AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!  That is the funniest thing I have ever heard!

I gave the X-box a fair try, despite my feeling s towards it's makers.  I thought that with those specs it had to be good.
I have come to the following conclusions:
It loves to crash, it does this because it is based on Windows 2000 running on mostly off-the-shelf parts.  I tested it under different conditions, and always had the same result, it crashes often.

I then tested the GameCube under the same conditions and it only crashed once on me so far; that crash was during one particular level in Star Wars Rogue Leader, but that was caused by a massive bug in the game(Lucas Arts has admitted to this).  I have never had any other game crash the Gamecube.

So in conclusion, the X-box crashed on me regardless of the game played(lovely green screen it produces).  The GameCube crashed once during a level in Star Wars and never again.

I wound up buying a GameCube, and couldn't be happier with it.  There are less games for it, but they tend to be higher quality.  I love my GameCube and could play it all night.

Why use consoles? PC's/Macs will have better preformance in the future. Have you seen screenshots of Unreal Tournament 2(or 2003, I can't remember what the official name is), when you compare it to Halo it's like comparing the graphics of Doom to the graphics of Mafia(A beauty)

cloudstrife:
Well, many people (me included) like Japanese games i.e. final fantasy, zelda, mario.  that is why we buy consoles.

note that XBOX is an american console: no REAL japanese developer will make games for it.

PS2 and gamecube are both japanese

Interscope:
FF has PC versions, right?

And you can get an emulator.
