As I said above, no true game fan would limit themselves. Not to just one console, nor just to a computer.

There are PLENTY of kick-ass games available only on console. Or that are so far down the road for a PC release that it's foolish to wait.

Played Metal Gear Solid 2 on your PC lately? Virtua Fighter 4? NFL 2k2 with 8 players at the same console? Gran Turismo 3? Jet Set Radio Future? Final Fantasy X? Any real gamer denying himself these pleasures probably really isn't a real gamer. And oughtta remove himself from gaming discussions.

Consoles do their type of game very well. PC's do theirs. Denigrating one over the other is close minded.

True; but where in the PC is Final Fantasy X, Pikmin, and such games?

The is no originality on the PC gaming field anymore.
My last console was a Super Nintendo.

My next one will be a GameCube

OPF? Not sure what that is. Do you mean Operation FlashPoint? If so, you're thinking of a completely different game genre. There's nothing in the same catagory on the PC that's the equal of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Maybe if there was a new Need For Speed, but none of the NFS titles equals what GT3 is. There are certainly better driving sims on the PC than on a console (Nascar 2002 & GPL being just 2), but for pure fun racing GT3 reigns supreme. Though I sure would like to see a new NFS done as nicely as the Porsche game but with a more exciting mix of cars.

I suppose if you have trouble paying $50 for a game, you can find cheaper crap for the PC. But I can go out and buy GT3 now for $25. Hell, I can probably find GT2 for $15 and it's STILL a better game than any NFS on the PC. And I can't remember the last game I bought for the PC that cost less that $45.

Hey, it's all OK though. I remember back when I couldn't afford to be buying a buncha console games. I convinced myself that they were all lame and that my computer games ruled and that I didn't need anything else. I'm just happy now that I can experience all of the awesome games that the industry has to offer.

I don't know why people bash each other for owning a certain game system. I have a Gamecube with a little attachable tv and Ps2, and every system before(yes i still have a jaquar and sega cd;)) The reason I don't have a X-box is because of the games. I only reason i buy a system is when it has games that are good or interest me. I will eventually buy a X-box but no anytime soon. Plus the X-box controller is too big All I'm trying to say is buy the system that has the exclusive titles only for it that you like,becuse most 3rd party games come out on all systems.

Anyway a pc comes around the corner to make these games for consoles.

A pc will always outrun a gameconsole

I would not have the time to check out all those other games also

So there will be enough games for the PC to satisfy u a life time.

Maybe enough to satisfy you, but don't speak for me.

Your out-of-hand dismissal of gaming consoles assumes that everyone has your desires or situation. A little self-centered isn't it?

With regard to what to buy PS2, gamecube, X-box - it can only come down to which console will cosistantly give you the games you most want to play for the forseeable future.

You can only look at what is out game-wise already and what's in the pipeline and also how well the console is selling. The console which sells best will be very attractive for developers due to the (much ?) larger sales base. This is the console which will have a steady stream of good games through sheer weight of numbers. The console will be come a cash cow for the company and any thought of replacement will be delayed giving the console a longer life span = more games = more value for money.

A safe bet at this point would be the PS2, however in this day and age of low prices i'm sure the market can support all 3 so hopefully they will all continue to offer something for nearly everyone now and in the future. It's all down to whatever floats your boat.
