It would be better on the PS2 I think.

I would definitely recommend KOTOR, I even got round to reviewing it yesterday.

Ah fair enough, though amped is a very different type of snowboarder. I prefer it to the SSX series.

The GameCube's very small, and switching SCART leads around is worth it if you get to play brilliant games like that. Plus, there are loads of other great games you could get when there aren't any XBox or PS2 games you wanted.

You can even buy a box that lets you plug 6 or so scart sockets into the box and then a lead from that into the telly. The one with the power on is the one that gets shown.

I would recommend a GC, I really would BUT, you do have an Xbox and a PS2 and I always figure it is better to have fewer consoles and a better set up (i.e. more controllers and games etc) than lots of consoles and a poorer set up.

If you want to have 2 consoles only, the XBox and GameCube are a perfect combination.
