Well considering this is an XBOX forum, your PROBABLY gunna get ALOT of Xbox votes:)

Anyway, i think you should go with Xbox because: (a)its way better than gamecube for ALL the reasons you can think of (b)Xbox LIVE looks incredible (c)the games your getting on Xbox, I think, you'll enjoy more than the ones your getting on Gamecube.

Good luck with your decision dude.

xbox, coz its the most powerful on earth, i got it on launch, its got a gr8 online plan, brilliant games. get gamecube if u are 10 years old or under. xbox games are gonna kick ass and the graphics are gonna improve wen they start using CGi to make xbox games. this is alredt in development. if you have seen spiderman, the movie, the part where spiderman is swinging from building etc, thats all done with CGi, it looks damn real right? well Devs are starting to use that technology on XBOX games...so if i were u...get the best console....xbox.
u can also rip music onto and listen to it while u play games, it has 256 audio channels! fully supports dolby 5.1 and has a hard drive! what more can u ask for?:D
xbox rules man, and its here to stay!

OH BY THE WAY!! on the long run u are actually SAVING money by buying the XBOX. because it has a built in CAble Modem, and a built in HARD DRIVE! and u dont have 2 spend money buying memory cards etc.
but, if u get gamecube and they release a hard drive, thats gonna cast u alot, then if they release a modem for gamecube, u will have to purchase that also. so if u think about it, xbox is pretty cheap for what its got. Microsoft take a $150 loss on every xbox sold.

Wrong there buddy, it has a built-in ethernet port and not a cable modem.

cable modem, ethernic port. they both allow you to play online. the point i was making is that u dont need to buy n e new hardware to go online with xbox.

From what i've seen and read , Max payne is supposed to be excellent . Legends of Wrestling also seems to be good , not excellent , but not an embarresment to anyone's game collection. :confused:

Yes, but Max Payne is a port that looks as good as the PC version, if not better.

Sorry to dissapoint you Nintendo fanboys , but i got my X-Box today , with Legends of Wrestling , Max Payne and Spider-man , and i am delighted with the three of them ! . I think L.O.W is HIGHLY underated , it is really playable and a lot of fun , the people who think it is crap take it too seriously ! . Max Payne , as i'm sure you all know , is excellent . I had previously played it on my friends PS2 , and the X-Box version is SOOO much better !. And Spider-man , also great ! .
I am very happy with my purchase and am now officially an X-Box fanboy ! :cool:

get an xbox.

so far halo has been the only extraordinary first party game for me (maybe rallisport too), but by the end of 2002, there should be so many AMAZING XBox only games, that you'll laugh at the thought of getting a gcn.


just check out the list of games on my sig. Most of those are Only on XBox.
