I agree with Soth. :D I love my PS2! I love my computer!

I like my Gamecube.

And the Xbox...it doesn't get much love from me. :D

For real gaming, it has to be either the PS2 or the PC. For straight out fun, the Gamecube wins the day.

Depends each has its own games that they are better at than others... Such as PC best for FPS and RTS games, PS2 best with RPGs and Fighter, GameCube party games, X-Box..... Not sure what games are good with X-Box :S

PC. I can

*Watch TV while gaming
*Use the Internet on the same device, and gaming...2 in 1. Why go out and buy something else that only does 1/2 of that?
*I can't ever seem to get comfortable watching TV outside my computer room unless I'm in a bed, and I can't get comfortable in a bed unless I'm tired.

Does the PS2 still count as a console, since it now runs not only Linux, but
NetBSD as well? Of course, nearly everything with a processor more capable
than a Mr. Coffee has a NetBSD port: "Of course it runs NetBSD...".

I play most of my games on my Xbox. Some games I enjoy are:

Morrowind (60% of my time)
Halo (20% of my time)
Battle Engine Aquila (10% of my time)
Unreal Tournament (10% of my time)

I have played many other games on it:
Azurik: Rise of Perathia
Star Wars: Starfighter
Gauntlet
Baldur's Gate
Bloodwake
...
I have more, but I can't think of them. :/

I also own a GameCube, but that is mostly for my son. He has Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, Defender and Animal Crossing (which I play more than he does).

Halo gets old after a bit (played for 20hours straight against someone)
I mean it is good but not good after that long!
