    I was thinking of getting a new console soon. I have a PS2 and I was thinking of maybe a gamecube because of some of the titles but there are some great X-Box deals available so I'm not sure. So whats the ups of an X-Box and of course the best titles?

    If you're thinking of buying a new console, its really all down to the games. Here you can compare games for both Gamecube and Xbox (just single out each console in the platform box and increase results). These rankings are based on the average score given by numerous media outlets.

    Hopefully this will help. Personally, I would go with a Gamecube, it has a very nice library indeed (The Xbox's seems a little incomplete). Then again, if you're want to play online, you should go with Microsoft's offering.

    Splinter cell is amazing.
    Brute force has really good co-op. (up to 4 players)
    Kung fu chaos is a brilliant party beat 'em up, best played with 4 humans.
    Jet set radio future is an infinitely cool game.
    Another console-selling feature of the xbox is the ability to burn music to the hard drive and play it in games. (not all games support this)
    Dolby digital 5.1 support if you have the sound system. (well worth investing in if you don't have and are getting an xbox)

    i just picked myself up an xbox over a gamecube for myself for christmas

    went to 2 places, GAME and gamestop and they both had nice deals

    GAME; xbox,1 controller,midtown madness3, halo,mohaa,crash bandicoot racing or some rubbish for €210

    GameStop; xbox,1 controller,midtown madness3, halo, 1 more cheap game that i cant think of the name ofnd a dvd remote for €209 with the same value in vouchers

    so i stuck my two fingers up at GAME and went with Gamestop, cos frankly those 2 other games that were on offer wernt at all pleasing to me.

    what i found was funny was that in the GAME store their own posters were saying it was halo,midtownmadness3, project gothem racing 2 and some other in my eyes "better" game than what the cashier adamantly told me

    think ill go for soul calibre 2 for my next game
