Why isn't there an "all of the above" option? I hate console wars. Play the good games on the system and you'll never hate a console. Play the bad ones and you'll hate the system. It's as simple as that. I like PC, XBox, PS2, and GC because I play the GOOD games for them.

Gotta say PC. Own everything but an x-box and love them all, but can't beat a good PC for gaming.

Evil Milkman

Out of those four, I'd say PC because it's the only system I have right now. I had a Gamecube, but gave it to my friend for a going away present a while back.

Fremen

So far, my favorite is GameCube.
I haven't played any of the other consoles yet, and the only pc games I've played are some dirt-track racing games and whatever I can download.
I can't seem to get a hang of playing games with a keyboard and I don't know of any real good game-controllers that would handle it all.

PC all the way. The only reason I bought a PS2 was to play FFX.

Mr. Spacemonkey

I voted PS2. Although I would consider my PC pretty kick ass, I have to actually vote for an original console system, seems more fair. That and I just play more games for the PS2.

same, I would say PC but its not for just pure gaming, doesn't seem fair to me so i voted for the Xbox. Some REALLY good xbox live games out there now such as CS, RS6, Crimson Skies, PGR2, Halo2 soon..

mastboy4

no contest, pc takes the cake

Although, before i say anything,
*i know pc's can do everything xbox can, and more, but they cant do it for the same price*

i chose xbox, Not only for its gaming qualities,

xbox is just an all around kickass media entertainment system. with a big, nasty HD, and a modchip, you can do anything.

play every snes, every genesis, lots of n64, lots of PS1, and lots of other SUB-Dreamcast system's games.

play DVDs, DIVX, XVID, MPEG, VCD, WMA, RA, and just about every other video format (with the right codecs, but most are included with xbox media player).

play xbox games (duh)

free online gaming (with tunnelling software (xlink, xbox connect, etc)..)

run linux.. possibilities are endless,
- run a webserver
- run a mailserver
- run a game server
- be the coolest geek on your block

since all xbox software is open based, that means with a lil programming knowledge, you can code your own apps, and tweak the ones available to your hearts desire.

output to optical dolby 5.1, HDTV compatible, S-Video and RCA's.


Now, show me a pc that can do all that for 200 bucks?

Ganguro

your xbox cant do that for 200 bucks either.


i picked the gamecube, im happy with my purchases, though im thinking of picking up a ps2 for all those fun best seller's games for 20 bucks.
Kindom jearts... mmm..

junglistic

CDN prices.

199 for xbox
50 for mod chip?
249 * .65 (conv. factor) = 161.85 USD
it comes stock with 10 gig hd.


If you wanted to put in say, 80gigs.

You can pickup a 7200/2mb cache 80gb for around $89
so, 249 +89 = $338 CDN = $219.70 USD

TinniT

I placed my vote on PC because it is the only thing i've got right now. It does its job, and i really dont have the time to game as I used to back in the days of highschool.

If I had to money to invest, it would be X-box all away. That system is great.

kwoodmex

i got my brand new 120 gig HD for $50 and $35 for my chip, so i only added $85 to my xbox which i paid nothing for. its turned out to be a pretty good deal.

I voted Xbox only because i've been a console gamer since forever, i can safely say i've never played a single video game on a computer. maybe i don't know what i'm missing.

juanvaldes

Horrible choices in the poll.

Mr.Deflok

I choose my PC over the others since it is simply universally better however were there a choice of the Mega-Drive/Genesis my vote would go there. Childhood memories are unbeatable.

zero2

xbox, I have it modded too, 250gb hdd w/ no solder mod chip.

Play dvd's w/out remote, old roms, divx movies.

BulletCatcher

Have to go with the PC.

Expandability, versitility and in general (there are exceptions), much deeper gameplay than anything you'll find on a console.

supafly

I have a PC and a PS2 and I like the PC best. I'am realy into FPS and the PC still is the bestplatform for that.

PSP!! k, it's not out yet, but still...

SiphonX

people are dumb. they spend hundreds and sometimes thousands to buy parts for their 'ultimate gaming rigs'... for that just go out and drop 200 bucks for a console. the games are a lot more reliable, run super smoothly, you don't need to play on your desk, you can just plop on a bean bag chair and play relaxed, and there are no interruptions, such as an unexpected error, an IM window minimizing your game, or the other little interruptions PC's bring w/ them. Buying a 600 dollar PC that has a celeron at 2ghz and buying a console is where it's at. A PC to do work/surf/music/movies and a console to do the intensive gaming.
but anyway... uh, i gotta say PS2, althought the architecture of the Gamecube is quite impressive, that little box is damn powerful.

snes has some of the best games ever


ogre battle is my fav game on it

Mr.Deflok

That's a bloody good point, but I have more respect and love for my PC.

Moskie

I voted PC. PC games tend to be much more interesting and in depth than traditional console games. Add modding communities, ability to patch and tweak, etc...

I gotta ask:

Why? Is there some fundamental, philosophical reason for this? You'd never have fun with a console?

I have to vote for the PC.
I love consoles, but it's the keyboard//mouse that sells me for pc. I just don't have that degree of control with a game pad.

PS2, just because I felt I spent way too much time in the chair playing StarCraft and Diablo 2.

You basically answered your own question with your first sentence. Plus, if Halo is the best game that an XBox has to offer then I know the fucker sucks dick because the game runs like shit on a PC, and the graphics are very very weak. I have a few friends with consoles, and I don't really like any of the games. I only wish I could play Gran Turismo on my PC, but that game won't make me buy a PS2.

Plus I use my PC for everything. So why have something laying around that serves one purpose?

And FPS's suck on consoles.

Lasereth

It's a known fact that the PC version was nothing compared to the XBox version. You can't compare the two. The PC version bogs down 3.2 P4's with Radeon 9800 Pros but runs fine on 800 MHz Durons. It has issues. I've played a good amount of it, and the XBox version has better graphics (AA) and better control.

So we can't have CD-players, calculators, speakers, televisions, VCRs? They all serve one purpose.

Medal of Honor. Red Faction. Halo. GoldenEye. Perfect Dark.

There are plenty of good console FPS. They just lack keyboard and mouse support...that's why PC gamers tend to hate them. No, you can't be as precise as with a keyboard and mouse, but it makes the game more challenging and rewarding. I prefer a keyboard and mouse to games like Battlefield 1942, but some games like Halo are simply played better with a controller.

PC games offer upgradeability, mods, and all kinds of other options, but that doesn't mean console games are inferior. Some of the best damned games the world has ever seen have been on console. I've argued this a hundred times, but I still believe the fundamental biggest advantage that consoles have over PC is reliability. No driver screw-ups, no upgrading the console to play a newer game a year later, no operating system incompatibility issues, no random crashes, just straight up gaming that starts with the press of a power button. Consoles are made for gaming, and they do it damn well. PCs are made for various applications, one of them being gaming, but when ya have a platform that has multiple uses then you're gonna get errors.
