I already know that ps2 has better controls in specific games, like the tony hawk's series, metal gear games, etc... What I'm asking about here is the visuals. I need to know whether multiformat games are going to look better on GC or PS2. And please I don't want anybody to tell me to get either a ps2, or a gc for some other reason, because I already got both, and I want to know for which one should I buy the multiformat games.

Oh that's you?

I apologise I thought it was some yank who was annoying me.

Ah crap I think I blocked further friend requests... :S

What the full gamertag? I'll send you a request instead. :)

Personally I can't stand the MGS control system it feels so backward.

Why they chose MGS over Winback is still a great puzzle.

If you like MGS games give Operation: Winback a look on the PS2/N64 as it's ... better.

Well, first of all it's the only one of the 3 that has all 3 metal gear solid games. To us it doesn't really matter, but actually it's a very sensitive point. Suppose a newbie decided to buy a console and can only afford one of the 3, if he gets the Xbox, that'll be the worst choice in the metal gear aspect, since he'll only be playing mgs2(Which makes him totally miss the whole point of the series) . If he gets GC, he'll get mgs1, with mgs2 graphics. Nice, but we have to be aware of the fact that he still needs 2. But the ps2 owner is an absolute winner. He can play the original mgs1, play mgs2, and even get mgs3 !! Which is why I got ps2 in the 1st place. I never cared about graphics, all what matters is the games, that's why gc was my 2nd choice, not xbox.
Secondly: Final Fantasy. Nothing can replace it, and I mean nothing. Even if it was only ff7, It's still worth it.

Neither.

Xbox. Nabs multiformat releases + has Custom Soundtracks, the best online setup and a harddisk so you don't have to muck about with memorycards.

If you want any of the Nintendo exclusive titles then get a cube, but the xbox is the best for multiformat titles.

What worries me is that there are so many stupid people out there who buy PS2s.

I mean what's the point? You're buying a console that has the worst graphics of the three, the poorest exculsive games of the three and it can only have two players unless you have a multimap. Plus it's at the same price of a console far better than it (XBOX) and higher priced than the much better GC.

It doesn't make any sense :S
