Ok so we all remember that glorious day,the 14th of march when X-box hit the shelves now a new era is upon us this is the age of the super consoles;
X-box
Gamecube
So this is it the question that has been asked so many times which is better,do you go for the size and sheer power of x-box or do you go for the petite size and portability of gamecube?


The Box

xbox hit the shelves on the 14th of march in the uk and was unlike some people maythink a great success sales more than matching PS2's previous success and with the average xbox owner buying 2-3 games with the console its self.As we all know xbox is streaks ahead of the field in polygon performance and graphical exelence and up untill now this would have been enough and perhaps it will be but is the cubes size going to give it the edge over the box...?

The Cube

The Cube has only just hit the stores (on friday) so we are yet to se wether it has beaten xbox's previous sales records although it has not got the power of xbox there is an optional screen available for just under £100
and a 2 hour battery on sale for just under £50 so is this to be the new portable king,the new house-hold name or perhaps nintendos last failed attempt at making a console that can hold its own against industry giants like sony.

The Verdict

Well this i cant fill in because that is the whole reason i posted this for your opinions and so you can see mine and others views.

You shut it protoss. I sold my PS2 and I have been playing a GameCube since last December and it is a pathetic waste of such a small space, you can get out of this forum for ever if you are calling the X-BOX a PC, Halo on PC will be nowhere near as good as the X-BOX version, Bungie have even said that ' with the X-BOX they can do things that can only be dreamed of on pc and other consoles'. Face it, the X-BOX is number 1, look at the release callendar and come back and tell me which is the best, LOL! PS2 has slipped away and is generations apart and the GG is a kids console, face it, the games are completed in a mere day and are not aimed at older gamers. At 15 I want something new and mature to play on, the PS2 gave me a bit of that but was slowing up due to hard-ware not being powerful enough to handle games like Max Payne. The X-BOX has all the hard-ware to make it a success and all the games to kill off the other 2 consoles, I want to jump down this line and scream in your face the obvious that you are missing, face it, the X-BOX is the best and all the evidence is around you, GO HOME YOU JABRONI!

Heh, shut it garbe.

X-bos may have Halo and Max Payne but I can play those both on my PC (Halo comes out in August) you won't see Rogue Leader on PC.

PS2 has had fantastic sales and a wide varitey of games, and GameCube has some of the most innovative games around.

If you want to start raving about your X-box and how Nintendo is for ''da little kids'' then you can get out of these forums forever or at least post you trash in the Microsoft forum (not that I have anything against the Microsoft forum).

Cry with laughter! Laughing at what a rubbish game it is, compared to Max Payne and Halo boys and girls I think they are both pretty tame! LOL, did mommy teach you the first 3 letters of the alphabet yet or is daddy pointing out the number of cars going up a road. I have been playing a GameCube at my mates house since early December and I completed Luigis Mansion in under 4 hours, LOL! Don't even try to compare it to the X-BOX becuase it loses every time!
