I for one can't wait to see if the Getaway can come up with the kind of gameplay and graphics that it reputes to have. Having seen the screenshots signs are very encouraging.

The thing is a friend of mine asked if there was going to be a GC version. A Gamecube disc would not be able to store 1 square mile of London let alone 20miles, so sorry mate you stick to your kiddie titles like Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon.

There is nothing wrong with apposing views on any subject and everyone is entitled to there own opinion you included. What you have to ask yourself is why are my posted topics so popular if people think I am such an idot. I posted a topic the other day (Sony make the cheapest games) that got to 279 replies for people that don't care about these topics there is a lot of response.

The extra space just means programmers can be lazy with their code, not keeping it as short as needed.

Sure though, having the extra space on the PS2 and Xbox is great, I'm not saying it isn't, and I'm sure the GC owners would love to have all that space. But it's not everything, they can do without.

You said i was a nintendo fanboy if thats true why have i got PS1+2 Xbox and GC N64 GBA.

Out of them xbox is yet to impress with the good games its got not being many enough and the PS2s graphics, shallow yes but becuase of that all the ports on GC and Xbox are rubbish, in my opnion becuase of the ps2 games are below standard, consoles will be released every year soon and little extras will be bigger than the games.

Don't forget the 8.5Gb on a single sided dvd if it has dual layer mode.

Yes, but having a two sided DVD is just as annoying as having two DVDs. You still have to take it out and turn it over, so that doesn't really count. I could say having 20 GC disks would equal 30gig making it better than a PS2 disk, using that logic.

Anyway, the only console I *don't* have is the GC, yet I'm still sticking up for it. What does that show you? You can't pick fights at a particular console just because *you* don't want it. Many people are happy with their GCs, just let them be.
