| It's...................
Gee Man, How many times to we need to have this discussion.
Not X-BOX. MicroSHAFT gets enuff money as it. And so far, all the games that I am interested in playing with on X-Box have come out for PC.
- Halo, SW:KOTOR, SW:KOTOR II (2005)
It's 50-50 between PC and PS2.
PS2 has more of the games that I am interested on playing in a console environment. Like RPGs, Racing Games, Platform, Light Gun Game,
As for PC, it for all my other games. FPS, War & Stragegy, MMOLRPGs.

| PCs are good machines for gaming - but they cost a fortune, and, by the nature of the beasts coders have to design games for compatability and not performance. Say, the playstation - coders were new to coding for the machine and so the games didn't psu hthe machine to the limits, but at the end of it's life the games looked far better down to a lot more experience of the machine. On PCs, coders don't have a specific set of chips to code for like with the consoles, and aren't given a lot of time to optimise their knowledge of PC coding for the system specs they're coding for as a new standard of CPU and graphics card and all their drivers etc come out every year. I don't know if I'm explaining this right, does anyone know what I'm getting at? |

XBOX = The best console system out to date. Great online play (XBOX Live), Awesome system power (best of all 3), Stability (discs rarely stop working as they tend to do alot on PS2), and a new low price. If you want a great console, you can never go wrong by getting an XBOX.
The PS2 still has a little bit of life in it.
The Gamecube - well, lets just say it brings back those Dreamcast memories of a system that tried at first, but whithered away before long.. | PS2 has amazing online play... and 95% of it is free... unlike x-box.
And it keeps getting better

| My preference for gaming is my GameCube and then after that ismy PC. Game Cube is simplier and you don't have to pay $200.00 to get a new graphics card so that you can run the game with good graphics. With Game cube you just have to put the game in and play, plus out of all the consoles, Game cube has the best graphics and they always will have the best grpahics and technology. |

| the reason you pay $200 for a new graphics card is that a PC is an EVOLVING platform. it is completely scalable and you can upgrade as much as you want to or as much as your budget allows to.
I prefer xbox over ps2 because the online play is easier and more stable I feel... since I barely had the time to play I sold both my ps2 and xbox though |
