Xbox : THE size of a huge VCR - the first thing that puts u off it. Only one good game at launch - HALO ( also coming on pc soon). YOu have to pay an extra £27 just for the dvd controller. The control pad is bigger than Dc's and is uncomfortable, with those four crap "jewel buttons"
and of course..the price-£299...wtf! gamecube is only £165, and with PS2 at £199, that makes best choice, with greats games such as MGS2, and GTA3
face it..xbox is only gonna be boughy by ppl with too much cash to burn, thinking that higher specs win..that is not the case!
ps2 has a great range of platinum titles already, and GC will be bought by lots of children. Microsoft also have no experience at all in making consoles.
Previously the N64 had higher specs than Playstation, but playstaion won in the end. With loads of PSone owners, they will upgrade to Xbox.

Oh dear! 2 MORON NEWBIES in the same post, the PS2 was priced at £499 how do I know, because I bought one! There was a shortage at the time and everyone was buying them and then selling them on, I did not do this I got one from my local store for £500, you are a total moron for telling me otherwise, I have PS2 with 8 GAMES and you are just trying to convince yourself that YOO have bought the right console.
In Japan they don't like the console becasue they didn't make the thing! They are jelous that an American has beaten them in the battle for the best console after all these years of trying to conquer the gaming market.
You are a total muppet that should not come on here arguing before they ahve got their facts straight, otherwise you will lose peoples friendships!

So then Zero, I see you have decided on PS2 rather than GameCube. After all my advice!
Anyway, you seem to have changed 'sides' pretty quick. You weren't sure a few days ago. Now it seems your certain PS2 rules and GC will be for kids. Hmmmm...

I don't think it is because they are jealous. I think it is maybe because Microsoft are new to the console business whereas Nintendo have been in it for years and Sony have established themselves with the success of PS1.
And I'm certain PS2 retailed for 299 pounds on release. If you payed 500 you were ripped off.

I was ripped off, 2 weeks later a shipment of PS2's cames into britain and they were priced at £300, it was due to the shortage that my local EB booste the price up.

WHY?!?!
This is directed at MetalGear2Queen, oh sorry king!!
1. I am reeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy offended by you calling me a moron newbie, maybe you are threatened that somehow others can be better than you!
2. About EVERYONE buying and selling their playstation2`s at the time of release. NOT ME, therefore this does not mean EVERYONE, therefore YOU need to get your facts straight.
3. I`m glad to see you wasted £200 on nothing, only an idiot like you deserves that.
4. Friendships???, only losers actually make friends here!!!
5. About calling me a muppet, do you actually think that offends me?
6. How on earth are people supposed to join these discussions without going through the newbie stage???, you must be thick to understand that because at one point you were one.
7. I dont like you an I dont think anyone else here does either
