Unless you're saving your whole game onto the HD, 8 gb is enough.

extras? Explain.

Actually you are calling it original, first you say why GC isnt original and then you say why Xbox is.

You're such a fan boy it isnt even funny :no:

I call it only better, I know that xbox is a pc..has everything in it as a normal pc, yeah yeah, but still you all have a pc and you can have a mic, and chat with friends during playing...and xbox was the one who introduced that function into consoles, yes i know that games like hey you pikachu, mic, communication, but not online...what else, if i reffer to originality of xbox, it is at least that its the microsoft first console...

Wait didn't Socom instroduce that? I forgot which was first :s .

Nintendo has ALOT of original ideas but they are stupid. Some work out, most don't. At least they are still trying.

About online. Nintendo was going to try it with Mario Kart DD but then decided to cut it for some reason. I don't know why because thats a majour selling point. The reason Xbox is starting to do so well is Xbox Live.

Oh and who ever said the XBox controller is original, well not really, its just Dreamcast + PS2 controller fused together.

Wait didn't Socom instroduce that? I forgot which was first

you know what!? i think you are correct. i remember buying SOCCOM US NAVY SEALS for the PS2 at the exact date the network adapter came out. and the Network Adapter. although my ISP did not support the Network Adapter at the time, that was pretty horrible. all has fixed now. Then i recall within 1 month or more the X-Box Live was released.

i dont think so, if you tried to LAN it over warp-pipe you would see that the network code isn't the cleanest and its very slow. maybe its something they were going to talk about before it was started, but the lan code could use a real major improvement.

REAL gamers wouldnt compare either against eachother. There both good or else they wouldnt be around still and wouldve made an announcement like Sega did and decided to drop production.

to be honest, i dont think a lack of selling stuff put them under, all my friends had a sega genesis back in the day, (even i did). i think it might of been mis-management. someone big didn't know how to handle the cash. and the GameGear was more popular to my friends then the GameBoy.

and yes i understand your concern about gamers arguing wich is better, i tried to make a unbiased post and Mr. "Knuxus" here just made a totally biased post against my comparison and it didn't make sence. and you kind of got to compare the two consoles (its appropriate for the thread type).

what the creator of this thread wants to know is which console is better for his needs, i wrote down what kind of needs each console fufills, many people argue that the X-Box graphics are better. However he doesn't want graphics does he? but yet theres different game types i compared.

Be back tommorow, your comments still arent enough to make a gamecube better.

i am not trying to make the gamecube better in no way what so ever, im trying to argue your false accusations about the gamecube, the gamecube is a fine machinery for everybody. you make the gamecube sound like a machine that cant run anything and is only for kids. People have preferences you know, and your post made me angry, i dont think you even read one word i made and i was just the post before you.

its like this. from a few key words you said i can guess you love microsoft. well, go into Open Source OS Discussion and start saying how much better Microsoft Windows is over Linux. they dont ague you because you have weird tastes and they are trying to get you to switch (well.. some maybe :p). they argue you because to them you make no sence what so ever or your comments mean nothing to them.

I have a friend who runs Linux 24/7. He says its so much better then windows, maybe it is? but linux isn't me. and thats why i am pro gamecube. X-Box does not suit my needs of a gamer. as mentioned above, i do not use x-box live or nor do i have use for half the games of the x-box. if you want to call them kiddy games go ahead. "I Like Kiddy Games" :cool:

No they really said that it was going to be online but then they cut it. I remember that because that was the reason me and my friends were going to buy it.

Nintendo never said Mario Kart would be online.

There were rumors of course. And I think Miyamoto made a comment about Mario Kart being a good kind of game to go online with if Nintendo wanted to, but that would be the extent of it.

Wow some pretty pathetic responses here. I like the effort to insult by saying something like "I guess your point of view is pretty accurate, except that it is in no way accurate" thats a good tmplatefor insulting someone.

Anyways On to my opinion I'd have to say

Xbox has the best titles. I play GameCube at my friends and have fun but overall the Xbox is better console with a better games. GameCube is more multiplayer oriented and has fun games like MarioParty series. But my vote goes to XBOX, exspecially modded.

REAL gamers wouldnt compare either against eachother. There both good or else they wouldnt be around still and wouldve made an announcement like Sega did and decided to drop production.

Yeah, but how long can Nintendo keep going like this? They don't seem to be able to read the market very well. Their stance on online gaming was that it is not ready for the mainstream. LMAO! :laugh: When Halo 2 was released many ISP's had trouble due to the huge strain it put on them, so I think it's fair to say it's quite popular already.

Nintendo backed cartridges (N64) when others used CD's (PS, Saturn)... Nintendo backed half-size DVD's (Gamecube) when others adopted full-size DVD's (PS2, Xbox) and could play regular DVD movies. Unless they start properly competing soon, then I fully expect their consoles will head the way of Sega - the one strength they have is their handheld domination, but it looks like Sony is trying to put an end to that.

Nintendo do great games, but in very small quantities. Even though the consoles are cheaper, they offer less value for money in comparison to the PS2 or Xbox.

i disagree, like i said earlier.. its all in tastes, i gladly ditched my PlayStation 2 for a GameCube. My neigbor would do the opposite. hed gladly ditch his x-box for a playstation 2. and then my other neibor ditched his playstation 2 for a x-box.

you gotta ask yourself the few questions, what kind of games do i prefer?

I with this guy. I prefer gamecube, I just love the zelda games. Who cares if Wind Waker is cartoony it is still fun.

you didn't miss much

585226193[/snapback]

Didn't think I would.

There've been so many threads like this: fanboys on either side fighting back and forth about why their console is the greatest thing since oxygen. Why can't people just leave constructive comments?

The arguing gets old.

personally, xbox has more games that i play. but i believe that to be considered a true gamer, you must embrace all systems. i still play my ps2 more than anything, dreamcast comes in seconds with xbox and gamecube tied for third.

This may come as a shock, but you do realize that Nintendo still makes a profit? Believe it or not they do make money on the GameCube, but especially with the GBA and DS. Just because they do not have blowout sales of their systems and games, doesn't mean they are going the way of the dodo. There is nothing wrong with making a normal profit even though it is not something spectacular. They have been around for 20 years and I do not see them going away anytime soon.

And I do not see anything wrong with their half-sized DVD games either. There is nothing wrong with them for wanting to stop piracy and their method works. Compare the amount of pirated games between the PS2, XBox, and GameCube. There is a huge difference. Instead of losing millions of year to piracy they have actually done something to stop it.

Offer less value in money then PS2 and XBox?! Yea right. The console is $99 and their best selling games are $20. Any game you buy that is made by Nintendo you know it is going to be good, but 2/3 of all PS2 and XBox games are crap.

The GameCube continues Nintendo's tradition of the greatest first party titles available anywhere- ever- easily releasing games that contend with the best there's ever been.

Metroid-Zelda-Mario.

If you're looking for thousands of mediocre titles, you won't like the 'Cube. That's not to say there are thousands of outstanding titles either, because there aren't.

What you'll find is a console worth buying for a specific handful of games- each of them better than just about everything on the market and easily worth the price of the GameCube alone.

Wow, so what is the reason for the console war pitting Gamecube and Xbox? There's no need to try and argue about which is superior to the other and I know I didn't start this as I clearly stated that I want to know which would be better to suit me with the games that each console comes out with. I did read all the replies besides when the real argument came up which there, I just skipped a huge chunk of this thread.

So reading it, there were many mixed opinions, thought it would be much easier but I believe both would be good for me like someone stated earlier. I like how Nintendo has many fun factor games but with that, most of the fun comes from playing it with friends which I don't have many living close enough. I know I would get a kick out of the Mario games, the upcoming Zelda game as well as Super Monkey Ball but Xbox is just holding something towards my head making me want that just a bit more.

I think I need some more time just seeing which one fits me more.

Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
    • At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
    • So size is the ONLY selling point????? People have been plugging in PC's to TV's in living rooms for 20+ years. I would take a bigger box for more peformance. Also lot and lots of SFF/Mini ITX build guides out there.
    • My point is, if you buying this instead of a console for TV purposes, that you need to understand that you will not be able to play the most popular MP games with Steam OS. Now if you are not into those games, and into some of the perputual alpha/beta games on Steam then this is an option. I would argue a gaming PC would be the better route, more expensive but take the 1k -1.4k you are about to spend on this thing and build a better one. Because it is running Linux you can overide its 1080p settings. However The Verge complained about its 1080p cap and how you would have to get around it at the CLI, so someone buying this instead of a PS5 or Xbox might have a challege on their hands.
