**DarthRaphael** · 12-08-2001, 08:44 PM

I have a GameCube, but I have to wait for Christmas to play it. I'm a long-time nintendo fanboy.

I have PS2 and Gamecube. Personally I like Gamecube better cause I'm a Nintendo fanboy but I really enjoy PS2 as well.

**chrome_dome** · 12-08-2001, 11:08 PM

most of the reason i like the ps2 is cuz its backwards compatible and and can play dvds

My fav console? the Sega megadrive. Sure it doesn't have the speed of a p3 733 or a 6.4Gb bandwidth or a 300mhz GP like the X-box.

However it brings me back to the good old megadrive/snes days where grpahics and great sound didn't matter. If the game was good you played it.

**Shredder** · 01-19-2002, 11:13 PM

PS2 is definately the best out there.

**Ratking** · 01-22-2002, 07:03 PM

no way Shred. The Xbox will dominate anything, if its got Microsoft and Nvidia behind it then end of story. Thats the biggest sofware company in history and the richest and the best graphics company which is way ahead of the pack.

PS2:
CPU = 300Mhz Toshiba
Graphics processor = 150mhz EE
Memory = 36M
Mem bandwidth = 3.2G/sec
Polygon performance = 80 million ( i can't rember the exact correct me if im wrong)

X-box:
CPU = 733(guess you could say its a celeron type, with only 128KB of L2 cache)
Graphics processor = 300Mhz X-chip (microsoft/nvidia)
Memory = 64M
Mem bandwidth = 6.4G/sec
Polygon performance = 300 million/sec

how you can work out the PS2 is better i really don't know, the nintendo gamecube is even better than the PS2.

But you have to remember that the PS2 was out a long time before everything else was, so thats why other things are better. In auzzie the X-box isn't even out.

i just wanna post again as i have read what i have written and it looks like im trying to put crap on Shredder. And thats not what i want to do. So Shredder as i wrote that i wasn't directing it all at you but just other people that may be interested.

no hard feelings man?

**Shredder** · 01-22-2002, 09:00 PM

No problem, it's good that people have different opinions about stuff.

In my opinion, well, maybe XBox (and even Gamecube) are more powerful machines, but it's PS2 which has all the great games (at least so far) and the best controller (good for fighting, sports, RPGs, just about anything out there.) To me, it's the gameplay that counts more than anything (including graphics, not that the PS2's graphics are shabby in any way-just play a game like Twisted Metal Black.) Until XBox or GC show me something I really want to buy, I'm sticking with my PS2.

that i will agree on. Look at what happened when sony one the first war. The N64 was faster but because PS had way to many good games and just way too many games in general it became more popular.

Favorite console is GameCube because of the games and I can depend on Nintendo to get the greatest games. But PEOPLE, get a PC! These consoles are becoming small computers, so just get a computer before everyone has one. All the games are leading to PC.

coolmike1586 · 02-21-2002, 07:23 PM

i agree wit speed

~~SPEEd~~ · 02-22-2002, 02:55 PM

That's the way it's going to be.

RaphRockz · 02-22-2002, 11:21 PM

SPEEd is right

coolmike1586 · 02-23-2002, 01:12 AM

he has an excellent point!

RaphRockz · 02-23-2002, 01:15 AM

My fav console anyways is the cube, I was raised and I still play nintendo. Sony doesnt have the legend of zelda.

coolmike1586 · 02-23-2002, 04:03 PM

AMEN!

RaphRockz · 02-23-2002, 04:07 PM

Anyone hear or see Sonic going to work at nintendo?

coolmike1586 · 02-23-2002, 04:08 PM
