Get the PS2 or Gamecube, i think the X Box isn't worth buying. Earlier today a friend of mine was saying how crap the Gamecube was and how good the X Box was. He said that because you can download music onto it and play DVD's it was head and shoulders above the rest. I replied by saying that if he wanted a MP3 player he might as well buy a PC, which is basically what it is, only cheaper. The reason they are called cgames consoles is because they play games, not play music.
Get the gamecube bee hatcher, you won't ever regret it...

Yup, but the X-Box still has that little bit extra in console power. The N64 and PS1 had the power to make great graphics and games, the 3 new consoles are still better at the graphics and sound part though.

I owned a PS2, I play PC games round my friends pretty often and I owned a GC.
I just ended up deciding that I was going to stick with just the X-Box for now because I only need that one console to get the games I want.

Why because its not the GC that has the power ? Of course its the games overall, but a great amount of console power can help add to making great games the best. The footage of Halo 2 you can see isn't a little movie within the game, its actual footage of the in game graphics.

I have seen many X-Box graphics and games, just not pre-releases, which I don't really think should count. On comparison, I think you'd have to be quite fussy and particular to think the X-Box graphics are much better than the PS2's. It's like people who can really spot a difference between VHS and DVD, Surround Sound and Normal Sound, Pepsi Max and Pepsi.
It's just fussiness! The graphics are so similiar (fact) that it should never be a deciding factor for the three consoles.

Depends what games you're playing. Surround sound would probably be practically useless in something like Mario Sunshine. On a game such as Halo however, it can greatly change the quality with you hearing things like the debris raining down when a grenade goes off and where explosions are coming from.
> No. Have you seen the graphics on the likes of GT3?
Yes. So overall this puts me in a better position than you to see the difference doesn't it.

Stating fact - it does help when you've seen a few games to compare doesn't it. PS2 could never pull off the visuals in games such as Steel Battalion, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Halo 2 and DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball for example. Also you'd have to be blind not to see the difference in graphics between DOA2 on PS2 and DOA3 on X-Box. Bear in mind that DOA3 didn't even use a quarter of the X-Box's graphical power - and it shows when you see Halo 2.

All the games I have already mentioned better GT3 on the PS2. Project Gothem Racing let itself down a little an could have looked better, but Project Gothem Racing 2 is look a lot better and Lamborghini has better graphics than GT3 too. It might be only a minimal part of a game, but why enjoy a playable game in an ugly world when the world can look just as amazing as it plays ?

Pah.. that's debatable. It's basically just a GT3 wannabe anyway. Gameplay over graphics, friends, gameplay over graphics.
