Lemme fan the flames of the fanboy holy war.

Get a Gamecube

pros
1) cheaper
2) better graphics than the PS2
3) better good game/bad game ratio
4) lots of fun games
5) now bundled with the Gameboy Advance player = lots MORE fun games to play (if you can handle the graphics downgrade)

cons
1) smaller library than either the Xbox and the PS2

I got a GC and I've enjoyed it. The only reason I might buy an XBox revolve around the games either coming out for it or already out for it.

Doom 3
Half-Life 2
SW:Knights of the Old Republic

Those are the 3 big ones. I'm tired of the constant upgrades to my PC. I figure it's cheaper to buy an XBox if I want to play Doom3 and HL2 when they come out than it is to upgrade my Duron-850/GeForce400MX so it can run those games.

Do they still rent consoles at Blockbuster or Hollywood video? If they do, rent each one and see which one you like best.
