i have all three of the systems, altough i like them all, i do always make fun of the ps2.
Dunno why. Nintendo will always be in my heart, you know: Zelda, mario donkey kong. Xbox doesn't have that. but xbox has Halo. And the ps2 has well, yeah, it eh.... it has the GTA games. it's the only true reason why i have the ps2. but of course, those games just had to come to the xbox as well.

My Xbox is for Halo.
My Gamecube is for Zelda.
My PS2 is for a number of RPGs.

Hey, looks like there's only one console I've got where I play more than one game on it on average...

I love them all, except for the reliability of the PS2, I've repaired one about 6 times, and just repaced another one.

I have a launch PS2. And it still plays games excellently. It's all about proper care.

Don't give me that care line Shishka -- You should know me better than that.

It was cared for -- and mine was launch as well, the problem is, I was one of the unlucky ones that got the .23 chipset, which added heat and other issues. My second one was a lender unit -- and we also played GT3 system link on, and that one canned.

I take better care of my items than 90% of the people who play videogames.

i don't like them because they do not have as good games and graphics and a bunch of other technical stuff. to prove a point, I have about five awesome games, but they are only for Xbox.

Yes, Sony paid to keep GTA exclusive, but Microsoft has done it too. Just look at Splinter Cell. Who knows how much they paid UbiSoft to have that release on Xbox first? I'm sure Microsoft has done these deals with a number of developers, such as Lionhead (Fable}, BioWare/LucasArts (KoTOR), and, maybe even the Team Ninja games like DOA and Ninja Gaiden. You shouldn't bash Sony when Microsoft does it too. They're competing companies trying to stay in the business.

I personally think PS2/GameCube are not bad systems at all. Think about it. We all have and love our XBOX, but my little cousin (9 yrs old) has and loves her GameCube, it has more cartoon games for her likeing. To be real, Gamecube sucks period!!!!!!! PS2 is another totally different story.....I think the one's who hate it, are the one's who don't have one. PS2 is the 2nd best system in the world. I personally have one and enjoy it. So please haters, hate silently.


P.S. Don't catch me online, I'm deadly, peace!!

At the moment I play XBOX the most...but I have PS2 for occasions when games are released on that one. Half-Life only came out on PC and PS2 and without that I wouldn't have played it...I don't have a PC so there was no option. Also my neice and nephew have just got a GameCube and I've played Metroid...it's all right. No Halo, but it's not bad. Games are games and if you love em you play em wherever they are.

i you heard of this:

Sean Burke, a dumb gamer in my opinion, has filled a class lawsuit against Microsoft on behalf of anyone who owns an Xbox, citing that his stop reading any all dics after less than a year of use.

just want to share that with you

PS Nintendo if you want me to buy your system stop making the controller so disform

I think the one's who hate it, are the one's who don't have one.


Please, I used to want a PS2. But, after playing on one I saw that it was nothing special. That plus it doesn't have any games that I care for that I couldn't get on Xbox.

The controlers are to small for both ps2 and GC. I think that GC has a really screwy controler layout. I dont like the GC disks. Finally GC doesnt have enough selection. I dont like PS2 because It doesnt have graphics as good as Xbox. I have both ps2 and xbox so i am not being close minded.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

I love the GameCube, despite it's flaws. If they were fixed (controller, no hard drive or DVD's, lack of online), then it would be equal to X-Box even including Halo 2.

You could stand to be a little bit more open minded Gladiator. I personally like all three systems. Although I bought a Platinum GCN (why is it called a GCN I mean it's out of order, the N64 abbreviation was in the right order so was NES and GBA, so what's up with the GCN) right when it came out and only just got a Halo Xbox this summer. I personally wouldn't buy a PS2 but I've played them, my neighbors have one and I like some of the games. Although my Xbox is great, I only really play Halo and Halo 2 on it. I play many more games on my GCN like Star Fox Adventures (I like the Star Fox series) and Bond games and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Something I've noticed is that everyone I know who is a sreious gamer who plays for the love of playing and not to just be better than everybody else, likes more than one system. Mainly Xbox and GCN though.

And I have to agree with Shishka, good care of a system goes a long way. You could look at my systems and be hard pressed to find even a scratch on them. That goes for all of them, including my N64 and old Sega Genesis.

What's wrong with the controller? And they do make a special Game Cube that is really weird and cool looking that is combined with a DVD player, I think a Panasonic one.

The reason I heard it's called GCN is because in Japan there is a phone company called NGC. I guess Nintendo didn't want to deal with any mix-ups.
