I'm fed up of saying this, so I'm posting this one the forums, and I'm going to pop it everytime someone thinks different to the above.

Because it's getting to me. :0D

I might even explain WHY the Gamecube is as fast as the X-Box later... ;0)

BTW: The X-Box looks rather disapointing at the moment.

Ah, but you trusted Nintendo with the N64, so don't be so sure yet.

BUT, I believe Nintendo have learnt from their mistakes, and the GameCube should be excellent.

Nintendo just have to make sure they don't muck up the start like the PS2 did (but the PS2 is going well now, fortunately).

Power?? They may be the same, but does it matter THAT much?
I mean, the PSX had half the power of the N64, yet there wasn't much difference between the two, and the PSX had a lot more games, and was more popular than the N64.

I wouldn't worry about whether the GameCube has a bit more memory, or whether the X-Box has more V-RAM (or anything else technical like that), I'd just be worrying about whether the console I'm buying has some good games on offer, and whether it is as good as people said it would be.

That's enough ranting from me, and I don't expect any of you have been listening to me, as I'm the annoying PS2 fan, right?!

Thanks for reading, Ant.

IF GC and Xbox ARE that close in terms of power, it all depends on the games from here.

As long as Nintendo are quick to get broadband internet play into action on the release, then I'm sure that the GC will be the most worthwhile.

I still think that the Xbox is going to be more popular.

It's going to be the true next generation playstation!

At the moment, it means a man being sick into a small bowl.

At all other times, it represents a big smile.

:D

Like so.

I have an important question regarding your last post Grix.

Could you explain to me exactly what :0D is?

It's been bugging me for quite a while now. Obviously it's some unorthodox smiley, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. Unless it has either an unfeasably large nose, or maybe a slit throat?
