If you want straight console, go with the gamecube.

But, if you want an all in one arcade box + console, get an xbox. I got an xbox with a mod chip and I put all sorts of emulators on it. I can play all arcade games, nes, snes, amiga, commodore, n64, and turbor grafx16 games on it. I'm playing all the classics I loved all on 1 console which is awsome.

I have a PS2 and a gamecube, so for me those are the best. I have yet to try an X-box so can't say if I like it or not. I am not into the one is better than the other argument, I believe it's the games that make the system. The system could have the best hardware and crapy games will drag it down (nintendo64). But that is just me.

I just bought a xbox last week so i will say xbox is better but my one is not modded yet.

A question for modded xbox owners is modding a xbox hard. cz I can open the console( already did) but never tried to install one modchip. My previous modding experience was PSX-CHANGE boot cd for PS1 that would allow me to play burnt games. :no:

i thought it was gonna be hard too, but it wasnt. i soldered the xenium chip and the only hard part was the D0 point which was reaaaallly small. but it wasnt too difficult. shouldnt take more then 30-40 min on a first try

what is ur most favourite gaming console?

i added computer in because some people prefer to play games on their computer even though i know its not really a "console".

my favourite is the PS2 cos it has the best games. :D

Agreed with you. The best games are in PS2.

For console, XBOX. However, PC and XBOX should be counted as the same thing. All an XBOX really is is a P3-733MHz, 128MB Ram, DVD-ROM, and a 10GB Harddrive. In addition, the XBOX "OS" is just Windows 2000 Professional with the XBOX shell file (replace explorer.exe with somthing like "xbxshell.exe"). Other than that, and the controllers ports, it is really just a PC. However, PC's you can have more power, more functionality, better graphics (remember, XBOX connects to a TV, wich uses NTSC format video and audio, which is very poor compared to an LCD Monitor). Just a few thoughts...

Pc is the best, then XBOX, then PS2, then gamecube (if you can even call that a next-gen system -- it has NO functionality compared to the PS2 or XBOX).

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
