Should I buy a GameCube for my birthday? I was really only considering it for the upcoming MGS game "Twin Snakes" but there's some other cool games I might like too like that mario kart game and other games I couldn't be bothered to get for ps2 :P

Or should I just buy an X-box?
Well as you posted a little bit down, they are alot closer to a working cube emulator than a X-box, so i would get an xbox.
Isn't twin snakes just a remake of mgs1?
Yeh it is but MGS1 is the best game ever. :P
MGS1 was better then the 2nd :PQuote:

True, but I do not think that just improving graphics (i realize there would be a few other extras too) is enough t warrnat buying a system.Quote:

Edit: Edited out opinion as I never want to be the starter of a console war.
GameCube has alot of other exclusives too...Some seem abit childish but some look cool :P
Gamecubes a great system, just not a hell of alot of games for it yet,
And if your an Rpg guy, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is coming out soon, and that ones GC exclusive, so theres another reason next to Metal Gear.
Buy it. Get Metroid Prime. Get Eternal Darkness for 20$. Get Viewtiful Joe.
Say goodbye to family and friends , close the curtains , play 'till your eyes bleed.
Works for me everytime.
*and the doctor says I'll be blind in two years' time*
F ZERO
DOUBLE DASH
SMASH BRO'S MEELE
RES EVIL SERIES
MGS TT
SONIC ADVENTURE DC
all reason's to get a GC over a
HALO
UM...
X BOX
Gamecube does have a lower cost and their old exclusives are really inexpensive now.
Xbox actually has more games going for it than you think though.
1. Xbox has better graphics than all the systems.
2. Xbox has alot of the same good games that others systems have and they are on the X.
ex. Splinter Cell, Need For Speed Underground, Max Payne 1 & 2, Dead To Rights, GTA, Spiderman, ......the list goes on.
3. They have the best online gaming.
4. Their exclusives are not bad either. Make sure you get Otogi, a very underestimated game. It's sorta like Devil May Cry.
Gamecube's controller won't cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by weight alone :P
But I've got to admit , I was tempted to buy one.
EDIT : an XBOX , that is :D
I strongly agree, along with that get Animal Crossing. AC should keep you busy for years.Quote:

I would get an Xbox and the new Splinter Cell game.
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomarrow is going to be be for all systems.
Yup, I know. I just like Xbox over Gamecube, thats all. :rolleyes:
And I've played both MGS and SC, I liked SC more. But hey, that's just me...
i think gamecubes are rather good i find the graphics to be just as good as that of an XBOX and PS2
not very many good games though mostly crappy cartoon ones like Mario
Yeah I agree, the Gamecube's graphics are wonderful. I just don't like the controller, and the fact that it can't play DVDs, the games are okay.Quote:

if you got broadband get xbox its worth it if you plan to play online
I would but I think I'd need a credit card. :( Unlike on the PS2, PS2 Online gaming is great. I admit i's not quite as good as X-box Live yet but it's only been out for a little time and with people like EA refusing to but there games online for X-box it should be taking over it in no time. Games like GT4, Killzone Etc coming this year, the only thing it's lacing is downloadable content because of the lack of the hdd...but that problem will be solved soon when sony decide to release the hdd in europe
get a gamecube.... all the games that come out for playstation and xbox usually comes out for PC but game cube never comes out for PC so you should really get a gamecube :D
I just got a Gamecube for Christmas and I'm loving it. So far I have Soul Calibur II, Metroid Prime and the Zelda Collector's Disc.
I'd definitely recommend getting one. :D
The ONLY worth getting on GC are the exclusives but they are really good.
I have all the systems so they all have their place.
GC for exclusives
PS2 for exclusives and online exclusives (like Madden '04)
Xbox for everything else (exclusives and multi-console games)
It's very simple.......if you just have to play Metroid Prime or RE 0 get a GC (that's why I bought it).
Remember though it is the most limited in terms of features of all the consoles.
It was the last system that I bought and I got it for dirt cheap.
I am not going to buy the PS2 HDD because:
1. It should have been included with the original system (like Xbox) so now I'm supposed to spend MORE money for an add-on.
2. I think the price will be too high.
3. I'm skeptical of how many games will utilize it.
i love my gamecube! i'm a gamer and buy all! sure, it doesn't have that many games, but there are a lot of exclusives on that system. afterall, u CAN play gameboy games on the big screen too!!!
for $100Quote:

well I think you should buy a nice cpu\already a good emulater out, if'n you want to buy something should get a modded xbox or ps2 with a internet connect :)
To answer the original question (once again) :

Yes. You should. Trust me , it's not something you'll regret.
I think I'll take fred devliegher's advice unless X-box's price is lowered before the end of february because I need a new tv too.
Think about the cost vs benefit.
Like muchpl2 said, a modded PS2 or Xbox is better.
No more paying games.
GC's are not modded so in the long run you pay more.
u can mod a gamecube for free by urself i read it in a magazine in the Uk.
theres this paper clippy looking thing connected to a matal thing and u move it along to the left t the next matal thing or u can buy a free loader.
:huh:Quote:
