"Bah, looks like I backed the wrong console."

Today I decided I was going to buy a GameCube, simply for Mario Kart 2/Mario Golf/the new Rogue Squadron game (you can keep the crappy Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker) when they come out. I'm also considering getting an X-Box for Halo 2.

I spent a fair bit o' cash on my PS2, and while SmackDown SYM and Tony Hawk's 4 are great, it's nothing more than an overpriced DVD player for me. And not a very good one at that. I only own two games, those mentioned and the un-godly pile of stinking horse manure that is Metal Gear Solid 2. I don't want any more games for it, compared to the increasing list I want for the Cube and Box. This sucks. Gotta spend a few hundred on consoles just because I went for the PS2 (against my own judgement) all those months ago.

Wooo

*snores*

i'm not alone because the Tv's on, yeah.

and the 15 extra levels

nope Burnout 2 on the xbox has the original burnout score, exclusive car skins and an xbox live scoring system

I like PS2 because it has Ico, which is mesmerising, Pro Evolution Soccer, which rules, and besides that, it's the only console I own that can play Bishi Bashi Special.

Only 15 more than the PS2 version. Otherwise, it's the same as the GC version, je crois.

Could you define what you mean by hardcore gamer?
You have used it in a few posts recently backing up the same kind of idea and I just wanted to know what you define 'hardcore gamer' as?

So far the replies fit my theory that Xbox and gamecube are the hardcore gamers choice. I have to admit when the n64 dried up, I bought a ps1, worst thing ever. smackdown and driver games were very poor. Die hard was good but Acclaim own probe now so all consoles get the good probe ( renamed to 'acclaim salt lake' i think) games.

Desert storm xbox? i have it, its very good (also the only SR review i've done so far)

xbox burnout is the best as it full of exclusive extras + 15 more crash levels
