I think you done the right thing on dumping your Gamecube,PS2 is much better.It's got smoother graphics and plays DVDs.The place with the cheapest PS2 that I could find was at www.amazon.co.uk,but it depends on which colour you want,black or silver?.Black=£125,silver=£135(Brand new).

PS2 is good, but smoother graphics? Please..... graphically the Gamecube is pretty excellent. Not denying PS2 does not have some great graphics, because it does but it also has a hell of a lot of dire graphics - especially on multiformat titles when you look at the games elsewhere.

pleaes tell me your keep your GC, u might aswell, when a good game comes out for it in future and u dont have 1 u will cuss.

The PS2 is worth having but the standard of performance in speed and quality is far better with the GC, but graphically they r the same.

Graphically they are not the same. Yep, some games utilize the machines better than others, but in terms of actual power the Gamecube is more powerful. Kill Switch gets slowdown when there about 10 things on screen yet on Rogue Leader 3 a whole swarm of tie fighters, star destroyers etc can be blasting around with no slow down.

GameCube doesn't have online gaming, therefore it smells like camel breath. Get PS2.

Heh, I actually had a PS2 because I was sick of Microsoft's incessant push to make eveything online on Live. Sorry all you Ps2 only people, but in terms of online gaming Microsoft's stormed the castle and is pouring boiling oil onto everyone else.

I have a network adaptor for my PS2 but the games are just so far behind Microsoft's it's laughable.

All i have to mention is your tagline, PS2's Central Station may not be as good as XBOX's Live but its not about the free little disc that comes with the package, its the games that you get. And dont dare say Rainbow Six 3 is better than SOCOM 2 cos its not, how can you have a game as you tagline which is exclusive to PS2's ONLINE GAMING and say Xbox Live kicks ass, you make me sick!
