now with siligoose's news that xbox won't do progressive scan i'm for sure leaning towards nintendo's gamecube. one of my co-worker's friends is an xbox game developer and he says that everyone in his shop is getting a gamecube and a few are getting both, but none are getting just an xbox. he said that where a ps2 might have a character model at about 1500 polys, an xbox would have it at about 3500 polys, and the gamecube would render it at about 7000 polys. now of course this is just a generalisation, but he says that the gamcube outperforms the xbox in all categories. now if only nintendo could release some more mature games they'd have me for sure.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. -

While interesting, that's certainly contrary to virtually every published opinion.he says that the gamcube outperforms the xbox in all categories.
That said, I don't think it really matters which box is more powerful. They're all so close (PS2, Xbox, & GameCube) that the average gamer will never be able to tell the difference.

An easy decision is to get both.
The Game Cube is for the kids, While the X-Box is for Dad. Both are on Pre-order.
Bing,,Go ahead and get the PS2..Katherine would enjoy it too,,remember it also plays the original Playstation games which are cheap and titles are in abundance..

which ever looks best on an HD Widescreen gets my cash, which already deletes PS2 which the Dreamcast with a VGA adapter blows away

Thanks Matt!
There doesn't seem to be a lot of Nintendo games I'm interested in. Everything I want to play is on PS2
Trev, I like your ability to problem solve .... Just buy all 3 :B

Biohazard does look very good indeed. I loved the RE series on Playstation. I'm still up in the air about a new platform. I guess my old Playstation and Dreamcast will have to hold me over.

Got one today...some random observations:

We've all seen the huge box by now. Today was the first time I held anything more than an empty Xbox package.
HEAVY!
This thing weighs as much as a low-end receiver.

I contemplating this at this point, just because I'm getting cold feet.
The Box does not have any main draw games as Sili had noted, and I'm a bit put off at how the specifications have changed since pre-order date.
The specification change I can sort of live with, however,... -
Ok, it's Game Cube. Seriously, I thought about adding a new system, as our PS1 and 64 Nintendo are obviously aging. I would like to see a layout of features, benefits, performance comparisons, software futures, capabilities, etc...
First, in reading tonight, I hear that even though the... -
