Wow. Most people say Cube now. I think there was a poll a few months back and no one said they wanted a Cube.
 
i bought the cube first....there are a few good titles, but thats the problem, only a few....picked up a ps2 couple months ago and couldnt be happier...so I would say ps2, then GC, then xbox....either that or find an old super NES...Killer Instinct pwns joooooooo

What?!?
ps2 just so I could play Socom and see why my bro in law loves it so much. Then the xbox for the gfx. And then gc for cool games like zelda and pikmin. lol
 
damn guys...thanks so much for the great responses.

i was leaning toward the xbox, then the gamecube, then the ps2.

thing with the gamecube is, i'm a lowly college student and it doesn't play the dvd's. i think i should really take a look at the titles like he said above. but like i said, i appreciate the responses!

I already have all three consoles, but I'd probably buy another GC, because I heard you can link up 2 for 8 player MarioKart! 😀

You will need the DVD kit for the xbox anyways. Besides, don't you have tv-out on your computer to play dvds?
 
I've got a PS2, the games are great (many "must haves" that could be listed)...free online play, and it's a DVD player out of the box (unlike XBox)... I'd go with a GC second (which is what I want next...mmm, Metroid Prime and Zelda 😀)

Dito. I liked my PS2 but it broke so I got an Xbox. I think xbox is phat, but Ps2 is the only console with vice city! And gaymecube is filthy garbage.

 
I own a GC but I might buy a PS2 just to play Vice City & because I like the controller the best. Lack of time and money has kept me from playing much though 🙁
 
GameCube. Got Zelda now; can pick up Metroid, Eternal Darkness, Soul Caliber II (with Link) soon.

F-Zero's coming out. New Mario Kart is coming out (details just released a couple days ago).

Gotta go GC. If you're really not sure wait until after E3 when price drops are likely and big surprise releases will be shown.
 
I would get a gamecube cause I already have an xbox, if I didn't have an xbox I would be getting one. Put a poll for this.
