I know you guys have been slagging off each of the consoles.
But you don't really know what console will be the next step up.
All the bias comments and name calling has been really annoying.
But come on i really think the GameCube is the console to watch ourt out for, and maybe the X-Box. I'm being bias or anything but i can't see Sony doing anything spectacular. Although it's got all the stuff a person would like to have in a machine, it has nothing much the GC and X-Box has. GC is the only games only made console so it will be the games console to own. X-Box is destined to be great because of their huge sums of money they can spend to make it a super console. All the consoles have internet access and i think taht's right because internet gaming is the future! This may not be everyone's opinion but this is what i say about it.

FM you were right on the PS2 is a upgrade on the PS2 but the N64 NGC is diferent. One new name, two different insides e.g. orignal opitcal disk not just DVD. But The PS2 does have it's good points........

As you can see i was VERY dissapointed in it. I really was looking forward to Time Spliters, then when i played it, it wasn't that good, so i wont be getting it for the NGC.

Warning! Sony Fan Rant Follows:

If the PS2 is just the old PS done up, then that's just the same as me saying the GameCube is just the N64 'done up', and therefore it will not light up the industry with ground breaking ideas.

If the transfer pak on the 64 could have done a lot more than it did, what makes you think that the GBA link up with the GC is going to do any better?

Rant Ends.

FM clicks back to normal serene state....

Yep, wheras the Gamecube is pro-socialising. After all, it even has a handle so you can carry it around to your mate's house more easily. And cars will be able to see you in the dark.

Most Sony gamers are quite happy playing with just the one pad.

Nintendo gamers like to have their mates round to play because they need more moral support when they question why they actually bought the N64 in the first place.

At least it has four pad ports, unlike a certain rival product.

If it had 3, they wouldn't have had room for the handle.
