Ok, I got a PS2, but now I'm looking into another system. I use to be all anti X-box and didn't favor the GameCube to much, but I don't know now, I'm actually looking into it now.

Help me decide! No "X-box sucks, gamecube rox" please! That won't help =-\

Ok, on Gamecube, from what I see, it costs 150, so 200 i have it and a game, and some of the games I like are Smash Bros, Resident Evil, Myiomoto's (sp?) games (Like Zelda and Mario), Medtroid Prime, but with all the old games coming back again, the same fate as the 64? I just played and really liked Smash Bro's at Best Buy ;p. Also the GBA interchange stuff.

On X-Box, there is Halo, Dead or Alive 3, Outlaw Gold, Crazy Taxi 3, and Jet Grind Radio, and it allready has on-line capapilities, but the system starts at 200 dollars....and the controller isn't to big for me, I'm not 14 so my hands are fully grown :p And the system has alot of memory/RAM and a hard drive.

Ok, can anyone give me more pros/cons and other factors to help me decide? But dont' worry, I allready have my PS2....yummy....and still will buy for it. I love my PS2, and I will be on-line August 27 with everyone else...but I have to say anti-aliasing is pretty nice, and the other systems graphics might be a tad better...and I one more thing i want to know, which system has better graphics between the 2?

THANKS!!!!!

If you like power, CD, DVD, and all the computer crap get an X-box

If you like having a lot of "quality" games get a game cube


IMO if you have a strong computer, get a Game cube since the Xbox is already a comp, and since you already have a PS2, then get a game cube

Or just get all three if you want to....

SSJKarma 07-31-2002 05:17 PM

if you go by the hardware...
X-BOX is better than PS2 and GAMECUBE
but if you go with all the games on...
X-BOX games are all out on computers too !
GAMECUBE has lots more games than the N64 (not just classics)
example: BLOODY ROAR PRIMAL FURY, 007 AGENT UNDER FIRE, SONIC ADVENTURE 2 BATTLE, and others that aren't
just all out classics but have new style of gameplay. like the
new STARFOX (adventure & flying)

like TarkanX said, the difference is the fact that you have a computer...

EDIT: i forgot to tell you that some games are simply not playable with the GAMECUBE controllers, like the 007 game ! buttons are too wrongfully placed and you have to play with both analogues + the buttons that are untouchable when you got the analogues in thumbs !

:eek: dont even think about gamecube. Head straight to the xboxes :uhoh:

skate919 08-02-2002 11:06 AM

For Xbox there is also: Splinter Cell (not out yet but is called the MGS2 killer), Hunter:The Reckoning, MGSX, Halo, Amped, Rallisport Challenge, Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowmind, Jet Set Radio Future, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (not out), Tony Hawk 2x, Tony Hawk 3, codename: Project Ego (when this game comes out, it is said to blow all others away but it is under a codename so it is very hush hush), Gunvalkrie, Rainbow Six: Ghost Recon (not out yet but will be soon), Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (not out), Dr. Muto, LOTR: Two towers (coming out on every system), X-Men: Next Dimension (a fighting game that will have 24 characters and one extra for xbox that is supposed to be really good with MvC combos and such), Aggresive Inline, and much more.

I have PS2 and Xbox and I love 'em both, but whatever system you pick, you will be happy with it.

Well im a gamecube owner...so id say go with gamecube, nothing on the xbox makes me go "WOW I JUST GOT TO HAVE A XBOX FOR THIS GAME!!!" i buy systems for games, not power, and the xbox just dosent have that "wow" factor im looking for, im a old nintendo fan anyways, i look forward to metroid prime.. and other classic remakes..xbox..for now..has too many crap and riped of games, like mgs substance..u can get that on PS2 aleady instead of having to wait for some "directors cut" game..pfff too many games that u can get else were..well thats what i think..gamecube or ps2, xbox NO!

Hmm..is that why most of the time Mario games sell so well? Haha... :lol:

SiLent_BoB 08-02-2002 02:58 PM

Xbox is like "PLAY ME BITCH OR I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY SUPER GRAPHICS AND PANTIE FIGHTER GIRLS!"

gamecube is like " plz play with me i will be your best freind..."

ps2 just sells itself because YOU CANNOT KILL MGS2 and it is gonna own all those FF games.

SuperSonicX 08-02-2002 03:17 PM

Metal Gear isnt everything..

:lol: :lol: :lol:
well i say xbox even though my hands are too small for the controllers but its all good

Warmor 08-02-2002 07:09 PM

I don't know if I mentioned that, but I allready have a PS2, tons of games now, and I'm going on-line August 27 with it, but I need another fix, thats why I'm doing this. I was really looking into the X-Box, but I might go with GameCube because of the nostalgia factor, and how are the graphics diffrent between the 2?

Anyone know where I can get specs for all the systems? Like from a non bias source?

SuperSonicX 08-02-2002 07:21 PM

Well here is a site i know for the gamecube fanatic..http://members.aol.com/mips36/index.html

SSJKarma 08-03-2002 10:18 AM

i remember seeing the difference between those system on
www.XBOX.com

DC PS2 GAMECUBE X-BOX

it was good to see that DC had more power than PS2 !

for gamecube go on www.nintendo.com it is all there !

(R)Dragon(R) 11-23-2002 02:44 PM

Pick GAMECUBE. Trust me i have every system except X-Box. Gamecube is better. Sure some X-Box games r good but gamecube is just getting started. If you go to www.gamecube.com you will see all of the games coming out. ONe game is capcom vs SNK 2. Others are mortal kombat, X men, And all of the mario games like mario kart, golf, tennis, party. Get gamecube. X-box doesn't have much games.

Squall87 11-24-2002 01:41 PM

*cough* does it matter? *cough* :biggrin:


X-box owns in power, simply put. but, the others are right, it's just a PC. I personally love the games that are on X-box. *Halo, Halo 2 (when it comes out), Doom 3, DOA:3, Crazy Taxi, MGS:2(S) others*

Gamecube, I only like some of the games. Don't get me wrong, it's a great system. But it only has Sonic, and a few others I like.

X-box has online, so does PS2, X-box has DVD so does PS2, and from what I hear. X-box has Dolby 5.1 "faking" surround sound, and has D5.1 ON all the time. which the PS2 CAN'T do. (except on DVD)

Gamecube DOSN'T have online, or Dolby 5.1 on all the time.

Also, dubya tee eff is up with Nintendo not giving out Gamecube's (even when it was Dolphin) poly count? Are they so scared that they will be laughed at (which isn't true) that they don't want to give it out?

and, what is the point of this? HALF OF THESE GAMES ARE CROSS-CONSOLE!!! (*cough* MGS, MGS:2 *cough*) half of them are comming to other systems, just with/without other features that were in the other systems.

[edit]and not to go off topic, but Dragon, can I steal your Jessica Alba pic? :biggrin: [/edit]

RIGHT ON SONIC!

I have a gamecube and im proud i got it. At first I was a little bummed out because the only good game i played was SSBM. The other games werent as good as i had suspected (Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Super Mario Sunshine)
But now around Christmas time, all the great games are coming out. I can't wait for Wario World, and I can't wait to play the Sonic Mega Collection (with all the sonic classics) and Mario Party 4 (as queer as you others think it is)

mysticveggeto 11-26-2002 02:39 PM

get gamecube because most of the xboxes games are copied thta system 90% of gamecubesgames

SuperSonicX 11-27-2002 09:40 AM

And dont forget Metriod Prime..awsome game..if you like Halo..u'll Love this game.. :D

akuma_forever 11-27-2002 10:14 AM
