I see that there are ALOT of Nintendo fans in here. I myself have PS2, Xbox and got the Gamecube from US.
PS2 is a great console, got alot of games that are really, really good. Thats what makes this a console that still sell today. Sony have really done well with the games. And it looks good too, and the bonus that it can play DVDs makes it a worthwhile deal. The controller is a bit small for my hands, but the rumbling is the best of all the 3 console controllers.
Xbox. Power is nr1 word combined with this console, BUT it has some extreme games like HALO too, that does make this a very good contender, and from the games i've seen coming, wow the gfx are good and wow what a list of games. Take a look at www.teamxbox.com to see some games and the pictures of them. And the controller isn't that bad as many say, i have big hands, maybe that why i like it that much, PS2 is to small for me there. Downside is that it is big and not that good looking, but hey, we are gonna play games, not watch the console are we?
Gamecube, as I see it is the loser, sorry to say it, but its got almost NO good games out yet, and its been out for a long while. We didn't get our good old mario, insted we got his BROTHER, man i was disapointed. It has better gfx then PS2, but still pretty far behind XBOX, and you notice that when you have them all. Controller is sweet and good, and the prize is very sweet indeed. But if it doesn't get any good games out soon, it won't sell well. From what i've heard, its almost not selling in its home land Japan, its WAY behind in sales numbers, and i think its because of the games. What has happened to nintendo on this thing that they were the master of beats me, I do see that they have games underway, but they all seem so far away it just makes me cry. For you nintendo lovers, lets hope we get some GOOD games for its launch in Europe, unlike what the rest of the world got. They did well on the look on the outside tho, not that i notice that much when i play, but its easy to take over to friends if needed.
The winner, well it depends on money. Low money, go for PS2 as i see it now, more money, defenetly try the XBOX out, it WILL suprise many of you MS critics, it did that to all my friends at least, i just got them to sit and watch me play, didn't take long before they begged to try it out too.
Thats my words, hope they make some sence.
PS!!! No i don't hate nintendo, i have had every console they have made, just it really disapointed me with this one, what they once were so good at, they are now failing badly on, a shame imo.

Old topic.
Now the Xbox is almost as cheap as GC! (In Europe at least)
So why buy yesterdays hardware?

if the xbox had implemented dvd-playback, you would have to pay for the dvd-license too, that would make it more expensive. if you buy a mod-chip you can also play divx and vcd movies on it and install linux on the harddrive. the xodus modchip doesn´t need soldering so almost anyone can install it. could it be better? |

I'll go for the PS2, im still planning to buy this Christmas, mainly because the console is much cheaper and at the same time they have more games (and cheaper too!)
Bootleg games here in the Philippines would cost P150.00, when converted to U.S. Dollars would be $2.88 only!!!  Plays as good as the original hehehe

hmmm.... lastest news from CNet is that microsoft finally agree to launched XBox in asia... begining with SIngapore... So those asian gamers can get the console or games of xbox at a lower price... the launched in singapore will be in Nov. Currently we do have Xbox selling here but they are all imported so the price of the console is abt 500 to 600++, but after the launched the price of the console will be 388. (all units in Sing Dollar) And the controller will be the asian model which is smaller compared to the US or Europe version which is bigger. |
