Wow. Most people say Cube now. I think there was a poll a few months back and no one said they wanted a Cube.

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! :D

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 :D)

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.
