Yes, i know this a Nintendo forum, but it would be interesting to hear peoples views on the above.

I myself have both a gamecube and an Xbox.

I also have Broadband internet at home, so im already halfway there.
Now, the main problem is, which to get?
do i get one or both?

Xbox live is sounding more and more impressive as the days go on, but, remember this is Microsoft we are talking about!
Problems WILL be plentiful! LOL
They promise live chat to anyone in the world instantly, and also little or no slow down whatsoever!
Now, im not gonna sit here and list everything about it, because i dont want to go over what other people have already said.

I simply would like to know your views on gamecube broadband (or 56k) and Xbox live.
Will you be getting one or the other, or both?
and what games are you most looking forward to and why?


Post them below and let us all know.

TIA


i myself want to use Xbox live for Halo 2 and Project Gotham 2
but i also am eagerly awaiting my copy of phantasy star online to use with my broadband adaptor for US gamecube (its gathering dust at the minute), when the game finally gets shipped out!!
Delays, Delays, Delays!
apparently its a software bug.....blah blah blah!

You idiot, again you prove it, all I asked was since when was there a modem for the GC and you turn it into a tantrum fuelled battle as usual.
Loser.

Play nice children...

And for the record, there is/will be a broadband adapter for the gamecube. It's the one that looks just like the black 56k one, but in grey.

And at risk of getting back on topic ( :^) ), it sounds like you just might be able to afford both packages if you really wanted, but at the moment, the xbox one sounds better to me (gasp).

Then again, could just be because we've not heard much on nintendo's plans yet.
