Quote:Please elaborate. What "horror stories" and why is the Gamecube not worth the money?
IMO - Gamecube is not worth the money because, if you are going to spend that much on a platform, you minds well spend it right... PS2 comes with DVD player, if you dont already have a DVD player this can be very important. Gamecube of course does not, I realize its cheaper but I have played both, and the problem with gamecube I found is that it doesn't have enough games, now as I mentioned PS2 has thousands and thousands more games than both gamecube and xbox. I generally get bored of a new game after about a month, and I find that old games can be just as fun as new games, as long as you have not played them before.
as for the horror stories I have heard about xbox, well for one... something like 50% of the first xboxs to be released had a bug where the cdtray wouldn't open... My friend bought an xbox and there was no controller in the box... (he went down to walmart and they wouldn't give him one at first, he had to fill out some forms and stuff, took a while.) I have also heard some friends say that the games often freeze and simply lose all their saved data...
I also beleive you have to pay extra to get the DVD player for xbox, I may be wrong though.
