For christmas my mum is giving me £200 and I was thinking of buying a silver PS2.

I have GTA3 and Vice, and i'll be sure to get Manhunt. However, I'm getting the double disc box set when it comes out on xbox. Early January.

I disagree, Nintendo make the majority of great games for the Gamecube, and they're not seen on other consoles. TS2, and Jedi Outcast is multi - platform, and are in the top 20 games on Gamecube, in my opinion. Although, it has to be said, Jedi Outcast is better on xbox, than GC.

Metroid Prime, TS2, Jedi Outcast /Jedi Academy, Rainbow six 3?

"rely" is the wrong word. There are plenty of games on the cube that are realistic: Metroid Prime, Resident Evil, Waverace - Bluestorm. However, bright colours are often used in Nintendo games, this is probably because of the games that they are making.
Mario for example, would look terrible if it was based on realistic graphics, as would Zelda. On the other side of the coin, GT would look poor if it was cel shaded.

this is where the majority of the babyish claims come from. again, i would choose sharp over round, but thats personal. thats my view on what graphics are. sharp images on a computer replicating a near to real life image.

Just realised neither of you are going to back down and we can all get on with things. People think different things, people are stubborn, and we have a perfect example here.
Just for fun, here's what I think:
When I got my PS2, it felt natural.
When I bought my GC I felt excited.
And I'd much rather be excited - same goes with the games, for the most part.
My love for the PS2 is going down, for GC going up.
So there we go.

Buy one if there are games on it that appeal to you and aren't available on any of the other consoles.
All down to personal opinion and the games you like but I am more that happy with it and the games that are out or will be out in the not too distant future.

SUMMARY:PS2 is better than GaMECUBE, now shut up, or i'll eat you!!!!
Summary: I have them all and I think that the Xbox is best.
The one thing I do know Scottish Bloke is that you already have an Xbox in which case I would spend the money and get a few games for it, as very rarely does someone (especially a kid) have all the games that they want. It is better to have a really decent set up on a single console than poor setup for multiple consoles.

A BETTER SUMMARY:PS2 is a little bit better than the Gamecube because it has built in dvd and online gaming and because it looks better.The Xbox is the same as the PS2 because the Xbox has great graphics but the Ps2 has better exclusive games than the xbox.
Oh yeah and im not scared, i am prapared to argue all night (accept when im asleep)!

I prefer Pro Evo to Fifa. Also, I prefer the controls on the PS2 when it comes to Tony Hawk's games.

Fair play. I judge each case on it's merits. See above.
