"Conclusive evidence that X-Box is better than Gamecube"

X-Box has DVD Player.

Gamecube does not.

You can watch films on X-Box.

Ergo, it wins.

It may need three freight trains to move, but you can watch Dogma on it.

Argument settled, you are all getting an X-Box. Or a PS2.

Of course it's a joke.

The X-Box is a joke.

As am I.

HAHA! People took the topic seriously...

Stryke, it was a joke... right?

Sonic

Ah, but I have PS2.

I hate big X-Box cos I'm racist ;-)

I also have Mallrats. I have Dogma AND Chasing Amy as well.

And Withnail and I.

And Memento. And L.A. Confidential.

MUAHAHAHAH. I win, Happy man.

Ergo. :-)

I'm probably on my own here (so what's new?), but isn't the function of a games console to play console games? If you fart around with adding DVD players and drinks dispensers (ok, maybe not those) to a console, it simply ups the price of the product, which is really annoying for people like me, who just want a console that plays games and are perfectly happy with a VCR.

Needless to say, I won't be shelling out on an X-Box or PS2, and neither will I be purchasing a Panasonic Gamecube.

haha he said ergo :P

um yes. X-box has DVD. Stryke you forget that this is microsoft of whom you speak - the most profit mad, all-dominating, richest company known to mankind. Free DVD feature? I think not.

In order to operate the x-box as a DVD player you have to buy a remote of Microsoft. Nope, no ersatz remotes seem to be around either. That means paying a ludicrously high price to Microsoft. And I'd rather split my money between a Gamecube (£150) and a top-notch-multi-region-better-than-X-Box DVD player (£150) and then I'd have fifteen odd pounds left to buy another copy of mallrats with.

Thus I have ended up with:
-Gamecube
-Good DVD player
-Mallrats

and you have:
-X-box
-remote

and then you'll have to shell out to build an extension to your house, in which to house the thing :-)

Seriously though, it's a much better deal to buy a Gamecube and a DVD player because both will do their respective jobs better than Microsoft and without the need of two service packs...

And I have mallrats. So I win.

I have a DVD player anyway, as I imagine you have, so let's take Brodie's advice: "Why buy the cow when you get the sex for free?"

You can get a Panasonic Game Cube Q from Gamecube.co.uk for £328. You gonna have to pay £330 if you want your X-box to play DVDs...The Q looks just a little bit better as well...

Conclusive evidence that anyone who cares needs to get out more :)
