"So which IS better?"

Personally, as an owner of a PS2 and an Xbox, and a soon to be owner of a Gamecube, I feel i can weigh up the pros and cons of all next-gen consoles.

PS2:
PROS: Relatively cheap, plays DVDs straight off, good games.
CONS: They still expect you to pay 30 to play 4 player.

XBOX:
PROS: Better graphics than PS2, built in hard drive, "soundtrack" option, 4 controller ports.
CONS: They still expect you to pay 30 quid to play DVDs.

GAMECUBE:
PROS: It's Nintendo, it's designed exclusively for gaming, its really cheap (130 quid)
CONS: It only plays games; no CDs, no DVDs, nothing.

So.. which one should you buy?

I have no idea.

But, the PS2 is fashionable, the Xox is powerful, and the Gamecube is small, and cute.

The best thing to do is go to a computer store, and play them. Or, wait till a mate gets one, play it, and compare to your other mates.

Or, buy all three. Trust me, that's better.

But...
What do you think?

Heh, that was your lookout...

The Xbox is a great machine...
but, since i only own Halo, i mainly use it for listening to music.

But let's not turn this into an Xbox forum.

Everybody has their idea of whats best, personally I like the GameCube best because it has a lot of exlusive titles that interest me.

And a word of advice, don't do another console wars topic again please!
It will only end in virtual tears...
;0)

XBOX is for me, but let's face it, they're all good machines.
I do wish the Dreamcast could've survived because that was my favourite.
