    Default sell me on a system

    So, I feel like I might buy a gaming system. Which should I get? I definitely want some sprots games, but all the systems have those. Otherwise, I like Zelda games, and FF games, and weird stuff. I don't like games like Halo or Time Splitters, etc, so that really won't affect my choice. So sell me on a system. All I really care about is the quality of games, and the fact that gamecube is cheaper gives it a leg up.

    Gamecube. It's more fun. It has the sports games, yes, but it probably does them the worst. I'm currently playing Madden on the gamecube and it hogs almost an entire 251 block memory card to save a franchise.

    Still, it has all the Mario, Zelda, and Metroid games that you can't live without. It is also cheaper and looks cooler.

    yea, but I have a DVD player, I have a ps1, I have a PC, and I care nothing at all about first person shooters.

    From your choices, I'd go with PS2. Mostly because it is backwards compatible with PS1, so your total game library is very large. Plus, you can get a whole bunch of the FFs on it.

    He said he has a PS1, so why would backward compatibility matter?

    The only disadvantage to the gamecube I can see with your preferences is not much Final Fantasy and sports games take big memory cards.

    is Crystal Chronicles any good?

    I'm not so interested in X or X-2, and I can play 11 on computer if I so desire. 12 might be good, though.

    PS2 is good for RPGs, Disgaea is awsome and I've heard good things about Phantom Brave and La Pucelle. Zone of the Enders is also very good.

    I did like Crystal Chronicles, though I haven't beaten it (since I'm lazy).

    Grab a GC. Gamecube has the most exclusive titles that you won't find anywhere else, and it's games library contains some of the most innovative titles of this generation. There's some solid (though not spectacular) sports games in there, but Nintendo really shines in the adventure and party genres, with games that will charm and thrill you from beginning to end.

    For a person with your tastes, there's no better option.

    If you enjoy playing strategy games and first person shooter (and have the money to spare), buy a PC. ^^

    If you like unoriginal and violent games, buy a Playstation 2.

    If you love original, fun, unique and beautiful games, buy a Gamecube!

    I'm so proud of you all^_^
    No one has said or voted Xbox yet! YAY!
    hehe, i just don't like xbox...

    get anything but that lol... I think you'd be good with a PS2... its definantly a good price range... and has more games for it.

    a nice second choice is gamecube.
