Ok, now that both systems are released who got a GCN and who got an Xbox? I didn't get any of them because I'm sticking with my PS2 for the time being but my friend got a GCN today. We stayed up all night then drove to Target at about 7:30 and stood in line waiting to get one (only waited 20 min). Got into the store, he stood in line while I went to pick up the accessories (I got the last RFU adapter ) and then we drove around to other stores to check out the lines. I told him to get his GCN out and hold it up to the window of the car, pointing and laughing at the people standing outside of Toys 'R' Us and Best Buy (because those stores didn't open until 11 and it was only 8:30 and we had ours already lol).

Anyway, about the Gamecube...that thing is TINY! The controller is also VERY confortable, I consider it the best controller ever actually. And for the graphics...they're amazing, he got the Star Wars Rogue Leader game and I am blown away by the detail and how the explosions look!

As for Xbox, did anybody actually get one of these or have any interest in it? Personally I don't see any games that I want for it past December so I'm not really interested in it. I also noticed that the controller for the XBox seems to break easily because in stores I've noticed the control stick was broke on ALOT of the stands (I'm not sure if this is being done deliberately or a defect with the controllers).

Anyway...I consider 2001 the best year for gaming ever.

I would go with the xbox , a friend of mine got it last week i think , and he told be that the graphics are extra smooth , he said something similar at those in the film FINAL FANTASY ,

so i don't know they are quite expensive right now , so I think I would stick with my PC for now with my 3dfx Voodoo 5 64 mb , witch isn't that bad .

*Snicker*
I can deal with 4/5 of the graphics that xbox has, to have a game cube.
Microsoft may make good hardware, but that's not what I care about. Nintendo knows what they're doing. I think the xbox is going to fail, actually. It's designed for the mature gamer, so they put out all that crazy violent shit like Max Payne.. but who needs to drop another500 bucks when they have a perfectly good PC?
That's why you need a GameCube. That thing is going to be the king of 4xMulitplayer. Smash Brothers? Ohoho baby! Mario Kart?..well..bad example. plus Resident Evil, Mario Sunshine, Zelda..what am I missing?
Nintendo rulez, Microsoft droolz.

Yeah personally I would choose GC. Nintendo has awesome developers and WILL make many, many great games. Im going to try and not buy one for as long as possible, but Ill prolly cave eventually. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if Halo is one of the only good games on Xbox, but who knows, Microsoft could buck the American video game system curse. Or they could choke to death because they made a gigantic VCR sized cheap computer. I think Nintendos business model is awesome. I honestly dont get the set top box thing. I have a ps2 b/c of GT3 and love it, but i dont know when people decided you need a HD and the ability to rip MP3s onto a system. It just makes it expensive, and takes emphasis off the GAMES. This is where nintendo knows what they are doing. GC is cheap, loads quickly, has beautiful graphics, and a controller that isnt a piece of shit...I also dont think everone should start ignoring the ps2, its harder to program for, but that doesnt mean much, except that the games will just look better and better as time goes on. Plus Sony has been developing a Halo killer for awhile now, so Microsoft may not even have that on the ps2...peace/

waiting for my copy of GTA3 to arrive, i caved, but its all for the better...mmm running from the cops......

*rubs his hands in anticipation*
I want that thing now!!!!!

not only that, they apparently ARE crap too, people are talking about how you have to order the Japanese controllers just to have something decent.

and dont forget: Perfect Dark 2(or whatever it will be called) Rare always drops the bombs...
