I'm stuck in the past man, my latest thing is an N64 but I play my Super Nintendo and Mega Drive way more. Why? Because the games are much better.
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.

i have a ps2. not only does it boast better games and a better controller than the other 2, i can also play all my old ps1 games on it. xbox is ok but it doesn't have enough good games on to make it worth buying. and i HATE the gamecube controller so that's a definite no-no.
I've owned all 3 major consoles that are out today, and I have to say the X-box seems the best, Note I said "Seems" not "IS" so no starting console wars PLEASE..
And to tell you the truth, although the gamecube has a good few top games, thats it, the rest on the shelf is garbage and is not to be looked at, and to be quite frank, its going the same way the N64 and Dreamcast did, just slightly slower..
As for the ps2, everything seems to be quantity not quality, most games on that console you can get on the others so there really isn't anything special about it.
And as for online capabilities, X-box online comes out on top.. so meh
I've got my gamecube, why? Cause it's cheap, there are some fun games for it, Metroid Prime 2 is out this year, and so is a Smash Brothers sequel. That's enough reason for me.
Kenly Browne, Sonic Heroes is already out... but it's crap compared to the 2 Sonic Adventures. I wouldn't reccomend wasting your money on it... at least not until it's on the clearance rack.
I don't get the newest game conseles any more because, lets say you get Playstation. They come out with Playstation 2, which is just like the first, only they have better games and a DVD player. And now, they are coming out with Playstation 3. You see? They just keep making new ones, so you keep buying and buying until you've wasted all of your money and become a hobo. Dirty marketing of doom...
Fine Garbage since 2003.
CURRENT PROJECT:
-Paying off a massive amount of debt in college loans.
-Working in television.
Fanboys annoy me. The only reason people are ever truly passionate about stuff like this is because they don't have the system the other guy does. Let's face it, there are good games on every console, and compared to 10 years ago, they are all amazing in terms of technical specs.
The X-box really is an awesome console, people complain about the size weight etc.. well it doesn't matter, I mean its not as if you carry it everywhere is it?
It has just as many games as the ps2, but with better gfx etc..
And the control pad is not a horrid huge thing, its actually rather comfortable and overall quite powerfull (Vibrating etc..)
The dvd player is very cool, you can play copied dvd's on it too (although the downside is having to buy the remote etc.. which is cheap anyway)
And those who do complain of the weight should grow up, you can't expect to have all that power yet have it weigh as much as a calculator can you?
"overall quite powerfull (Vibrating etc..)"
Now we know why Jon loves his X-Box.
I won't buy that steaming piece of crap they call the Playstation 2 until they make the damned things last for more than a year. After looking at all my friends PS2's I figure they have about a 1 to 4 ratio of working to non working ps2's.
Although I had a friend who had his Gamecube literally burst into flames.

i like how the xbox comes equipped to play DVDs... but you have to pay £20 for a DVD remote. and how it comes with a broadband modem... but you have to pay for the xbox live starter pack. at least with the ps2 you get it ALL when you buy it. and online play is free.
