Where's the option for "I've never played it" or "No comment"?

Flaws with XBox:
  • Buggy.
    Not really any exclusives worth getting. (come to think of it, are there ANY true exclusives at all?)
    Big-ass controllers. (to be fair, though, the new type is supposed to be better)
    Why spend more on less? GameCube delivers more bang per buck than any other console to date, considering that virtually everybody has another way of playing DVDs, thus rendering that feautre useless.
    N00bs with headsets.
Need I continue?

Theres that Dead or Alive series I've heard of. I'll take Smash Bros and Tekken over DOA anyday though.

xbox is ok....

I don't have an xbox, I have a ps2. My dad got an xbox and it is neat but I'd rathered have my ps2. One of the only neat things about the xbox is that it comes with a hard drive so you don't load it up with saved games you don't need to buy a memory card. On the other hand ps2 has alot more game selection. Plus for me the next GTA game is only for ps2. Sorta why I bought it in the first place ;)

I've always thought that PCs were somewhat more expensive than consoles (rightly so, of course).

If you were saying that it costs more than the other consoles, then following that up with a comparison to PC makes no sense.

Back on topic: I have mostly played PSI/II, but prefer both PS and gamecube to XBox. I think the controller for Gamecube is the best.

Controller: GameCube

Most Games: Playstation 2

Most Exlusives: Gamecube

Cheaper: GameCube

Biggest Piece of crap ever: X Box

we see here that #1 GCN #2 PS2 and #4 X box

if 3 was added it would be dreamcast becaue it is better IMO and stepping on playstations heels for a system 2 or 3 years earlier. Just like Genesis Was Way better then SNES and Gamegear is the same as SP but the original black and white gameboy killed it? In conclusion best system now GCN best company SEGA

I own a Game-Cube but If i go down to my local gameshop "gamecity" i have a whole selection of 7 games 4 my Gmaecube and X-Box has more than half the shop. Seriously there is no exaseration in there

Pros & Cons for X-box
Pro...
They got wicked games "halo, ect"

They can play DVDs, Game Cube games, PS1 games and some PS2 games and can have games downloaded onto them and also use emulators to play gameboy games and stuff.

Most people would say they give better performance

Cons...
It looks like a huge elephant crap molded into a box shape

Microsoft are so far up themselves they porberly can't even see what there doing

The contrler is like playing a brick

the cable on the machine are tooo short


But i will neva regret going to the shop and getting my game-cube for 70 bucks cos the shop just wanted to get rid of them to make space for X-box games

And thats my to cents... what the hell does that mean?

I hate consoles in general... I can't seem to get on with them. I'd rather stay with my PC, if you XBOX-lovers don't mind. :)

Hold on... are you saying the X-box can play Gamecube games, PS1 and PS2 games?  :\

I see alot of biased opinions on here.

Have any of you Xbox haters actually sat down and played it? I for one can say that Chronicles or Riddick(unless you have a nice suped up comp) is by far the most intriguing FPS game I've played in YEARS. Halo 2 can't even hold a candle to whats going on in Chronicles of Riddick. Heck, Half Life 2 is even a bore compared to this game.

Personally I find the Xbox to be the best console on the Market. Graphics are awesome. Better the GC or PS2.

Now when it comes to best games...PS2 and GC have a bit more...however GC is lacking against the PS2. GC, to me is a bit cute...thats not including the RE series. Infact, the GC only has that series going for them right now. I'm not a mario fan anymore. I'm burnt out on that crap.

And so far in my town, I've done a bit of info digging on all the consoles. It seems that the PS2 is the most popular at the moment. Teenagers to young adults(18-23 age range) seemed to be picking up this system alot lately. The game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been ranking in the bucks. For many reasons. Its vulgarity(which I love ever so much!), and the fact that it might become a rare item. Our typical American Censorship organizations are trying to get this game taken off the market.

Yes I HAVE played the Xbox before. I didn't like the games that my bro had for it and it doesn't have ANYTHING that interests me.

Nah uh uh, Xbox and Gamecube's graphics are about equal. Besides, didn't you know that graphics don't make the game?
GC, to me is a bit cute...thats not including the RE series. Infact, the GC only has that series going for them right now. I'm not a mario fan anymore. I'm burnt out on that crap.
Oh boy...another GC is kiddy argument. :rolleyes And what was that about mario being crap?
The game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been ranking in the bucks. For many reasons. Its vulgarity(which I love ever so much!)
You play games for the violence and vulgarities? ...Whatever.
I would much rather play a "kiddy" game like Mario or Kirby then play any GTA game because GTA is a lame game, IMO. It was just boring and not fun. I could say more, but I don't want this to turn to a console flamewar, just defending the GC's name.

Lets face it each console has its own advantage.

Music head Xbox's cant play PS2 games and they cant play Gamecube games.

Plus PS2 also has a harddrive where games can be downloaded to it and there are Snes and Megadrive etc emulators for it too.
