I have all three next-gen consoles (I payed for the PS2 and GC, and we got given the xbox for free from microsoft) And I really do like to keep a non- bias opinion on them all. I would have to say, games wise, that I prefer the GC games, but I do think Halo rocks. Give it time, and the xbox will have more quality games, but at the moment, and I think I will always feel this, I prefer the GC.

That is the ideal situation, but for people who can only have one or two consoles, don't focus on the consoles themselves - focus on the games, as that's what is important. Decide what games you like best, and go for that console.

That's the best advice I can give you.

I have also got all 3 consoles. At the moment my favourite is the GC but I think it is just because I have got it. I think out of GC and Xbox, Xbox for me will be the better one when the more quality games start filtering through. Also, it has got the best graphics which I know isn't everything but it is nicer to play a good game with brill graphics. But, if your a fan of Nintendo games, I think you should go for the GC because it looks like Nintendo's best console in terms of games yet!!

lol, I think you mean 'biased'. WEll I have an Xbox and I haev played a Gamecube, my mate brought hs aorund and we played both.

Main points:

* Gamecube is an impressive piece of machinery and has great graphics and its nice and small
* However the games are directed to young people, the only gaem I really liked was the Star Wars Rogue Leader

*XBox still to me has better graphics than Gamecube, its clear by looking at it, the Gamecube controller seems qutie small after playing with an Xbox one
* Games on Xbox are more serious ones and are not as colourful as GC ones

To be honest, its all down to ur favourite! XBox in my view can do a lot more techinically and graphically, but Gamecube seems a bit more fun!

Heres a non BIURST opinion ...:::
Gamecube is the BIZ because:
-->the pad has to be the best console pad theres eva been
and Rogu Leader shows that even a first generation game can squeeze mad polygons out of the cube, which is a good thing coz it means it takes less tyme for the programmers (bless em) to get to grips with all the migikitty wotsits that live inside the gamecube...===More games ,and u dont end up with a retired pentium halfwit computer (xbox).
Coz although the Gamecube only has a 405 MHZ processor, it processes information in a completly diffrent way == equiv of a pentium III 900 ==
!!!!
If u dont believe this look at how the mighty MAC G4 processors compare to the inefficient pentiums which havea much higher clock speed but are ultimately slower!!!
So there ... The xbox however does have the added advantage of being able to double up as a brilliant door stop.
