1] - Sony Playstation II 2] - Nintendo Cube 3] - Microsoft X-Box
I have both PS2 and Gamecube...but here in the UK there just aren't enough games for me to really draw comparisions properly between the two consoles.....Rogue Leader (Star Wars on GC) is awesome! And of course Gamecube doesn't play DVDs, but the price tag reflects that.....
Hehehehhe 30 years this September Woofer eh? Welcome to my world!!
'72 Rules! Yay!

Cube, especially after tommorow.........SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!
and damn, the wavebird wireless controller makes gamming 2x fun.
PS2 has great titles, but graphics are getting left behind.
XBOX is great, I'm just not a supporter, I chose GameCube over it, and have been glad I did.
Some like it hot.......

I try not to think about the actual consoles but the games themselves, which system has most games that you want to play? as for the x-box I think microsofts better at the pc market, that contoller is a shocker indeed

1.X-Box 2.Gamecube 3.PS2
Like I said, there are going to be some BRILLIANT AND INNOVATIVE games exclusively for the Xbox come Christmas 2002/Q1 2003. Do searches for Project Ego, B.C., and Psychonauts. The former two are both being developed by seperate branches of Lionhead Studios(Black & White fame). Psychonauts was conceived by the creator of Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango(Tim Schafer I believe).. Three timeless adventure games put out by Lucas Arts for the PC.

I'm not sure what everyone's gripe is with the Xbox controller.. It feels fine to me. In fact, I picked up one of the smaller Japanese 'S' gamepads(made in response to complaints that the original was too bulky)and have only used it two or three times. Does anyone have any valid reasons why the Xbox is a 'horrid thing' or is it just the old 'Everything by Microsoft sucks because they have lots of money'?

As much as I love the Original Nintendo... they dont last very long. If you've got a working one.. dont lose!!!!
I've gone thru about 3-4 NES recently, and they only last for about 5 hrs.

Go with the Gamecube!! With its ridiculously cheap price and awesome graphics (Rogue Leader is like watching a film and Turok Evolution is gonna cane the same game on any other format), it's gotta be Gamecube!

It all depends on what games you're interested in buying...
people buy to play nowerdays but I bought my PS2 coz I wanted wipeout F, GTA3, FF10 andMTV music Gen 2
Think of all the games that are out right now and in the imidiate future and decide which ones you want... then weigh up the pros and cons and take into account the multi-platform games.
Does anyone else agree with me that this is the only non-bias way of deciding what console to buy?

every console has its good games, but i prefer ps2. i think it has more.
(besides, the gamecube controller is hard to handle, and the x-box is bad because x-box = microsoft and microsoft = evil!!)

x-box sucks because Microsoft sucks, pretty obvious. I avoid Windows whenever/wherever possible and I certainly won't be going near any bulky controllered shite design x-box!

Being that I'm a HUGE Sega fan, I'll be one of the first to say that the xbox will (isn't now) be the best of the consoles. Panzer Dragoon Orta, House of the Dead 3, Shenmue 2, Toe Jam and Earl 3, Sega GT 2, crazy taxi 3, PSO etc. and those are just sega games!! The list goes on with Splinter Cell, Blinx (looks brilliant (finally an evolution in gaming using the hard drive of the boX), Dead to Rights, Roject Ego,Steel Battalion, Quantum Redshift, Metal Gear Solid X, and so on, the list goes a lot longer than the other consoles that's for sure :)
But if you want something for now, I'd say get a Dreamcast if you don't have one already. They are the best system ever and I'm still buying games for it (Shooter Ikaruga next week!!), Marvel VS. Capcom 2 is also worth getting the machine for in iteself...oh well thats my speel.

for those that whinge about the xbox pad, there is a second 'first-party' pad out called the s-pad or some crap, its more like a mix between the ps2 one and Dreamcast one and is said by many to be the best controller ever...The gamecube controller is the worst *imagines playing a fighter on GC* %o

well x box got alot of the pc style games the reest of the line of games is just not interesting so far
i wanted to get one for xmass and now i am re thinking since the games are not that all
GC is getting alot of FUN games you know the ones that you dont have to KILL everything fun games and some new dark games but the thing is the games on GC are DIFFERENT from the ones on PS2 the games on Xbox are a BAD and CHEAP and so much like what on PS2
first choice PS2 2nd choice GC last and least Xbox....save this for your xmass... fro your birthday it is a PS2 man

Soul Edge and Soul Blade were also good... lets not forget our roots on the psx versions....
PS: All "VS" games are streetfighter sins and should never have been made. very little skill involved. So little it'll make you cry.

gcube has the best gameplay andis soooo addicting xbox has pc style games indeed and why should you play pc games on a console if you already have a pc and the controls are crap (first person shooter w/ a xbox gamepad just sucks) the only good thing on xbox was halo the rest is crap
gamcube has better gfx than ps2 and gamecube is cheaper
