X box or Game Cube?
 

For X-mas my mom gave me the choice of Xbox or game Cube. Which one should I get? I really cant decide. I like xbox and game cube

I own everything out curently. Between these two, I'd have to go with a Gamecube.

X-Box has a definate advantage with online games, but I play my online games on my PC, PC's definately rule the online department.
Sure, X-Box is the most powerful system, and yes it has Halo, but ok, what else?

The other few games I own for it, are either out, or coming out, to the Gamecube. Cube however, has for it that is NOT coming out to X-Box (or PS2)

Eternal Darkness
Metroid Prime
Zelda (in February)
Mario
Rogue Leader (old game, still good)
Bounty Hunter (don't think it's going to X-Box)

-Bounty Hunter I have't quite picked up yet either

X-Box does have it's share, such as Panzer Dragon, Mechassault, and Steel Batillion for example, but overall there is more for GC that I personaly want. That and X-Box is DRY for RPG games, and I love RPG's.

I personally would get the Cube if I had to choose, but I do like having both. I don't think X-Box will truly shine until next holiday season when live is up and running, and they can get more games out for it. (Steel Batillion II)

I've heard somewhere that they are planning to drop GC to $150 Canadian for Christmas, not sure if its true though.

goto IGN.com and look at there game list and then there release date list and add up the number of games you find yourself interested in. After that make your decision off of the conclusion of that.. Well thats what I suggest ne wayz.

xbox has 2 free games right now, so go for the box ;)
i think that only lasts until christmas though, but you can get it off www.amazon.com with the 2 free games.

Rabber, are you mental? Aragorn, do not buy an XBox. Gamecube has a better selection of games, and while XBox may technically be more powerful, it runs like crap. Go with GCN.

Get a dreamcast! Burn your games!

Right now xbox has a deal at best buy near where Im at, buy the 2 game xbox bundle and get third game free... 1 xbox 1 controller and 3 games new for $199

Get Xbox. Fable's coming. And if you like to play online then get Xbox (or PS2).

get an xbox mod chip and a dvd burner you will only have to buy online games and you will need to install the chip and an on off switch for it then you have the most powerful system ever it can play divx and emulators it fucking rocks here ill posts some links
when i can get some the place i got my mod chip has been shut down

if you need to fit a switch for online gaming pm me because i web site when done but i remember how and i have some pics on my computer


If you buy a chip get the one i have so i can help you more

engima-X standard not pro
pro is alittle harder to do and i don't know much about it

I'd still get cube, but that game looks good.

Very good points. You know your shit with games when you start talking about Fable. But ... you're missing one game... Halo 2 and Splinter Cell (already out). Hehe... and yes, online is good too...but I can say ... from having both consoles (yes side by side), that X Box is better... but PS2 is cool.

X Box > PS2 > Gamecube

metamortal you also know the true power of xbox most people
the xbox is a way better choice

for me it goes PS2 > Xbox > GameCube and yeah I had all 3 of em at the same time also...

But that was before the big rush of good games.:wierd:

Xbox games I saw in the stores or coming soon, Tony Hawk (any) Splinter Cell, MGS2:Substance, Halo, Halo 2, Shenmue 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Star Wars: Jedi Outcast, Unreal Championship, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic....
Any many more QUALITY games like these.

I do not consider the likes of fanboyish games such as Mario, Starfox, Metroid Prime any good :p

but seriously I don't like mario and a fox with a gun is some what femine too me I like the hero's to be more realistic...

X-Box has one major advantage over GC besides the online factor, its called dvd player and it can save songs onto the built in hardisk which IMO is godly but i havent played the gamecube so i dont know.

beyond the hardware mostly all the GC people care about is the franchises, developers, and nintendo licensed characters...
which in my view makes for a very biased opinion which upon them playing a great game on another console they would shortfall it and not give it a very worthy rating.
