[QUOTE="Baron Von StarBlade, post: 455301, member: 1522"] I suppose I'll chime in since I own all three game systems. Ristamar gave an excellent overview of the three systems, but I really thing the emphsis needs to be put upon the game library. Currently PS2 dominates the market in this category. It literally has hundreds of games that you can buy. The current trend is for most games to be ported to all three systems when they are released. Therefore moving forward you'll be able to get all the major games on all 3 platforms. Of course this means you want a console that will have alot of exclusive titles. This is where the Gamecube shines. It has lots of games that will only show up on it, which in my eyes scores major points. Another thing you might want to consider is what type of TV you'll be playing on, the XBox is really designed for HDTV's where as the PS2 and GC have only a few games that offer HD support. All that being said, if I had to pick a single console I'd probably go with a PS2, the graphics on it aren't as dated as people lead you to believe, and it has a library that no one else can come close too. If you can afford 2, then get a GC second, then only if you have no life (like me) should you pick up all three. Just my $0.02 [/QUOTE]
