What games console would you buy or have.
3rd May it the date the Nintendo's Game Cube is launched in the UK.
I don't know what one to get, Sony Playstation 2, Microsoft Xbox or the Nintendo Game Cube?

Well the PS2 has some killer games, GT3 GTA3 MGS2, etc etc...
the x-box is a bit of a let down at the moment.
Id wait for the Game cube, is gonna be wicked when it comes out |

yeah definatly.
But the x-box is a bit of a scam, you have to buy an addon accessory to enable DVD playback.
and comparing the prices of the three machines, the gamecube is great value! |

I'm just reading in the Sun today that on the 3rd May the price is £169.99.
That really is a great price to launch a console.

well GC have a DVD player version... which is manufactured by panasonic.... it is silver in color.... but it will be a heavy console....
currently GC is the solo console with bioharzard 0 ( aka Resident evil 0)and all the Capcom has agree to produce the series part 4 on GC....
the graphic is for now the 2nd best, 1st is Xbox....
but PS2 is still an ideal model.... if u r looking for RPG games.... from Sq Soft... eg. Final Fantasy Series... and Wild Arm series...
BTW.. to all RPG gamers... the classic game from Sq soft XenoGear is coming out with a sequel.... XenoSaga Episode 1... it has already lauched in Japan... the graphics are cool... i think this game gonna be a great hit....  |
