thing is even though the xbox is expensive it has already most things necessary -it's got a hard drive (very useful), broadband capabilities, 4 controller ports which makes up for all of it...
the gamecube doesn't even give you the option to use it as a dvd player does it?? you have to get the special version which is really expensive. i'm really not too bothered that the xbox doesn't let you play dvds straight away cos i already have a dvd player and even though you have to pay 30 quid for the playkit it really isn't too bad.
AFX, you say the GameCube's controller looks tacky. Have you played a GameCube using one. After playing on the X-Box with it's really, really bad controller you start to thank Nintendo for being the best controller desingers since the NES came out in Japan in 1983. And are you really that concerned about the colour scheme in your room? Anyway, I'm suprised you can actually fit an X-Box in your room they're so big. You could fit about four GameCube's into one of them. The majority of games are not aimed at kids! Games like Luigi's Mansion are for anyone who likes to play video games. To be quite honest, does it really matter what the game looks like? As long as it's a good one with a decent challenge behind it I would definately say not. You could have the most realistic graphics in the world, but that doesn't matter if the game is no good. Like Final Fanatsy spirits within, great graphics, rubbish film. Also the GameCube is going to have the Resident Evil franchise and Eternal Darkness. It doesn't matter whether you don't like these games, but they will reassure developers that Nintendo consoles AREN'T JUST FOR KIDS.
Finally, Tequilla Sunset, I said these things to express my opinion like you do yours, which is what these forums are for. I don't really care if you leave the X-Box on the shelf or not. I just wanted to say what I thought.
