"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.

However....

Halo.

I've heard theres a Panasonic Dvd Gamecube but does anyone know if or when it gets to the U.K and how much? I'd expect it would be cheaper than a X-box.

Please see what's going on in Japan.
Xbox will scratch your DVD and CD disks and MS don't care.
Most of Japanese gamers(including me) are angry about this and dicided we never buy Xbox!

Please don't waste your money.

as i said in my "oh dear, microsoft!" post

"Microsoft is recalling all the Xbox's in Japan because of a defect two weeks after its debut in the country!

Some of the 250,000 consoles shipped in Japan make scratches on the perimeter of a game disk, said Microsoft Co., the Japanese unit of the world's biggest software maker.

Customers need to send the console back to Microsoft for repair; the process of replacing the disc drive will take a week to ten days to complete.

Microsoft has got 200.000 new drives ready for the Xbox. That means that they are expecting to have almost all the Xbox's returned sold in Japan.

The recall comes a week before the console's debut in Europe on March 14. Maybe it is time to think over the European release date for the XBox!. They have got a lot of repairing to do..."

Makes the PS2 look like the best value, only £35 more than a Gamecube to get the Dvd option.

Its the quality of the games that will really make the differance. The X-box should have better games than the gamecube.

Not really, if you have the cash for a X-Box, you could get a GC, a GC game, a DVD player from SR and 2 DVDs/1 GC game and still have change!

The good thing about the Gamecube is the price, but the lack of a Dvd player is a big disadvantage.
