I have an X-Box, and I think the PS2 is better. I'm not sure about the stats, but PS2 has so many more games and they're much better than the X-Box. I've tried playing Halo and 007, and it's difficult with the controllers that the X-Box comes with. They were rented games, so I didn't have a lot of time to get used to it. Maybe with more time it would be easier.

The best gane I've played on the X-Box is NBA Inside Drive. That's probably the best basketball game since NBA Shootout 97, on the PS1. For this game alone, it's been worth it, for me, to have the X-Box.

I hope they keep coming out with more games. I'd like to see the Twisted Metal series on X-Box, as well as GTA 3.

I pitty the fools who spend money on consoles. Emulators are the way to go. I recommend MAME32. It brings all your arcade faves to your home for free! Finding the ROMS (the actual games) can be a pain in the ass. I have an extensive colection that I will happily provide to anyone in exchange for explosives or narcotics.

Considering I've replaced my PS2 three times since launch day, and the inevitable release of the X-Station, my heart still belongs to my PCs.

Actually, the rumored Microsoft system is called the HomeStation. Sorry about that.

Some info can be found here: http://www.pcvsconsole.com/hank/answer.php?file=383

It'll probably never see the light of day, though.

every console has it's good and bad points. that includes the gamecube. they each have something for everyone. i have the x-box and the gamecube, and i'm happy with both. the new controller s for the x-box is easier to use than the piece of shit they originally came out with. the problem with the ps2 is that yeah it has more game than the other two, but the majority of them are crap. it isn't the amount of games a console has,but the quality of those games that makes it better than the rest.

Yeah, I'm sure everyone playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the PS2 right now is saying, "Damn, I wish I had a GameCube so I could help Mario on his quest to keep the ice cream from melting, or help Yoshi collect all the marmalade jars to rescue the marshmallow people from the evil Broccoli King."

I HAVE BOTH THE X-BOX AND THE GAMECUBE, AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE X-BOX IS BETTER. THE GAMES IN THE X-BOX MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN EDGE, BUT THE GAMECUBE HAS WAY BETTER CONTROLLERS AND HANDLING. THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT IT HAS THE BEST GAME EVER, ZELDA. THAT SAYS IT ALL.

The Zelda games are probably some of the greatest games of all time.
But aside from that, all you have on the gamecube is Mario and Yoshi doing everything from race-car driving, to mud-wrestling, to street dancing. It's all the same characters everytime.

You can't rate a gaming system on only a couple of games. If that's the case, then the atari system is the greatest sytem of all time because it had Baker's Dozen.
