1) 6 Games
> at launch... Only one that apeals to me, Halo.
More than 6. I think theres about 20 or more. Also they have another 4 or 5 on release the following week. Ok you only like Halo, but thats your view.
To decide whether to buy a console you have to look at the games that you want to play. If X-Box has all the games you want to play, then get that. If the GC or PS2 has the games you want to play, get that.

Direct marketing, the best approach.
Heh heh, its like asking the owner of a games store..
"Should I buy this game? It looks good"
"Yeah, its excellent, buy it now"
:o)
In my view, no.
Reasons..
1) 6 Games at launch... Only one that apeals to me, Halo.
2) It huge, like its price..
3) Most games will be converted pc games, Mircosoft make games for the pc, so why not make them for X-Box? (Me thinks that Combat Flight Simulator will be coming out on X-Box..)
4) GameCube is £150, and 20 games at launch. And with loads of 3rd party support, it looks like a Nintendo year.
But, if the games shout "YEAH!" at you, and you have the money, then buy it.
On account of my hate for all things Microsoft.
Oh, and it's crap too.
> In more...
1. It's well expensive.
2. I've got 3 ears!
3. Microsoft don't
> allow funny games!
4. No-one likes Bill Gates!
5. My sister smells.
6.
> Gamecube will have 20+ games on launch day!
7. Rubber tastes too nice.
8.
> Gamecube is cheap.
9. Cube magazine is superb!
10. Ninty rule the Earth!
*bangs head against the wall*
I'am askin is it really worth it?
its worth it if you have money to burn
In fact, if you have a PS2 and can afford an X-box, then go for it. With the long wait for the Gamecube and the small price, you might be able to get one of those too when it comes out.
Or, get a friend to get one console and you get the other. That way you get the best of both worlds. So speaks the Army of the Free Gamer.
