PS2, Xbox, Gamecube?
What's it gonna be folks? If we were in fantasyland and everone wanted one of these consoles and there was enough for everyone to get and you had loads of cash to get it, which one would it be?

Other...PC...now that Halo is officially coming out for the PC, the Xbox lost all interest for now. PS2 has Devil May Cry and GT3, which are both awesome games. Haven't dived into anything else yet. Gamecube actually looks like the sleeper hit in the console world. Nintendo just needs to let developers release more mature titles for it and it'll rule the market.

I'd take them all... But at the moment I'd take the PS2 because I just love driving games and Gran Turismo 3 is one of the best.Comment

I'd take ‘em all too, but at the end of the day it’s down to titles. The Xbox is v. nice though, I friend of mine is developing a title for it at the moment and it looks great!
I think I''ll be buying a set of Japanese controllers though the US/European ones are HUGE! I’m 6’6”, with big hands and I find them uncomfortable to hold.Chris BlakeComment

I guess I should have been more specific. I meant "other" as another console. I wanted to keep PC's out of this.

Mmmm... local store had enough XBoxes to fill their preorders, but not enough DVD remote controls. Hasn't anyone told these console idiots that their shiny new toy can't REALLY play DVD's like a set-top box?
Gotta love it. I've seen videos from a PS2. It's laughable, really. I'm not imagining the XBox to be much better... unless Microsoft licensed a nice copy of PowerDVD to ship with each unit.

I picked up an Xbox for the kids for Xmas. If I can get the kids out of the house for a couple of hours, I might set it up to get a sneak peek.

Halo is very nifty. Project Gotham Racing is also very nifty.
Other than that, it's the usual melange of horrible sports titles and horrible fighting titles and horrible miscellaneous titles.

On a bit of a tangent, one of the hardware sites has already taken an X-Box apart for dissection.
