"Convince me (Gamecube or XBox?)"

I'm thinking of getting another console to go with my trusty PS2, but I'm not sure which of the current batch would suit my needs more. I absolutely love Halo to bits, and Halo 2 comes out soonish. But Ialso lke the look of them Star Wars games on the GC - especially Rebel Assault 3 when that comes out, Xwings, Millennium Falcons, Taun Tauns, etc. But then again Star Wars: Galaxies come out on XBox in September and that makes me drool. So which should it be? Xbox or Gamecube - you decide*.






* (you don't actually decide, I just said that so you'd think so had some degree of control over my life)

It's your choice, but what Snuggers suggests is probably the best.

That's quite a funny comment.

Cool, I get to be a teenage estate ho for a few days!

You can borrow both of mine while I'm away, and make your mind up then. It's like when teenage estate hos have to look after a bag of sand for a week to convince them it's not worth getting pregnant, even though they get benefits.

I daren't post my opinion in case I'm besieged by helmet-wearing angry ree-tees.

Depends.

I've got both a Cube and Xbox and would say they where the perfect 2 some. You get pretty much all of the big franchises and also a hell of a lot of originalality and variation too.

If you're more a of a shooty game player then i'd definetly go for Xbox, there's more 1st person shooters and games with guns on Xbox than you can shake a big Evil Dead style 'boomstick' at. If you can only see yourself playing the Star Wars games on Cube then you might find yourself a bit dissapointed with the rest of the line-up.

Out of the 2, myself i'd choose Cube. Mainly because I love Nintendo's style of games and while there aren't the same amount of gun games, there's enough variety and also mindless violence to keep you going.

I have both but prefer my Gamecube as I've grown up with trusty old Nintendo, but both machines have many plus points which I'm sure will lead to plenty of arguing.
The Xbox doesn't have that many top class titles out at the moment with the notable exception of Halo, Splinter Cell, JSRF, Project Gotham and Dead or Alive 3, but there are some mighty titles on the way, and most experts thought it had the best showing at E3, with Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Fable, Project Gotham 2 etc all looking great.
Gamecube has the typical Nintendo magic, with Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil remake and Zero, plus there's Mario Kart, F-Zero, Final Fantasy, Metroid Prime 2, Resident Evil 4 coming eventually.

It really is a tough choice as both machines have plenty of great games out now or coming soon.
