yeah, but this is my point of view. Nintendo GC is born only for play the videogames and i think it's the best.
I miss DVD too, but I bought GAMECUBE 'cos i wanted the best consolle for play videogames and GC is the best, imo. Next time i'll buy a real dvd too.
The GC games has a lot of creativity and fantasy more so ppl call all this... "The Nintendo difference"
Anyway Playstation2 is much better than Xbox, imo.

GC has only got a few good games so far (star wars, smash bros. melee and a few others, luigi's mansion) I would like to have PD Zero, Metroid Prime, Zelda etc. but it'll be a while before they are released...

In this period, I'm playing with PIKMIN and it's an amazing game too. Then the 4 October i'm waiting for Supermario Bros sunshine.
Don't forget RESIDENT EVIL, a scary but wonderful game.

hire out the machines and games you are interested in.. give them all a go..
the games are what you buy a machine for..
a stand alone dvd player is pretty cheap now.. or you could import the panasonic gamecube that can play dvds also ..

The best console is with no doubt Xbox. It is not the best one if you just buy your games in the store but if you get that "chip" or whatever you call it, then you will get the best game machine ever.
BUt you will have to put all the components inside the machine yourself.
not very easy but well worth it. It took about 5 hours to put all the components at the right place.
You guys who have done the same thing with your old ps1 knows what im talking about. but this was 5 times harder.
I meen come on. dvd, vcd, download every game you want from the internet and you can fill like 5-7 games saved into the actuall xbox. or burn them on rewritale cd-roms. Many of my friends
has done that chip thing and they are more satisfied than ever.
I dont think Microsoft likes it but we poor people without money...yes we like it a lot. ...fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read somewhere ( certainly on /.) that you can run mame (this fabulous arcade emulator) on the Xbox -> So I would definitively buy this Xbox & load it with megs of old arcade games. Make sure first that my previous info is correct :)

PS2 has been on the scene for way longer than the XBOX.... so its backed up a fair catalog of games.
Give the XBOX some time to catch up.

My choice would be Playstation 2, heres why:
The Xbox does have a *bit* better graphics for most games, but not all, there are lots of PS2 games that have just as good graphics, if not rivaling to be better. They will get better too, just like they did for ps1, remember those first games? Shitty graphics, the last of the ps1 games had a lot better graphics, game play and all that. So the ps2 will get better and better, so will the games. Already, the ps2, like the ps1 is known for its massive selection of amazing games, I myself own 8 games for the ps2, and by the end of this month I will have bought 3 more.
It also depends on what games, or type of game, or even series you are interested in. Companies only release certain games on certain systems sometimes, like Nintendo runs the Resident Evil series only, and GTA3 and GTA3: vice city (the new grand theft auto this month! yay!). And the list goes on....
Its a bad question to ask which one is the best, but more which one you should like the most. I tried all three new systems (gamecube, xbox and I have owned a ps2 for a year). I enjoyed the ps2 the most, and I still do. There are so many good games to get.

Hmmm.....both the DVD-GameCube and the modified Xbox sound like music to my ears.....
At this point I must confess I like the xbox games more (PS2 and GC fans cannot deny: Halo fucking rules!). On the other hand I've really enjoyed those typical N64 titles like Zelda and Perfect Dark and they will most certainly not be released for xbox or PS2.....Xbox and GC are in my top 2 at the moment
I think I will give a good night's sleep

Microsoft owns RARE, the next Perfect Dark,banjo kazooie,conker are XBOX exclusive.
gc is the best choice for me. theyre are so many great games out already and a lot more comin out heres the games im interested in\want to get:
E : EXCLUSIVE TO GC -Wario World(E) -Resident Evil 0(E) -Resident Evil 4(E) -Metroid Prime(E) -Animal Crossing(out)(E) -Star Fox Adventures(out)(E) -Die Hard Vendetta(E maybe) -F Zero(E and arcade) -Zelda(E) -Mario Kart(online, maybe)(E) -Phantasy star5 online eps 1 and 2 (XBOX ALSO) -Soul Caliber 2(PS2,XBOX also) -Too Human(E) -XIII(ps2,xbox) -Virtua Fighter Quest(E maybe) -1080 White Storm(E) -Star Fox shooter(by Namco)(E,arcade) -Timesplitters 2(ps2,xbox) -Aggressive Inline(out)(ps2,xbox) -Medal of Honor Frontline(ps2,xbox) -Capcom vs snk 2 EO(out)(E, but its older version is on ps2)
-007 Nightfire(xbox,ps2) -Cas Ra(unkown Capcom Game)(E) -Glass Rose(unkown capcom game)(unkonwn) -Project BG and E(E)
these are all ones im interested in
also if you only want a ps2 or xbox go for ps2 its much better. xbox isnt all that great to me and ps2 is ok, ill buy a ps2 when its real cheap and buy the few good titles such as mgs2, ico etc. and few good ps1 titles.

oh and by the way Halo sucks im afraid. the single player is almost completely nonexistent(awful), multiplayer is not even that fun, I think, also it has godawful controls. this game did nothing to further develop the fps genre. Ill wait for doom3,unreal tourn2003\unreal2 and half life 2 to do that.

1. Burn DC emulators from the net & roms onto a CD. 2. Put it in your DC. 3. Play.

Gamecube is my fave... Nintendo just has this magic that Sony and Microsoft lack. Sega had the magic in the Genesis days... what this magic is, I'm not sure. But Mario, Metroid, Zelda... Nintendo is the be all and end all.
