    At a crossroads regarding which console to get....

    I have the choice between picking up a mini-ps2 and get a pre order of san andreas

    OR

    pick up a gamecube bundle with prime and paper mario and get a pre order of prime 2


    i dont want both. So now my questions is which one should i pick? I have thought about the games coming out for both systems, and i just can't make up my mind. No way to choose both either.


    Any advice??

        But PS2 has SOCOM II... You HAVE to want THAT game also!

        GC is horrible with sports games. I'm assuming that he has an Xbox though. So he'll be buying his sports games on Xbox.

        Unless you like the kiddie games (not saying that's all GC has) then go with PS2.

            You already have an XBox so your sports games are covered.

            Is the PS2 basically for GTA? If that is the case than I think the Cube is a no brainer. The first party games are the best around. I know you have been gaming for a long time and playing the old favorites in the new incarnation is great. I am currently hooked on Paper Mario 2, The Pikmin series is great, and Metroid Prime is one of, if not the best, games of this gen.

            If I was in your situation I would go with the Cube. Luckily I have all three and have no need to make such a decision

                        you know, funny thing though. I originally had a ps2, and when it started giving me disc errors, i traded it in for an xbox. I also had a gamecube and then later traded it in when after i saw that much wasnt coming out for it.

                        And you are right, the ps2 would be specifically for gta. I tried not to see any info onthis game, but i just had to check out the music, and since wednesday i havent been able to stop looking at screenshots and movies. The GC though has paper mario and prime 2 looks awesome. I played and got about 3/4ths through the original prime, and 3/4ths through windwaker. I guess what i am trying to say that i am familiar with both systems already, which makes it even harder. I find myself having a hard time picking up a ps2 just for GTA, but it IS gta; catch 22 i guess.

                        after working 55 hours this week, my brain is fried and if i am not careful i might be picking up both, but i feel that is not the right thing to do.

                        oh well, i am just rambling now.

                            I assume you have xbox, so eventually SA is going to get ported over. I can tell you Metroid Prime is an all-out masterpiece, Halo is the better game Metroid is the better expirience. Just don't play it like a FPS and be patient with it and you'll be fine. If you aren't into adventure games though the PS2 option is the best fit. And don't worry about the kiddy talk, any mature person can look beyond that.
