Xbox Vs. GameCube Vs. Playstation 2, Which One Is The Best??
 

Im looking to buy one of these, in an effort to waste more of my time than I already do, but Im not sure which one is the best overall quality, which one do you prefer?

Nintendo lead the way in quality... Everyone then copies their style of games or designs of the consoles/controllers...

uhmmmm...ok. When? Maybe with the NES.

X-Box :thumbsup

I have an X-Box and a PS2. X-Box games look alot better, and you can't beat X-Box live for online gaming.

The only reason I keep my PS2 around is for the PS2 exclusives like Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear.

Gamecube is considered childs play.

ummmm... like the snes with the SHOULDER buttons on the controller... like the n64 with the ANALOG stick and mario 64 all 3d world landscape... zelda on 64 with the lock target system... need i have to use more examples? and metal gear is not exclusives it's out on all consoles...

Ok you were right about the controller stuff.

BUT.....Yes...Metal Gear is a Playstation exclusive. The other consoles do not get a MGS3 for another 10-12 months. Its in Konami's deal with Sony. Same thing with Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto's.

X-Box live

I would definately recomend the Nintendo Gamecube. I own all of the above, and it is by far my favorite.
:thumbsup

PS2

can you give me a nintendo ds... :Graucho

You should really go to a local store and try them yourself to find out what one YOU like most. They all have one good thing the others do not. Also you need to make sure that the games YOU want to play are supported on the console.

I have all of them and I play certain games on certain systems for different reasons. Most games are now coming out on all systems at the same time with a few exceptions so the titles should not be a big deal in picking one.

Around here the local stores have them out for you to play around with so you can get the one YOU want.

I am sure you would be happy with whatever one you choose.

Depends if you win ;)

I would say xbox, and out of the next generation ones coming out in 2005 the xbox2 is supposed to be the best also.

For as far as flat out fun the gamecube is king and as far as overall the xbox is next because of online and then Ps2...

I have all 3 and play Xbox the most

have all three and play ps2 the most.

It depends 100% on what you like. Gamecube for kids games, cutsey games and platformers. Xbox for power and a growin base of excellent titles combined with xbox live (makes it unbeatable IMHO) and playstation for sheer volume of games and as mentioned those not yet released on other platforms.

As someone said try them and see what suits you best. Gamecube the best console on the market ....what a very, very strange notion.

It's all about personal preference. Buy all 3 and try them for yourself. :2 cents:

I have all 3 consoles. This is how I use them if it helps.

XBOX is plugged in at all times.

PS2 is in the entertainment center, gets plugged about twice a week.

GameCube is my premanent foot rest.

You should get yourself a premodded XBox. You will thank me later.

I bought one of these:

(don't get the one with the upgraded processor and RAM, just get the base model with the 120 GB hard drive)

It's amazing the stuff you can do with it. Hell, it's worth the price just to be able to stream the internet radio stations through my stereo with a nice interface, not to mention all the emulators for older systems, ripping DVDs and games to the hard drive, running Linux, etc., etc.

Even if you don't get a modded one, I would still recommend an Xbox over the other systems.
