what u lot recommend a xbox or gamecube?
Xbox, Defiently...More powerful, more longtevity, more features, and the games are much more mature then Gamecube, although Gamecube has one or two "Adult" games like Resident Evil etc
ps2 :P
If it's between the two, yes definitely Xbox as the Gamecube is design around the childern of today. More of a childrens machine if you ask me, with a minimal amount of Adults action style games.
Surprised PS2 was not an option here.
so what if the gamecube aint got to many "adult" games, at least the games it has are good.
:D lolQuote:
ps2

however, you can fit up to 200gig
what do u use the hardsik 4?
This is a uk (prefebly) question but does any1 no whe i can get a good bundle for under £150?
it depends on what kind of person you are if you dont like to be scared or you are a wimp and dont wont a challenge you dont wont x-box, but if you like adventure and silly easy kid stuff you waste your money on gamecube
I'm in South Africa, when I went to Machester, I got an Xbox, plus 2 games (Turok/Halo) plus 2 controllers for 159 Pounds
i kinda want a gamecube just cause i like super smash bros melee but i got it for the 64 so i decided dont need it cause i got a ps2 still. Its a tough call depends on what kind of games u want
this might help a xbox bundle with gd games like shoot em ups action xtra
Don't listen to all these 13 year olds that make have a maturity complex. since when is shooting random people mature smart guys? The Gamecube (my preferable system and I am 18) has many games that are high quality. The X-box has one 5 star game (halo) where the GC has 5-10 (Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, Ikaruga, Metroid Prime, Zelda, Resident evil 1, and 0, Super Smash Bors Melee, Rogue Squadron 2 (3 coming soon) Mario Kart Double Dash, and i can go on and on.) Oh, and you can only play x-box online if you have broadband. where as GC supports 56k users and Broadband.
The GC's graphics are just one step behind x-box and they are still amazing. The x-ox controller is made for people with HUMONGOUS hands, where the GC controller fits all.
Trust me when i say that the GC is the better system. the only people that say the gc is "kiddy" are 13 year olds that have no life and judge how "cool" they are by the system they own.
Good luck in your decision.
Xbox .....its much much better than gamecube....i cant stand gamecube...its games are so childish
EDIT:
@ Xelotath ......man xbox has better controller than gamecube....and if its to big just get Controller S for xbox....its smaller
EDIT: @ Xelotath.....dude who wants to play with a 56k user....they are SLOW!!!.....the reason xbox is only broadband is because its much faster. Anyone that says 56k users are good isnt a good gamer because they should know all it does is slow down everything and make lag and sometimes get kicked off...
I have T1
judged by what system you own? lmao thats a good 1
X i can say like 3 of those games that people would like for more than an 10 min... also some of those games are just ports <_< RE1, Ikaruga (its on dreamcast also), SSBM (pretty much the same thing as the first IMO still a good game tho @ budget price). gamecube online has 1 game and there havent been any planned online games... plus that 1 game has a $8 a month fee to play... now who would want to pay 8 bucks a month to spend 5 minutes connecting and then get kicked 2 min later?
anyway if shit keeps going on the way it is now i say close it...
hahaha!!Quote:

Xbox has like 20 or so online games and by christmas of 2004 there is going to be at least 100 online xbox games. The only xbox game u gotta pay for to play online is Fantasy Star Online.
xbox :rolleyes:
-Xelotath I agree with you totally. I'm tired of all these damn thirteen year old using the fact that xbox has more "power" or "hard drive" space as a weak form of an argument.
Notice Twisters Post: "xbox has more power better graphix and way better online playing plus the hard drive"
-Woah, a bigger hard drive! There's no reason for it to be that big in the first place, all you really need is about 16 MB, all you're storing is game data, not video files.
-Who the fuck cares about the power, the difference in performance is so minute that it shouldn't even be a factor in deciding what console to purchase. Ever heard of Maddox? I think he said it best when he said:
"What he failed to realize was that just because you have all the raw material to make a great system doesn't mean it's going to be great. Saying the xbox is a good system because it's powerful is like saying you made a great painting because you used the best set of paints."
-Since when did power and graphics become such a big deal? It's the games that decide how good the console is. I would much rather play Duck Hunt or Metroid instead of a game that is suppose to have excellent graphics. Who gives a fuck?
-Guess what Xbox owners, Halo is not that good of a game. It's the only game that xbox has that is mediocre, I guarantee you that whenever you ask someone the best game for xbox they will always say "Halo" It's like clockwork. I challenge you to name 10 games that are equal to or better than Halo. For some help check out the other great games made by "Bungie" gnop, minotaur, weekend warrior, abuse, pid, marathon trilogy, myth & myth 2, and oni. Wow what a selection I wish I could play these excellent games.
-xbox is a bad console, made by an even worse corporation. Why would you even support Microsoft, don’t you know their history? They're a backstabbing company teetering on the edge of complete Monopolization.
-Why don’t you just go out and buy a computer for Christ’s sake? That's what it is! It's a low quality PC, if you know the slightest bit about PC's you'd know that the technology used in the xbox is outdated, so why is it that Microsoft thinks that this is acceptable. Yeah dude, come on over to my house and you can check out my new 733 MHZ processor! That wouldn’t attract anyone with some decent computer knowledge. Or how about that sweet 4x DVD Drive, wow what technology, how can they afford to put such great technology in such an awful system? Well the answer is they cant, they're losing so much money from this monstrosity that if it was any other company they would have stopped development as soon as the idea had passed through someone’s head. Microsoft loses $150 dollars for every xbox they sell, sounds like a good investment
-xbox also has the worst theory I've ever seen, hmmm lets put a bunch of crappy hardware into a huge box, that just by dropping will create tremors that can be picked up by seismographs in a 20 mile radius. The original idea behind the xbox was to create sturdy foundations for trailer parks, but they realized that this technology was too poor even to use among common slack jawed yokels. Something so large and such a huge waste of space that it needs its own backpack to carry around.
ACTUAL EVENT:
Person Says: Hey can you put my xbox into my backpack?
Other Person Replies: How about I put your backpack into your xbox.
-That made me chuckle so I thought I'd add it.
-Below Quote From CNET:
Quote:
Sales in Japan, where the Xbox went on sale in February, have been miniscule, with research firms in the country reporting sales of a few thousand units a week in recent weeks.
Sales in Europe, where the console arrived last month, have also been tepid, due partly to a selling price considerably above the Xbox's main competition, Sony's PlayStation 2. Microsoft responded by announcing a price cut of almost 40 percent early Thursday for the European Xbox. The console will now sell for for $266 in mainland Europe and $288 in Britain, compared with initial price tags of $419 and $434.
-Notice how they used the word "miniscule" does not sound like it's selling that well. It looks like America is the only country who has been stupid enough to buy into Microsofts crap.
SUMMARY: xbox is the worst console ever invented. Go with GC, go with PS2, go with Atari for fucks sake, just don't go with xbox.
Just Buy A damn X-box Dont get Gamecube i got it and it sucks , I like X-box more ONLINE gaming is fun!!! :)
If xbox is a low quality pc what does that make GC A REALLY SHITTY PIECE OF SHITQuote:
Why don’t you just go out and buy a computer for Christ’s sake? That's what it is! It's a low quality PC
for custom audio files unlimited save games, download content for games and you can even copy a xbox game onto the hard drive and play it off thereQuote:

get a atari thenQuote:

hhmmm game cube games are chilish but fun i might add the only mature games it has is BMX XXX and resident evilQuote:

ScotchGuy i bet your using a microsoft product right now its called windows unless u got a shit mac or linux
ScotchGuy that isint in debate :angry:Quote:
Why don’t you just go out and buy a computer for Christ’s sake
can sum please answer the question where can i get decent a xbox bundle for under £150?
Ok ScotchGuy,....you want 10 games to be named that make xbox the BEST and are as good as Halo. Not all of these have been Releases yet but here i go.
* Numbers dont mean how good they are*
*these are all ONLY on Xbox *
* And i have more than 10*
1. Counter Strike
2. Half-Life ( Not the same as Counter Strike)
3. Conker: Live and Uncut
4. Dead to Rights
5. Fable
6. Halo 2
7. Mech Assault
8. The Whole XSN Sports group of games ( about six of them)
9. Doom III
10. Quantum Redshift
11. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War ( Not sure if its only Xbox...i dont think it is)
12. Sega GT 2002 Online
13. Steel Battalion
14. Tom Clancys Rainbow Six 3
15. True Crime: Streets of L.A.
16. Unreal Championship
17. Xbox Music Mixer ( Not a game.....but used to copy CD's etc..)
18. Deathrow
19. Brute Force ( Its good after u get good at it)
20. Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II
Gamecube owns the xbox easily. Think how small it is, how small the games are. And some of the games on it
I have got none of the 2 consoles but if I chose one I'd probably go for the Gamecube, mainly because it's portable and most games for it won't appear on any other console.
and I know I'll probably get flamed for this but I think metroid prime looks better than halo :ermm: (braces himself for imminent flattening by flying xbox's)
plus I enjoyed all the games I bought on my N64 that have sequals on GC
rogue squadron
smash bros. melee
mario sunshine
mario 128
zelda wind waker
F-zero
starfox adventure
plus the gba link-up looks interesting
Metriod Prime sucks flaming @$$ ......Halo is THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME on any game system. Its so fun online. Its endless fun. Everyone one talks about it. Halo is AWESOME because of all the funny shit u can do. I always send warthogs flying across the sky. The game is just so good. But Halo 2 will show the world the power of Xbox.
but still cant ny1 answer where i can get a good bundle of a xbox?
might i point out the number of games in this list already on other consolesQuote:

Its a New Half-Life.....Half-Life 2 or something..
Counter Strike is a going to be a different version of it.( More features etc..)
Conker Live and Uncut has a ton of new stuff and its gonna be so much fun.....i was reading about it and there is a ton of new weapons....its alot better than Conkers Bad Furday
Mech Assault is much better than piece of shit Mech Warrior
Doom III will be ONLY on xbox.
Unreal Championship doesnt have the normal human weapons that UT 2003 does...it has different kinds of weapons and better levels.
then how come both E3 showings of doom3 were on pc?
Half-life 2 is also on pc (got the E3 movie myself :D )
the new counter-strike is also coming to pc called CS condition zero
and I'm guessing that Unral champ gave xbox users some mutators and the odd mod since they couldnt d/l there own
Whatever the case....i still named at least 10 which is all i care about
ah... halo 2
I got the E3 movie and I agree it looks excellent
I think I'll play it on an emulator when I get a new pc
You can download the Official Halo 2 from E3 here... This download is very nice quailty.

I hope you are kidding :lol:
Anyway you should look at it like this. If you have a powerful PC then you will be able to get a lot of the Xbox "console exclusive" games on there. If you don't then you should get an Xbox. The Gamecube has more exclusives than the PS2 and Xbox put together
Do you like online gaming? If Yes then get an Xbox. If not then get a gamecube.
Are emulation and homebrew game/app capabilities important to you? If yes then get an Xbox with a modchip. If not, get a Gamecube.
Do you have a Gameboy advance? If yes then you might consider a gamecube for the interconnectivity features. eg Splinter Cell uses the GBA as a HUD map. It's very very cool.
I got my Xbox bundle from amazon a while ago. It came with 5 games for £205. The games were all good too (Halo, Splinter Cell, Jet Set Radio Future , SegaGT 2002 & rallisport Challenge). So you might want to try them and see what they have available right now. www.chochollect.com (mars promotion thing) also had an Xbox for free if you sent in 70 mars bar wrappers. I don't think they do it anymore though :(
Gamecube! By a long way!
Seriously, I can't think of any reason why anyone who could only buy one console would choose a PS2 or X-Box above the GC.
Consoles:
1. GC - great games
2. X-Box - some great games, some not so great
3. PS2 - loads and loads of really poor games, and just one or two great ones
Please don't call me a fanboy, since I do own and enjoy all three...
