what do you think is better?
gamecube or x box?
what are the advantages of either one of them and what do you think is the price range for each?

Gaming Consoles....
Xbox is made by Microsoft and gamecube is by Nintendo if I'm not mistaken..

I heard Xbox won't be making money for a long time, it has like a 800 mhz processor, 128 megs of ram, and a geforce3 style video card.

I also heard some people in japan I think it was, figured out how to put linux on the xbox and turn it into some good little servers! only 299!

Yeah and everygame on the xBox will get ported/hacked over to the pc, so no reason to even waste your money on this thing. With Sony just dumping 125Mil into squaresoft you can kiss goodbuy any chance of a real rpg on any console other then ps2. Gamecube will throw out pokemon and they will rake in the cash just like they do with all their systems. XBox will have a harder time I think.....but with MS behind it, it should do fine. There is room for all 3, just going to depend on what you want to play.
I am more interested in the Sega Sports/EA Sports games and seeing who comes out on top on that end.

but don't you think that you would be able to easily hack xbox and maybe able to play games from ps2 and gamecube on it? do you think this might happen, like on dreamcast, you can play ps games

well since the writing will be more like PC games there should be a lot ported over but they are still as tough to do as a PS2 game
ya should have put PS2 in there
it will still be a viable box
the nintendo is a cartoon type game as Nintendo tends to make mroe kiddy games where xbox and PS2 will (is) going after a bit older crowd

there was a good write up on gamespot about the writing of these games etc...

me I am not sure I think i will stcik to my PS2 and my PC till the xbox is 2nd gen ;)
