Every REAL gamer I talk to says one of two things:
"I got the X-Box because it's not better now, but it will be in about half a year."
"I got the PS2 because of all the cool games out for it right now."
And then there are lemm...er, people who just see Mario and Link and fork over two hundred bucks, no matter how poor the associated games may be. (And regardless of the fact that Mario isn't even anywhere to be seen.)
Games I can recommend on the PS2:
Bunches. GTA3, GT3, Final Fantasy X, four or five more I can't remember right now.
Games I can recommend on the X-Box:
Halo, Project Gotham Racing, Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey, Mad Dash, DOA3, a couple more I can't think of.
Games I can recommend on the Gamecube:
Pikmin, Super Smash Brothers 2, ummm...
Oh. And GameCube won't play DVDs.
And the discs are midgets. And we all know how evil midgets really are...
