I have the PS2 an GC but don't have an Xbox. I feel that most games are ported to different consoles and not many games are out. Prove me wrong enough to persuade my Dad to get it for my birthday.

That must be one STRONG table...

Or did it collapse ;)

And the controller thing? It happens on the GC.

And no built in modem.

Well I have GC, PS2 and X-Box, personnally I prefer the X-Box. I just think it's the better console out of the bunch to be blunt, although my GameCube is starting to look better with every passing month.

they all have unique games (hurry up mario kart!) but i personally find the ps2 controller just too annoying to use, get me a converter that allows x box/ cube controllers on ps2 and i'll get a ps2, if only for GTA

It's a self contained mutlimedia system with its own operating system, proprietary hardware and peripherals.

It's a Mac.

Thank you PvP.

Exactly. They're going to all be available at some point for the PC, and almost everyone has a PC. So that's a good reason NOT to fork out for an Xbox.

Yes, this is true, and I have to agree, but firstly, this is because Microsoft need to do something drastic to get some support and some backup in the console market. Nintendo know that a fault could cost them a lot, so they're simply waiting for the Xbox to test on whether consumers actually want to play online or not.

And anyway, the GameCube is online, just not with as many titles or users as Xbox. Sony have yet to start their online adventure, which surprises me. Maybe Nintendo aren't the only ones having doubts...
