Whats the best console?
SirPoonga:
Review the systems and games at places like www.ign.com and www.gamespot.com.
I have a gamecube and my roommate has a PS2. The only thing I like the PS2 for is GTA Vice City, State of Emergency (for along time it was PS2 only), and Gran Tourismo.
I got the cube for games like Metroid, Zelda, Super Smash Bros, typical Nintendo type games.
I'd like an Xbox for Xbox Live, the new Conker that is coming out, Halo, features the system has.
Ghoward:
Well I ended up going with the X-Box, I wanted it so me and my wife can play football against each other.
I have to say its really good...........is it me or are the graphics better on consoles than on the PC?
Just waiting till Friday now for the 65

Xbox wins in the raw horsepower, memory, and graphics card categorys. As far as the number and quality of games thats up to you to decide. Many or most of the biggest games are available on all 3 platforms. I have 2 xbox's and I would challenge anyone to show me a single game that is on a ps2 or gamecube that is better on those than the xbox version. I would also like to see any game on a ps2 or gamecube that had better graphics than the games written to take advantage of the xbox hardware, like DOA3 or project gotham racing.
Excuse me a secound while I put my flame suit on(remember to read my sig)....
It comes down to if you want to play mario or have a wide selection of kid games then you probably want the gamecube. If you want the most titles to choose from you probably want the ps/2, if you want the flashiest graphics with the newest games and the biggest online game presence then you want the xbox. Another huge advantage to the xbox is the modibility factor. If you decide you want to play mame on it or other emulators its not hard to do.
Edit: Ooops looks like he already made his choice, though what I posted here is still good stuff so I'll leave it.

Play "Need for Speed: Hot Persuit" on the PS2 and then try the Xbox version...you will see the xbox version sucks arse.... The graphcs may be higher resolution, but I think they look worse, the gameplay is actually different between the two versions with some special features not even available on the xbox. :P

I was never a fan of the Need for Speed series. I'll have to check it out. Thats odd that the gameplay would be different.
