Gran Turismo 4. Better than any half baked Project Gotham effort the XBOX can cook up. There are no rivals for it on any console, especially the XBOX.

Quake 3? Deary me you REALLY need to play some better games. And have you EVER played your PS2 online? It's really really not worth it.
The only games that I can ever think of that are worth the price of the PS2 are GTA (comes out, and is better on PC/Xbox), PES4 (same deal) and MGS3. Apart from that there's really nothing.

Whether you prefer the PS2 or the GC depends entirely on the games you are into. The PS2 is far better for racing games and sports games, and I have found that 1st person shooters and RPG's are generally better on the GC.

Edited cause from reading the topic again it seems out of PS2 and GC?

Well yeah PS2 is great if you like spending money to play with 4 players, but i prefer it free out of the box (multi-tap)

I got a PS2 at the start cause of mainly GTA/MGS2/FF series. MGS2 was a let down, it wasnt bad just wasnt as good as i expected, i also then got a better PC so i had GTA and FF on that. So i got rid of it and used the money for the GC.

GC is better for me, people look for different things. Controller feels nicer and it has nintendo games, obviously. The few games i miss out on (being released on Xbox/PS2) i get on PC or can cope without them lol. DVD play back doesnt bother me, it wasnt that great a quality, and i have about 3 DVD players at home and a collective 15 at uni to use :x.

At first i only knew one person with a GC, everyone had a PS2, so checking out games etc was a problem. But now at uni we have 4 GCs and 6 Xboxs...plus we dont borrow games, we just crash into their room for the night ;)

Since most people own PS2's, its easy to share game discs. So you can take a game disc round to someone elses house, and play it there on their PS2. This is also handy if you want to "try out" a game you dont yet own, but someone else does.

As an F1 fan, playing F1 games is a chore.

And I mean, a real chore

Yes, it can actually.

Oh, and the games you listed aren't anything special- with a few of them being cross-platform.

I would have to say PS2 - which is in line with what most other people I know would also say.

GTA series
GT series
Quake3
Conflict Desert Storm
Jak and Daxter
F1 series
Need for speed
Burnout

The Sims was quite a good port from PC - if you like that sort of thing.

PS2 could play DVD's straight away - which was hand when it was the only DVD player in the house - less so now as nearly every room has a DVD player.

Plus you can go online with PS2. Can GameCube do that in the UK?

Woops usually i am good at maths, i wasn't going to put eye toy, but then PS2 would only have 3 reasons, and its not that bad.
