We all sit here and go the PS2 has DVD capability and the X-box has internet at launch and the Gamecube is only $200 etc, etc, etc.

Why can't we understand no matter the price, the extras or what is bundled with the system we buy the system for one reason. The reason why I prefer Nintendo is because i love Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Perfect Dark, Lylat Wars, Smash Brothers, Metroid etc...

I do not care if CD's are better than Carts i canno get Zelda on a Playstation CD and I can on an N64 cart. All these extras are meaningless I do not care!

Why because in my mind the vast ammount of games I prefer originate on a system made by the mighty Nintendo and not by any third party developer that Sony have and that is why i get my system, not the specs, not the extras, not the internet, not my friends no the games and this is why we constantly back up the console but we know what we really want to say "yes but it hasn't got Zelda"!

Or "Sounds good but no Grand Turismo mate" maybe we should try to understand that ok the PS2 is big, ugly, only 2 controllers, expensive and with long loading times but they prefer the games over the ones on the Gamecube so well what can we say.

Nothing and ok we will continue to think ours is the best choice but please throwing the lack of disc space in my face will have no effect what so ever because you just don't have Perfect Dark or all those others and as Forest Gump would say that is all I have to say about that!

No :-)

I can't comment apart from to say that the PS2 loading times won't be that much different to that GC's

And yes, I do know what I'm talking about, I've researched it.
