Well my fav. is the [glow=blue,2,300]Sony PS2[/glow] because I'm quite more use to it and I love the games for it: FFX, DMC2, MGS3, GTA SA, TEKKEN 4, etc, I don't know why people say PS2 have ugly graphics, I mean look at MGS3, Silent Hill 3, Smackdown! Vs. Raw etc.. and do they have ugly graphics? NO!... I will stay loyal to sony consoles for a long time ;D... I'm no fanboy(i was before) or anything... Some of the reasons I don't really like [glow=green,2,300]Xbox[/glow] and [glow=purple,2,300]Gamecube[/glow] is the controls... I mean I been playing playstation for so long and I can never get used to the controls for GCN and Xbox... So what's is your favorite console between 3 of them?? (don't flame if you didn't like my comment for the box and the cube aight?)

(don't flame if you didn't like my comment for the box and the cube aight?) Well, firstly, these are the current generation of consoles... Next gen would be Xbox 2, PS3 and Revolution... My fav would be Xbox as it offers what i think are some of the best games available on any console. Its better than the PS2 as its has most of its high profile games, but better versions... I like the Xbox controller S as it has much better analog control than PS2 or GC. Although its does suffer from having no shoulder buttons in some games. The hard-drove means you dont need to splash cash on a memory card and it had 4 controller ports. |

Obviously I voted for Gamecube (For those who don't know I'm probably the biggest Nintendo fanboy here  ) Simply because of the pure fun value and quality the system has given me for the past 4 years. Including the fact that I absolutely love the hardware itself and the unbelievable titles that Nintendo manages to put out on the console time after time never gives me a dull moment for my Cube. Whether it be breaking the waves and saving the princess in Wind Waker, to battling evil space pirates in Metroid Prime the titles on the purple box are in my opinion stellar, and it's ashame the system gets so much disrespect from the public. As for Xbox and PS2, there's no denying the systems also are extremely solid consoles and both have features that warrant their spot in anyone's entertainment center. But for me it's all about the Nintendo exclusives and that's where the Gamecube delivers for me, and when the new Legend of Zelda hits my Gamecube's disk drive it'll be guaranteed the Cube is my fav. system. |

If your talking the current consoles I'd have to say Xbox. Why? The controllers and hard drive have a lot to do with it. I love the S controller (I've got 4 of them hehe ;D ) and not having to pay for a memory card every time one gets filled up saves a lot of cash over time. If your a gamer, if not you probably only have 1 or 2 memory cards for you PS2, but if your like me you have at least 4 of them. The fact that it has some of the best looking and well put together games is another reason. The main reason I think the Xbox is the best current console out there is XBOX LIVE. Yep that’s right its the best put together online gaming you'll find out side of the PC. With downloadable content none of the other consoles out there can even compare to the Xbox. Your tired of playing all the same maps on the Halo 2 multiplayer no problem you can just download more of them next month. You want new characters in your online gaming no problem download them...you got to love XBOX LIVE. The PS2s online gaming just sucks and the fact that Nintendo won't even talk about online gaming for there current console was just...stupid in my opinion. Now if your talking Next Gen Consoles...I can't answer that one yet. The PS3 looks like its going to kick some butt with a Hard Drive much better graphics and an awesome online gaming experience. (I kind of hope they change there controllers too. The analog sticks were way to close together on the PS1 and PS2) Nintendo also looks great I've been hearing things like there online game experience is going to be like nothing you've ever seen before, and, well I haven’t been this much into Nintendo since the N64. Xbox 2...I'm kind of scared here its looking like Microsoft has smelled blood in the water...people love the Xbox so lets take the hard drive out and sell the Xbox 2 for $300 and charge $100 more for the hard drive then tell everyone that in order to play online and to play some of the games you have to buy are hard drive...  Of course none of that is for sure but its a scary thought. I really hope that all of this is just rumors and the hard drive stays in. On a more positive side of the Xbox 2 it looks like the graphics are just going to be awesome...some of the pics of what they expect games to look like on the Xbox 2 are incredible. I've also heard that the Xbox 2 might even be out at the end of 2005 well the PS3 and Nintendo’s new console won't be out till mid to late 2006. To end this I’m going to just say this after E3 2005 I think I’ll be able to make my choice. |

I think this year's E3 is going to be the best yet.
We should have playable versions of Xbox 2 and PS3, and a look at Revolution.
We should also get a good look at some of the Xbox 2 launch games. Cant wait!
Back to this generation, i must agree that Xbox is the best in my opinion. Its been the only console to actually push consoles forward.
The controller S is brilliant. My only problem with it is the black and white buttons. Far too small and out of place.
The hard-drive is excellent as it allows developers to get the best out of games, let us play our own music in games, no need for memory cards and let us dl new content for games.
The graphics are also the best available for consoles. In my opinion its the best value for money console.

I was really torn because I love the Gamecube but the Xbox is just above the Gamecube. I really don't know why the PS2 would be your fav system. It really doesn't bring anything to the table that interests me except FF maybe.

Without those exclusives PS2 would be nothing as its a poor piece of hardware in my opinion. Of course Xbox is has the PS2's biggest title which leaves PS2 bare for me. I wont be going on the PS2 for a good while now. Its going to be all Xbox for me until the new Zelda comes out. |

Well, I can't wait for some of the Xbox games, especially Jade Empire and San Andreas. But there are a lot of other games I am looking forward to. The Gamecube has a couple other titles I am also wanting such as Fire Emblem.

Yeah, true indeed and w/o Halo, PGR, Fable, Half-Life... Xbox would be crap IMO... man w/o those exclusives, I doubt that Xbox would be selling a lot. I really don't know why the PS2 would be your fav system. It really doesn't bring anything to the table that interests me except FF maybe. Scroll up to my first post to this thread and you'll know why PS2 is my fav... I'm not interested in Xbox cause most of the exclusives are FPS games (which I really hate) and the buttons on the xbox controllers are poorly positioned IMO... and for gamecube, the titles for it is mostly "kiddy" type and Im not into that... so there |

The reason most people like the Xbox over other consoles is the hard drive not the games. Take sports games that are on every console for example. There all the same on every console right...but on the Xbox you can download any of your CDs you want onto its hard drive and listen to them well you play the game instead of the same songs over and over. You can also play other people from all over the world with Xbox Live well with the PS2...it just sucks and the gamecube I don't even have to say anything about online play there. The Xbox doesn’t have to have a lot of exclusive titles because it takes the games that are on every console and makes playing them on the Xbox more fun then it is to play them on all the other consoles. Play a game that’s on every console on the Xbox and you’ll get a much better looking game and have a lot more options of what you can do with the game then on any other console out there. With the Xbox you can upgrade it yourself. Put in a bigger hard drive and get all kinds of cool things done to it like being able to save entire games to your hard drive so you don't even have to have the game to play it. ;D  Its not always about the games, sometimes its all about the options you get with your console that makes you love it. |

I admire your loyalty to Sony but i wouldnt start saying you are going to buy PS3 already. What do you know about it? Sometimes ignorance can get the better of people. Next-gen i advise you to take all 3 consoles into account before making a purchase. |
