PS2 vs the Box

[Gurm]

I agree that the bad game selection has the potential to drive Gamecube into the ground.

But you cannot assert that ANYTHING about the XBOX is technically superior. It's the same machine I built for my little brother a few years back, only with a slightly updated graphics card. It's a crappy PC in a shiny black box. That's all it is. One of these days, one of the Project X people will beat the DVD encryption, and we'll just play XBOX games on the PC.

And you know what? I _like_ "kiddie" games. If I want a FPS or a sim or a wargame or a racing game, I'll play one on my PC. If I wanna shoot stuff, smack people around, or play a platformer, I fire up the game console.

Zelda only exists on the GC. Mario, Wario, Starfox, Metroid, Kirby, etc.

Yeah, they're "kiddie". But they're fun.

When I was faced with the choice of only ONE system, I got the PS2. When the GC price dropped, I picked one up.

I will never own an XBOX. There's just no point, since my PC is about 10 times faster/better already, and the XBOX has only been out less than 2 years. *shrug*
