Ok, lets try this again. Hopefully the flamer lamers will stay away from this one. If not then it's just rude.
Gamecube is pretty sweet. And the fact that it made 98 million dollars in one day shows that. Luigi's mansion is really fun! The graphics are just superb and shows what is to come in the future. And it's small and not so clunky and clumsy looking. Looks stupid though. But the graphics are just amazing. ALso it's very well thought out. from the controllers to boot up to even the eject of the disk is pretty sweet. No more having to force the disk out, this simply has an eject button of the disk itself. very clever i think. Where the ps2 has a tray and damage is likely as someone out there will use it as a cup holder. ;p
I'd buy this if you want something new and different to try (cd's are 3 inch thick and holds 1.5GB's of data, really cool!) and out for metroid, mario, luigi, zelda and the gang. I'd get that. Same excuse for the ps2 with MSG2 and FFX.
and for those who looked at zelda and said it sucks and looks cartoonsish... ahh thats for the gameboy color.
PS2 is sleek and stylish. Graphics are just as amazing. I'll buying me one sometime later when the price drops.
the game selection is huge. it will take nintendo a long time to catch up. I'd buy this if your broke for now and had a PS before. You can run your old games and use your old controller and whatnot. You can always buy that other stuff later. Or buy it for MSG2 and FFX. It's PS2 what else can i say.
Xbox i don't like. Hard drives have a consistency of crashing. I think it's a notebook (read 2.5 inch) hard drive. They do last longer even when carried while still on and such. So it might be ok, but if you drop it even a foot off the ground the harddrive is probably not gonna work. Unless they did something clever to absorb the shock. And microsoft needs to earn their reputation in the gaming console arena and not buy it off. MS has a lot to learn in my opinion and i'd wait before buying it and see how it works first. Infact rent it at your local blockbuster or whatever. At least at my blockbuster you can rent game consoles. Thats what i'd do.
Nintendo has a very long and elite reputation for quality. Thats a fact. We all played Nintendo! Sony is elite also and some part has to do with Nintendo's screw up with the N64 being a huge bomb. I will admit at first i thought the gamecube was stupid and dumb. And then my dad bought it. played luigi's mansion and it's just incredible considering it's a first generation game.
To compare PS2 and gamecube you need to compare PS2's first generation games and luigi's mansion and gamecubes first generation game. Thats a bit more fair then compairing MSG2 and a random gamecube game.
Hey those are my thoughts and lets use this to discuss the consoles and looking forward to your thoughts!
