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

XBOX is worth it just for Live, and it's got some awesome Live! games nowadays...

And PS2? Pffft. It may sell well, but there are few games on it (minus Pro Evo) that interest me. Glad I sold it - £99 unboxed.

1) That's backing away from a sinking ship. Get back on and drown!
2) It's also total rubbish. Both the same in a different way? WTF has that got to do with anything - including Sense?!!!
3) It's rubbish.

Get a Game Cube or PS2. NOT X-BOX. Anything but X-Box.
It really all depends on what you are into. Gamecube offers games such a Sonic and Mario.
PS2 offers a better range of racing and fighting games. Gran Turismo for instance. A brilliant game.
If you buy the gamecube you could by more games as the GC is only £80.
CGJ's verdict: The PS2 is better but GameCube has a better range of games.
PS2.

im sure if we went to the general chat forum that everyone will agree that GC and PS2 are both the same in different way.
And as for the Xbox, i think it is probably the worst, game-wise anyway.

You don't "grow out of a game" if it's fun, then it's fun if it's crap it's crap. It is very unlikely that your opinion of a game will change on the basis of your age.

Do you mean Nintendo - GC aren't a company. Games aren't supposed to be realistic, it depens on the game. You couldn't play a game like GTA if it was realistic.

Nintendo have been around over 100 years, i doubt they're confused.
