Gamecube will have the best wrestling game of the 3 in wrestlemania X8...RAW for Xbox is absolutely pathetic. We've got an Xbox in the living room and it has just sat there since we beat Max Payne. We've been disappointed with almost every rental. Remember, Dreamcast had the better technology then PS1 as well, but without the games u will fail. Going to take more then a handful of FPS's.

Satisfied PS2 owner here, has all the "right" games for me. Still a list of games I want to try too.

XBOX - well, I thought about it for a while, but, there just weren't many games, aside Halo, that grabbed my attention. Not worth buying a console for one (perhaps two) games. From what I have seen the graphics are indeed very good, but I honestly don't think PS2, XBOX and GC are miles apart from eachother. They are all capable of churning out some nice looking games. Look at Ico or Devil May Cry on the PS2, you can hardly say they are jaggy or outdated?

NB: PS2 fits nicely in my TV cabinet drawer, very neat :)

How much does PS2 cost in the States? Since its $299 here in Canada, I guess its $149 over there. Right?

XBOX - Who wants a wussy system that is either purple (GC) or stands on its side (PS2)? ;) Halo & Project Gotham own :)

PS2

I already have a nice PC.

that statment really pisses me off, all because the xbox has a Hard drive and geforce type graphics and such, and can you tell me why thats a bad thing? because its not @$$hole, ps2 is getting a hard drive and its rumored to be at least 100bucks or more.

I enjoy my PS2, but some of the big release titles have been a bit disappointing. I'm trading a friend of mine for his Gamecube for a couple of weeks.

If I like it, i'm selling the PS2 and getting a Gamecube.
