Alas! I can finally give an unbiased vote now.
As of recently, I bought a used Gamecube system for only $29.99 at GameStop. I only have one game for it though (Twin Snakes).
But I also own a PS2 and an XBOX.
My PS2 i bought back in Dec 2000, and I have about 60 games for it.
My XBOX I bought back in Jan of this year, and I have about 25 games for it.
I think all things considered, each system has a lot of strong virtues about them
If I had to choose an overall winner, it would be the PS2. You may think its because its the system Ive had the longest, or the one I have the most games for,..but really,.trying to look at each system from an equal standpoint,.the PS2 prevails because it can play DVDs, it can also play PSone games,..and its not as bulky as the XBOX.
The XBOXis a great system..but I think it could have been designed a lot less bulky than what it is. If console casing can be related, I would consider the "wooden" Atari 2600 to be a distant cousin of the XBOX.
Also the fact that you have to buy the add-on DVD kit for the XBOX is just flat-out gay. I hated it from the get-go, and I still hate it. The RCA brand remote feels so cheap. But the XBOX is cool that it needs no memory cards,..in fact, I never met an XBOX owner that owned memory cards.
The gamecube..my new little recently acquired gem..you cant help but to notice just how damned cute this system is. It just screams with cuteness. I have the silver one,.I did have the black one at checkout,.but I took it home and popped open the CD lid, and noticed it was very grungy inside. Almost looked like someone shoved crumbs of Ritz crackers, hair, dust, and butterfinger candy shards down in there...plus it was beyond dusty looking at every orifice of the system..the fan,.everywhere.
So I returned it the next day, and demanded one that looked brand new. which i now have. Its silver, but at least its not that gay Barney-the-dinosaur purple/indigo.
So, as you can see. I waited 6 years to get my hands on a gamecube, and saved a ton of money in the process!
owning all three 6th gen systems feels great
