For me XBOX is the best console too! Its powerfull and if you consider its the newest console without any background and quality games such as Hallo, Dead or Alive 3 and Formula 1 then I cant even imagine whats coming in the future when the programmers unlock the power of this console! As for the price its going to be 299 euros and thats cheap considering only a GForce 3 costs about that for my PC.
So for me XBOX rulesssssss!!!!!!!

who paid over £300 for a crappy PS2? Ive got a PS2 and have played it about twice.....

I got my PS2 from HK as soon as it came out - ie japan release. and honesetly its a waste of time.....



I suppose its all a matter of taste, but i bought my PS2 on release date here in UK, and have been pleased since. GT3 GTA3 and MGS2 all top quality games, worth every penny i think. Plus the DVD player without having to shell out extra (xbox style) just for it to work, is great, and just what i wanted.

My brother just last night, got himself an xbox. personally i dont like it, the chunky controller is a right turn-off. But my brother thought it was excellent.
Cant wait for the cube, it does look awesome. Im really thinking of getting one if i do, i can then compare all three consoles

lingart> I attempted to get 120 stars in Mario.. though challange, but damn fun!

I don't know really why I like gamecube more than ps2 and xbox.
Guess it's from bad memories with loading times with playstation.
Windows, from microsoft.
And.. everything absolutely perfect with nintendo
So I have more faith in nintendo, they produce great games.

Of course.. GTA3 is really something.. but I'll wait 'til it comes to pc rather than buying a ps2.

It feels like gamecube will last a lot longer than ps2 or xbox.

How much does a "Q" cost in British pounds in the Philippines?

To any Brits out there do u get the distinct feeling that companies like Game and EB are ripping us off when it comes down to the Gamecube?

They are still charging £170 according to their website.

Have you asked them in store? Usually they'll lower their prices to meet the competition.

I might get me Gamecube from WH Smiths. They're offering the lowest price I've seen all day.

The game consoles are all good, but i've come across the nokia media terminal and hardware wise it's in a league of its own. Software wise its based on an new os which runs on alot platforms - allowing you to play your games anywhere!

it's around US$499 thru online store in hong kong. maybe more cheaper not thru online store. i think it's a nice deal considering you can play dvd on it.

Looked in WH Smiths, EB and Game all selling them for £129 although you might have to buy it in a special deal with the EB/Game to get it at £129.

Also go to www.play.com they're selling pretty much everything on shiney discs of joy really cheap.
