What esactly is the best consle the gamecube or the Xbox
Does anyone know?Because I dont have a clue what is better.
It might be the Gamecube with only about 20 games
or it might be the Xbox with about 30 games.
Also what console has the best graphics I'm not sure but I've heard from some of my friends that the xbox bas the better graphics and from one of my other freinds he said that the gamecube has the best graphics so Im really confused about this.
but maybe most of you that are on this website know what is the best console,out of the two.

Get a Gamecube-small, cheap and has top notch games.
By the way, I've held both controllers, the most noticable difference is the buttons are too spaced out on the X-Box controller and they're harder to reach, but it does have a better rumble than the GC controller. The GC contoller is small, with chunkier buttons, which are much easier to use.
But the descision is up to you, pay money to the richest man in the world if you want to, but otherwise go for Gamecube.

I know that the Xbox is made by microsoft but that doesnt mean that it would be like a computer does it.

Xbox has, for me, the best games overall. It is not week in any particular area. Overall its games are more mature and are aimed at adults.

Xbox has the best launch line up, ever(well in the us at least).

Xbox has a huge marketing budget which will (probably)ensure sucess.

Xbox is the most powerful, and does have the best graphics. If you don't believe me just look at Dead or Alive 3 in motion.

Xbox is more expensive, but you get more for your money. Hard drive, broadband. There is also no need for memory cards.

put it this way
xbox = £299
Gamecube = £199

xbox games = £42.99
Gamecube games are unconformed

plus xbox is just a p.c with a stylish shape.
its the same on the inside
gamecube has smaller discs so they cant be victims to piracy but then this means they can keep their prices high.
What is better is up to what we think, either that or wait
until the sales for the consoles appear in 6 months.

> you should bother getting an X-box if you've already got a PC!

Why shouldnt you get an X-Box if you have a PC? The games arent the same, the only game that will be on the PC is Halo. All the other games are either exclusive games not on any other console or games that are on other consoles. Max Payne maybe a PC game but it is also on the PS2, so this doesnt count. In fact the PS2 has probably got more PC conversions or updates than the X-Box at the moment.

X-Box is a console and a PC is a computer.

GC is also good and shouldnt be ignored either. I have a X-box on pre-order but will also get a GC this summer.

I dont think either console is better. They offer a few different games to each, so its a matter of which games you want to play.
