Pc, definitely.

And boz you're wrong, only GameCube is exclusively for playing games. The other contenders (Ps2 and X-box) are multimedia systems.

They only play DVD films and music, so what? i'd be able to buy a seperate dvd player and a GC and it would be the same price/cheaper than the PS2 laugh price and the XBox launch price.

also it's not exclusive, soon it will have it's modem and i'll be able to surf the net, if I ever get bored of looking t the very pretty designed box, don't remeber the PS2 or XBox looking that stylish.
i'm much happier with the GC, proving that size doesn't matter...but! it's still a lot more powerful than the PS2! ooh almost David and Goliath, although me thinks the PS2 will/is more popular.

sorry, i'd go for a PC, wouldn't be the same twisted boring kid without one, plays game, makes music, homework, watch films, chat here, plays games and loads of other useless things, consoles are very limited, although I love playing my N64 it costs loads for new games, so no new challenge.

well im afraid it has to be a console for me. pc games generally fail my expectations of a game and SOME of them are seriously tediously slow

That's cos you are crap at them!!! If you actually TRIED to play a PC game properly (e.g. serious sam 2) you would see that they are actually decent games. You are too used to that crappy Ps2 controller of yours.

For good fun with multiplayer and casual gaming, consoles are good. Switch em on, and you're away with up to 4 players.

PC games are great for the genres which it is good for. Shooters, Strategy and Role-Playing are what PC is for. Because it has keyboard and mouse. Civilization could never be carried out well on a console.

PC is also great for immersive play. Hardcore gamers are unanimous in that console and PC are great for gaming, for their different reasons.

serious sam 2 a good game. hmmmmmmmmm.....let me see so you think that jagged edges unintelligent mindleess gameplay which isnt even to challenging for a five year old makes a good pc game?

think again boblin that was a bad example to use. and yes there are several god pc games hence i said the word SOME pc games are slow.

Serious Sam games are good, they go back to the good old days of Doom with just non stop mindless killing.
