The three consoles all the people are babbling on about is PS2,Gamecube,Xbox. It's obviously going to be the gamecube who going to come out at the bottom.It dosen't do anything worth while but just play rubbish games,take luigi's mansion all you have to do is go around with a torch searching for ghosts.Don't get me started on them Showoff's Microsofts xbox ,sure it's ok but i wouldn't buy one.But if i got it as a present i would accept it.BUT playstation 2 is great(i have this console)you can play teriffic games with stunning graphics and also play dvd's and lots of compatible accesories. YOU where my vote is going.See ya!

No, I won't tell you my real name and no, I won't tell you my school or where exactly I live.
But, do you live anywhere near Bristol, as I know 2 Chris H's both from that area, like me??

P.s.
I forgot to mention that my reason for quoting your entire message was not in any way a blatant attempt to up my word count. ;)

I was just trying to win this comp, i was just reading about it in one of them nintendo mags and just summed up an opinion and i shouldn't have gone and critisised the game before playing it for myself and i might just like it. Before i was planning to get a gamecoube but i thought i couldn't wait to get another console and bought a ps2.

Look, why does everone have to rave on about consoles. PC's have the capabilities of all consoles and the room for expansion. Plus it can do so much more than the consoles, it isn't just a plaything.
