GC, PS2 or XBox ???

E-LITE

I need help. I'm getting 1 of the above consoles (GameCube, PS2, Xbox) but don't know which one. Can someone/body please help me out???

Btw, I like action games but don't really want to spend too much money on games and accessories every week.

Well ive got PC and xbox,my brother has PC,xbox and PS2.

I play PC 95% of the time the rest going on Halo when i link up with friends.Apart from that xbox has little going for it.

My brother is in the process of selling his 2 week old xbox as it is just sitting there,he too plays PC mostly but also his PS2.
Id go for a PS2 ,a games console needs games and thats exactly what PS2 has in bucketloads of great games.
Anything my friends and i have played on xbox was poor apart from Halo multiplayer.

I can think of many great games for PS2 ,Pro evo soccer 2.MGS2,Grand theft auto and vice city,the list goes on.
If it wasnt for my PC id be getting rid of my xbox in favour of a PS2.

Dont be at yourself

If that XBox + JSRF, Sega GT, Halo and Spliner Cell for £199 (Just over €300) bundle deal is going to available over here, I'd say go for that. None of the games are bad, and two of them have been receiving great reviews from the press.

Its lineup is also chock full of generic action games, so that might appeal to you. And, you don't need to buy a memory card. But if your hands don't resemble those of a space mutant you may want to go for a smaller joypad!

If that offer isn't available here, go for the PS2. GTAIII and Vice City could literally keep you busy until next Christmas. And there's always the platinum label where you can pick up some great games on the cheap.

i'm not a fanboy and not starting a flame war, but those titles speak for themselves, if you're not tempted by gc, i would choose an xbox if you're tempted by the LIVE, do you have broadband ?

If you do not have a PS2, it’s the best choice, the main reason being the amount of games.

As for XBox Live, there are currently no plans for XBox Live in Ireland, this is what I got when I asked about XBox Live here...

"We do not have broadband yet. Microsoft is committed to continuing the development of broadband partnerships in Europe for Xbox and plans to make additional announcements regarding the March launch countries over the coming months."

i heard that too monument but i also heard that isp permitting something can be worked out, dunno how , but how hard can it be to work something through to the offical services of btopenworld and ntl with live,

hope they sort something out,

apparently, there was 135 xbox live kits sold in britain in the first week which isn't alot but its surely a start
