I like this "will be" and "likely to be". In essence, it means you have no idea and are just BS-ing.

I played the demo of the PS2 version, and the loading time was negligible.

All discs are equally prone to scratching, depeding on how careful you are. I still have the original TS game from launch for my PS2, and the disc is still in immaulate condition. More BS.

Well, that's opinion. Personally I deliberately avoided the GC version because of the very small right stick - I find it difficult to use accurately in frantic situations, and my thumb keeps slipping off. But as I said, that's personal preference - and I do have large hands, so people with smaller hands may well prefer it.


> Cube has better graphics and is easier for 4 player.

The PS2 and Xbox versions are visually identical - so it's unlikely that the GC version will be any different visually.

And in case you think I'm showing a bias towards the PS2 version, you're wrong - because I actually bought the Xbox version!

Wavebird wireless controller for GameCube is a good idea. I also thought there was a third party clone due out for PS2?

Notice how every topic DaveRJR enters he attempts to make it into a console war?

The topics about which version of Timesplitters to get, nowhere does it say which consoles best you silly little fanboy you.

*sigh* Nintendo don't have a "kiddy" image as such they just appeal to ALL groups of gamers kids and adults, they are not attempting to fit into any specific group and to class them and their franchises as "kiddy" is pretty shallow.
