that would be cool (it would also save me a lot of money…)
The problem is that many television sets over here dont accept an ntsc signal, so usa consoles only display in black and white!! I believe a good television is a must for gaming, and my sony tv takes everything - and displays it perfectly!..
I’m actually going to help out the mods in saying this guys…
The mods are right about all this “game system” debating… I did a double check in the forum search lines and I found well over 60 topics about fighting over game systems… 60 topics! That’s alot…
Albeit… Try and help them out by finding old dicussions and renewing them whenever you can…
I can’t get in this debate though… You only asked for 2 out of the 4 major systems… You missed out on two huge systems… computer and xbox… And yes they are major.
Playa is right - they are two major systems. In fact you all are using one of them right now
I am looking at the poll above and cannot believe that so many people think the PS2 is better in every respect… this means games to!
sit’s and ponders for a moment
Oh well - that’s what makes these things so fun If we all liked one system or kind of game there wouldnt be the variety there is today that’s for sure.
Pal isn’t better than Nstc in all ways Mariofan. One of them hasbetter frame rates and the other has better picture quality. Ican’t remember which way round though.
what about the ability for ps2 to go online you ask?
cubes comin out within a year with an adapter much like ps2s that will allow for upcoming games such as animal crossing 2 (yay!) to go online as if it were an mmog
LoL SS. Maybe I should pick up a GC, I really want some of the games. Unfortunately, one awesome game every 2 months doesn’t push me to the buying edge, yet.
But how many awesome games come out on the ps2 or xbox every 2 months?
The same amount. Some times you are lucky, some times you arent. Within the next 2 months I see a lot more for the gamecube that I will buy than I will for the ps2 or Xbox, and I have an Xbox. But agin - this is just my opinion… it all depends on the games you like
Trust me - the new Zelda would be enough to make me buy a machine - not to metion that you can pick Mario Party 4, Mario Sunshine, Metroid (game of the year last year) or Resident Evil 0 when you buy a new cube right now…
I see where you are coming from man, video games are expensive for sure. I just recently got an Xbox from Ebay and I love it - just not as much as my cube hahaha
The reason I got it was because of the Sega Sports games, the Online gaming and because Rare has signed with Microsoft.
But to try and persuade you a bit more - the cube is pretty cheap plus you get a free game so really for the price of 2 1/2 games you could have a system, a controler and a game - not bad!
I think I’m gonna make it a family purchase, (LOL), cause I know my sisters will use it a LOT, so I’ll say I won’t buy it unless they each put in 25 bucks and buy their own controller.
Psst, I have 3 sisters, makin’ for 75 extra dollars and ttl 4 conts. yay.
Yeah… I have a free gamecube sitting downstairs… But really… I don’t play it much… I don’t have much of a selection when going to the vid store to rent games…
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 was great…
As was Sonic Collection…
I couldn’t stand Metroid though because of the controls… Took me an hour to figure out a good hand position on the controller and I still wasn’t comfortable… And I don’t have big hands btw…
I don’t feel like buying a new controller either cause it’s not my system… But I’ll admit GC has some great games… Mario Sunshine is fun but I couldn’t gte into it…
As for ps2… I never got into the Grand Theft Auto series much unless I was stoned or drunk… Because then… It was FUN! hehe… Lemme see… Final Fantasy 10 was a great game… Shinobi was an awesome game! And I have plenty of games to go out and rent from the stands…
Now X-Box… I have the most games in this… Outlaw Golf, Tiger Woods Golf, Halo, Silent Hill 3, Tony Hawk 3, and plenty of other games… They were all fun to me… Maybe not to everyone but to me… The controller fits my hand perfectly and it’s the only system I’ll play a FPS on because I can do it well with the controller…
As for computer… it owns all… hehe… Warcraft 2 and 3, Starcraft, Masters of Orion 1, 2, and 3, Total Annihilation, Total Annihilation Kingdoms, Counter-Strike and plenty of other games… And also the sheer ability to produce games for it.
:beam: My vote goes for the computer then xbox then it’s a tie between ps2 and gc.
cough Expect half-life 2 on xbox (only console). A real ball-buster would be if it was xbox exclusive for a few months before it got on PC, but that’d never happen.
