Come with me my child, it is time I taught you in the ancient ways of sarcasm.

Personally the size of the thing doesn't bother me in the slightest because it doesn't stop it from doing what it's supposed to.

The only reason that people might have a problem with the size is if they, I don't know, were trying to stick it in their arse or something.

Well, the good thing about the size is that you'll never lose it.......

I was referring to my post old chap :)

The Gamecube isn't ugly, but I think it's almost certainly an acquired taste, mine has grown on me since I got it last friday that's for sure but it's not quite part of the family. Yet.

Halo 2 will be amazing. :)

d/l now. :)

Halo2 looks good. I'm not buying an X-Box for it, though. I'll wait till the PC port shows up. Whenever that is... :doubt:

Oh joy. Halo2. I'll rush right out and.. well actually I won't. Another crappy mindless FPS. @wheee.

Now, back to the real point of my reply: What ****wit buys a game console for the way it looks or the size of the box? Get a grip.

What I can't get over is how I thought the original Halo was pushing the XBox to its limits - and here is Halo 2, just gobsmacking in visual quality, running just as nicely.

Btw mikhael, to be honest, I can't agree with it being a crappy mindless FPS. The most mindless FPSs I know would either be MDK or Serious Sam, and both of those are quite fun to play. Halo has a pretty interesting storyline in comparison and the gameplay is... well, it's nothing like Civilisation, but it's not meant to be. I wouldn't call it mindless, though. :)

He likes those deep shooters. You know, the ones where you're still running around shooting everything in sight, but the bad guys are, like, quoting Shakespeare and stuff.:lol:

Oh, right...

*running around shooting everything in sight, guns down a nearby bad guy*
Bad Guy: Mother, he has killed me!
Bad Guy #2: What, you egg! Young fry of treachery!

I love Macbeth.

Mike just doesn't like FPS, and when you don't like something, everything of that kind is crap, you know ;)

well, I bought an Xbox not because it's big, or black and green ( and I like black and green :p ), but because it has cool games ( it has crappy games too, but that's another matter ), games that I won't find on another console

[color=66ff00]*bad japanese impersonation* Ha ha! look at the coffee table!! ^^;;

Anyhow I think the gamecube is quite asthetically pleasing (provided it's the right colour), the PS2 is slightly confusing though. I can't figure out if they designed the hardware around the case or the case around the hardware. It's damn unconventional anyway.

I've got a platinum Cube. Completed Zelda yesterday - best use for seven straight days I ever found.

To be honest, the only games I expect to buy are Zelda, F-Zero and maybe Mario and Metroid. Billbox fans can say what they like, but Halo and its inevitable sequel are generic sci-fi shooters and nothing more. Nintendo pwnz joo.

definitely get Metroid Prime. I've played it (thouroughly) and it's one of the best games I've ever played plus it has plenty of nostalgia for Metroid fans
