That's up to you to decide. Is the X-Box really that special or is it just a mini PC that just uses advanced PC graphics?

I've held one and it's enough to put you off playing!

I agree, the Gamecube pad just fits perfectly round your hand, unlike the XBOX one

But at least the buttons on the Dreamcast pad were spaced out, on the XBOX pad they are squashed together

Point taken, but what good is an accesible control system if you are using the bulkiest, most pathetic controller ever to use it?

They all have poor controls, especially Red Faction, which would of been such a good game idf only they has put more effort into the control system

different consoles suit different people, xbox has a hell of a lot of wicked games coming out for it, it does have a high nubmer of fps due for release, but this is because they are targetign a weak point software wise on the ps2. Apart from Timesplitters, the controls for any ps2 fps are terrible, plus when you play Halo you will realise how bad ps2controls are for certain games. Ps2 is a pc of sorts, and if you look at the future sony has for it (including release of monitor, keyobard mouse hard drive etc) its obvious that the only console not trying to be the mystical everything is Gamecube.
