Message: <blockquote data-quote="CTD" data-source="post: 513023" data-attributes="member: 7402">The best advice you will ever get:(and yes I'm being biased).Rent them first. Even the GameCube. Blockbuster can rent any of them to you and will have a nice selection of the latest games (and you can ask the clerk's which ones rent the most to get an idea of what the 'best' games for each console are).This is what I did a year ago. My rankings (at that time) were:1. Xbox2. PS23. GCGameCube was too 'kiddy' for me at the time, despite being a good machine (also has better hardware than PS2, but not as good as Xbox). PS2 was a great system, with a great library, but it didn't have the visual power that an Xbox did. Xbox was number one for potential. It had enough games for my tatstes, stood to get even better as it's library expanded, and had the longest shelf-life at that point due to the power of the system.One year later I have bumped the GameCube up to #2 and the PS2 falls to #3. Why? Well, XBox is starting to get titles in good volume that show it's power over a PS2. GameCube has come out with some great titles that are starting to lure me in, (plus it costs the least of the 3). Metroid Prime and Animal Crossing make me want a Game Cube. The PS2 has very few exclusive titles that won't be on XBox or GC, and none of the exclusives it does have this year make me care. So every game that I would be interested in on a PS2 can be found on the XBox...Whatever you do decide on, don't buy until after Christmas. Word on the street has been building up rumor about another price drop for all three...</blockquote>
