Why oh why would I buy a GameCube over a PS2 or X-Box.
I have a Dreamcast but want to broaden my horizons but why buy a GameCube?
Please, someone, anyone explain to me why. I mean no DVD ability, less power, rubbish game line-up. I don't understand.
Will it go on-line, will it be expensive, will the on-line games line-up be any better than the PS2/X-Box.
Please, please, please, someone explain to me, I just don't understand. I mean it isn't any better than the Dreamcast which (sadly) is now resting in the console graveyard.
Someone, anyone, It's driving me mad.
The GameCube.
Why?

Good choice BigBob. I take it we'll be seeing more of you in the Ninty forum once you get your GameCube?
Firstly,
Parr: read the whole thread and not just the snippets. I LIKE THE GAMECUBE, I AM JUST ABOUT PURCHASE ONE.
Secondly,
Maverick 42: Thank you for the in depth information that you have provided. I can now smile broadly when I show the games list to my X-Box owning friends.
I do beleive that the GC will come out on top. The GC seeems to have the correct balance between looks and gameplay which ultimately is what should drive us to purchase games.
All consoles have their merits it's just that some have more than others.
Keep gaming, it keeps you sane.

I rarely reply to console wars topics.
But not only do you have very poor grammar, but you don't seem to realise that the PS2 has had at least a year to sell before the 'Cube or X-box were even released.
Now bow your head in shame.

Well the recent Playstation 2 games this week have left a lot to be desired - Tekken 4 being the none event of the year after a two plus year wait, and Conflict Desert Storm suffering from slowdown and a questionable difficulty level..... Still very good console though (I've got one next to my Gamecube :) ) but I can't help feeling that Tekken 4 and Conflict could both have done with a bit more time taken on them.
Oh, having played Turok on PS2 the game needs about another year of development, at the moment it's kinda like Turok 3 all over again......still if you like Turok games then I guess it's okay, but Timespitters 2 would be a much better buy when it's out on the 11th.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of people are slating the PS2's games recently with no reason.
there is nothing wrong with the PS2, anyone who says otherwise is a fanboy
"rubbish game line up"
Ho hum.
Ho hum.
Oi Big Bob just go away and play bum you PS2 or XBOX and leave us clever mature people alone

Uses what more efficently? It's 'power'? Name me one game that is graphically better than Resident Evil.

I glad to see you feel that way, as that comment was originally directed at the GameCube.

It'll be much cheaper than the PS2 and X-Box, at any rate.

Maybe the two year head start had something to do with it?

So they perfect GameCube versions, but PS2 versions are still better? I fail to see any logic in your theory.
