Do i buy a cheap Xbox, Gamecube or PS2
« on: May 02, 2006, 12:04:41 PM »
want a 360 but they a bit expensive :( so i think ill get a cheap old console off ebay

gamecube i think i can get with 2 pads/some games and all leads etc, boxed for abour £30-40 on ebay ($80)

xbox i reckon about $100 (£50-60) with pads/games etc

ps2 i reckon about $100 (£50) with pads/games etc


thoughts? used to have a gamecube when they came out but sold it about 2 years back when funds got tight but it was dope when i had it...

I'd probably go with the gamecube but I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them since all 3 have lots of great games.

Personally I'd hav 2 say the PS2 just cos of the amount of top quality games that r available for them.

But Gamecube & X-Box game r sellin 4 nxt to nuffin at the mo so u cud probably afford 2 get loads of games.

I rock a gamecube....the system itself, and games are much cheaper than the other systems, and for the most part, youre gettng all the same shit....I still rock Tiger Woods, Madden, NBA Live, Slpinter Cell ect. all on GC....

judging from that id go with the xbox,its the most powerful out of the 3 and also has the best FPS's, the sports games are dope, has some nice RPGs and adventure games too, but its biggest positives r the FPS's and sports games ,those are tight on xbox. also faster loading times, and the hardrive are also a plus  8)

but fyi the ps2 has the strongest lineup of games overall and also has the most "health" with  the new Final Fantasy,God of War 2 and the new socom all coming out this year. Xbox only has 3rd party releases with no real exclusives since microsoft has moved onto the 360. Gamecube only really has 1 exclusive,but its a big one Zelda. Definitely a contender for GOTY. so yea take that into consideration too lol
