember the 3D issue they put out with 3dglasses! one of the best games I ever played on the C64 would have been OPERATION FIRESTART, it was basicly a ripoff of the aliens movie into a game, it all seemed so good back in the day!!!! |

Why's everyone spitting on the Xbox? Because it was made by Microsoft? It's got much more horsepower than either the PS2 or the Gamecube, the game lineup is looking fantastic, built in broadband support and an 8 gigabyte hardrive making it possible to actually patch or modify games(when's the last time you did that on PS2?), not to mention the advanced Nvidia Graphics Processor and financial backing from one of the most prosperous companies in the universe .. |

the ps2 dvd software bites.it can't play loads of dvds. infact i know many ppl who had to get a seperate dvd player after getting a ps2 due to the huge incompatibilty list. also, the features are so shitty. ps2 has the best games at the moment...but they are all rentals...never really buy a next-gen game...they are all so short/easy. but really fucking bad ass! |
