I own a PS2 currently. I have all the major games. I like it.
I would like to have an X-Box so I could get Splinter Cell, Halo, Shenmue II, and probably Steel Battalion to join in on the fad.
Gamecube... I'm not entirely interested in. Metroid Prime looks spiffy and Zelda would probably be pretty fun despite the graphics. OMFG I just found out that the gamecube has "MaryKate and Ashley Sweet 16: Licensed to Drive". I MUST GET THIS!

Fuck you, 'Sage. I'm not a fucking moron, I know how to stack inventory.And the ONLY thing I have mentioned is that Microsoft is desperate to sell them, since they AREN'T selling well. As is evident by the various deals that Microsoft themselves offer to EB.
It's fine that you like the games that come out. More power to you. I don't reccomend the Xbox because most of those "Other" games that are coming out for it are cross platform. That doesn't mean that I go around the store to customers and say "OMFG XBOX SUCKS!!!!". I'd be fired if I did. Since I haven't been fired yet, GEE, I must be doing my job right.
I've already sold plenty of Xboxes. Yeah, I can argue for it, using a lot of the same stuff you use. And some stuff you don't know. Xbox live is really nice, seeing as how there isn't microphone support for the 'cube, and hardly any (Yay Socom) for the PS2.
If you want to shoot the shit, I'm all up for debating about which system is the "Omfg splurt best!", but the second you start calling me a moron because a shelf that wasn't designed to hold 500 pounds of console breaks, well, thats when you become an asshole.
You're the moron that stacked the shit wrong, dude. Then blamed it on the consoles, like they stacked themselves, or something. 
Had you anything intelligent to say, or were interested in anything but mindlessly slamming X-Box, you'd not have led by calling it "shit-box" in your very first post.
Oh, yeah: you're oh, so professional and unbiased. Yessiree.
Dick.
And the only good X-Box games are cross-platform, huh? I don't remember seeing Halo or Munch's Oddysee on the other platforms. Perhaps I'm mistaken.
Nor should you confuse the platform with the software, as any idiot should know. If you have a beef with the current library, then you should have the sense to state your reasoning and enter into a polite discussion.
Instead, you chose simply to go on and on about the size of the box, as if that had the slightest bit to do with anything. Which again showcases not only your ignorance, but your bias.
If you want polite discussion in the future, I suggest you start more gently. Or, if you're going to start something, at least come prepared.

X-Box has a Nicktoon Party game! omg!
And being a severe gamer. I would like to say that all 3 systems are great, though since the X-Box doesn't nearly have as large as a market as both Sony and Nintendo, they don't have as many developers as they'd want. Thats the reason it's "failed" and Microsoft is really trying hard on the deals to get them to sell.
It still has it's great games, such as HALO, Knights of the Old Republic. But without big name developers like Square, it's not going anywhere fast. [ 11-24-2002: Message edited by: Skaw ]

Actually, Splinter Cell is due on PS2 as well. Halo... I refuse to play any FPS style game unless I can hook up a keyboard/mouse and do it the REAL way. Steel Battalion looks nice, though

Read sometime, whydontcha?
And for the record, I didn't stack them on the shelves, I was handing them to Matt, a fellow employee, who, by the way, has been working there for two good years, and is the only parttimer who can close the store, when the shelf ripped out of the wall.
And if you claim I was "Mindlessly slamming Xbox", then you've got one hell of a set of blinders on. It's damn big, sure, and they would have done a lot better if they didn't pack it with bloody lead, or anything. 
And they ARE desperate to sell them, as I've said time and time again, and you conveniently ignore, since you can't argue against it.
And perhaps if you want a "polite" debate next time, you shouldn't come in on the second page of a thread and directly insult someone.
Just a thought.
I'd rather pay 160 for one at work, and get a warrentee.

I also don't like it because I put it in my car and my car folded in half 
Then I got a new car and I tried putting the X-Box in my house, but it fell off the countertop and punched a hole through the crust of the earth and now there's a volcanic chimney in my living room.
So then I figured I would take it back, but the combined weight of four X-Box's had sunk the mall so low, when I got to the top of the parking garage, I got scared by all of the bat-winged figures with pitchforks dancing around a bonfire of twisted, disfigured souls.
At that point I realised I had stopped breathing and started again. Then the world was safe once more.
The end!

Diameter of a gamecube disc: 8cm (4cm radius).
Diameter of a xbox/ps2 (dvd) disc: 12cm (6cm radius).
Area of a circle: 2*pi*r^2
Surface area of a gamecube disc plus hole in middle: 101cm²
Surface are of a xbox/ps2 disc plus hole in middle: 226cm²
Both have a 1.5cm diameter (0.75cm radius) hole in the middle, so subtract that (3.5cm²), and you get 98cm² and 223cm² surface areas of the discs, for gamecube and xbox/ps2 respectively.
Anyone who says that gamecube disc with less than half of the surface area of a dvd disc can hold more data than a dvd disc is probably lying right out their ass. [ 11-24-2002: Message edited by: »Waisztarroz« ]

Who cares how much data a disc can hold. We've seen more than 1 case where multi disc games were released

Trust me, when you have to haul systems between houses for LANs, and you dont have a car, XBox is your WORST enemy. I can at least fit a cube in a small bag, or carry it with one hand.

Its game library that's keeping me from considering the XBox, but I do have to admit that the first time I saw it completely I thought to myself "Dear lord, where would I put something that big??"

Yes, but it's hard to have fun when you can't tell what it is you're supposed to be looking at.
And even review magazines.. for as long as there have been Game Reviewers, there has been a score for Graphics. Because graphics are important to the overall fun and feel of the game. If not we'd all still be playing with Pacman-esque graphics.

I concur. Any game that's fun can be made more fun, more stimulating, more entertaining by improving the graphics. It won't make the game not fun, but it improves the experience.
