Hello.
I understand that Xbox and Gamecube has been in US for a while now. But they dont come to Europe before May 3rd.
So, I wonder: which of them shall I buy?
Which one is cheapest? Which one have best games? Which one will make my life happier?
Thanks.



see ya!

I can only contribute what I've read, since I haven't played either system.

As I understand it, the graphics chip and CPU for the X-Box is much more powerful than the Gamecube. The only real complaint I've heard about the X-Box is that the controllers are small.

That's funny.. I heard the controllers were too big on the xbox (designed for adults as opposed to kids)

xbox controllers are huge. The main problem with the xbox is that it isn't quite as stable as the game cube. Sometimes I can tell the frame rate is dropping.

buy a PS2 but if you can't then get an XBOX a ps2 is the best but xbobx is second gamecube is the cheapest to buy by about $100 but its got crappy games. it seems most of the games nintendo comes out with all like little kiddy games and they kinda suck, and like i said a PS2 will make your life the happiest, but and XBOX would improve it quite a bit
