KnifeFace Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 me thinks Xbox because: -> you can play DVD Movies -> play on the internet through PC (LAN) -> big kick-ass controllers :D -> nice black colour -> HALO! & other great games I'm getting mine the summer, after the big tests :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Me thinks GameCube because: - More portable - Controller actually feels good. If it is too small there are tons of bigger ones. - Made to be game console, not play DVDs. - Virtually no loading. - Much better 1st and 2nd party support - Can get the screen to go on top with extra money from not getting XBox - Resident Evil, Perfect Dark: Zero, Metroid Prime, etc. This is no kiddie console like the XBox fan-boys keep saying, that is their only main arguement. - You can get adult or kid games - If there is not DSL or Cable in your area then your gonna be screwed come XBox internet time. Not with GameCube, they've got broadband and dial-up. - Not in financial trouble unlike the XBox (not Microsoft, the XBox sales I mean) - Nice black, purple colors with more comming later. - Super Smash Brothers: Melee! & Other Great Games. - You can get a wireless controller (and other good ones already) soon. - Smaller disks are much better IMHO, it is just a preference, though. If you argue the hard drive, your wrong, too, because GameCube will be getting one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted April 27, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2002 I'd personally get the Gamecube, I don't think Halo is worth ?250. I'd get Gamecube with Waverace, Rogue Leader, Luigi's mansion, couple of controllers, Resident evil when it comes out, and the Zelda: Ocarina of time remake! Check that Ocarina Of time remake here: http://www.gamesradar.com/news/game_news_3081.html I LOVED Zelda, and no, I'm not a 5 year old!!:DD:DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I must agree :) Another reason I like Nintendo is that even though their games may seem like "kiddie" games, they still appeal to most everyone. Halo is a great game, don't get me wrong, but there is nothing ground-breaking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
