Me I am a PS2 owner, and for Christmas or earlier i would like to get a new console, either the xbox or the GCN.

Ive done research on the Xbox, it sounds good, but can you GCN fans persuade me into getting a Nitendo Gamecube? What has it got that is better than the Xbox? Why is it worth getting? Will my gaming needs be satisifed with this console?

One thing I like about this is that Freeloader allows you to play games without chiiping the console, which is good for cheap imports.

Please Help!!

You have to buy a Cube, it has the most original and unique games on any console. Mario Sunshine, Star Fox Adventures, Super monkey ball 1 and 2, Resident Evil, Super Smash Bros Melee, the list goes on and on. The ps2 is good i have to admit but for good games to come out nearly every month you'll get your money's worth. Nintendo are the leading games developers as they focus on the games and not the add on's of a machine, you want to buy the best Game console then get the Gamecube. Hope that helps :)

I was only joking.
I was expecting someone to come out with an out burst of "dvds dont matter"

I didnt realise we were on about the Q cube.

We all wish we had a Panacube dont we? But I think the normal Gamecube looks far better than the Pana one, the Pana one is more cubier, more larger. The platinum version of the cube, and the jet colour look cool. But the Pana Cube has the extra features.

How many games do you cube owners have on your cube?? and what other Ninty product do you have/own?

Yes it can play DVD's, but you'll need to buy the Panasonic Cube, it costs alot more than the normal cube, but looks fab!
