Hmm...This is a tough one...
what is better? PS2 or Xbox?...also, what is better, A laptop or a Normal Computer ( I dont know what theyre called). also...what is a really good laptop, that can connect to the internet from your house, but not need any cords, and able to be say, 100 or meters away? (thats a question for mainly the aussies out there)...
and whats a really fun game for the ps2?
PS2 vs XBox? Depends on your gaming style. PS2's mostly for light gamers compared to the XBox. PS2's got more racing simulations. And PS2 is more fun for offline multiplayer play, though XBox is the master of online multiplayer play. Graphically, the box is better. However, I've heard that the GameCube is the most fun of all of em even if the games are a bit... wierd. But IMHO, consoles are lesser versions of PCs, so I'd say, get a PC . IMHO, the good thing about a console is that you can play with friends in the same room as you. So, I'd go for the PS2. Good games? Get a multiplayer racing one(tons of em), Quake, WWE Smackdown, or Tekken.
As for laptops vs desktops, I'd go for desktops. Depends whether you need the portability. Besides, a desktop for the same power as a laptop is much cheaper. And much easier to fix/build as well. If you need to transfer lotsa big files to your friend's house or something, get a USB drive...

Gamecube is terribly under rated over here. You have classics like Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Super Monkey Balls 1 and 2. The first is better though. Burnout 2 is a stunner, as is Super Smash Bros Melee.
PS2: You have GTA 3 and Vice City, Hitman, Half Life, Quake 3 Revolution, WWE Smackdown, Metal Gear Solid 2, Final Fantasy 10 (the best version after number 7 in my opinion)
X-box is basically a PC. Apart from Halo, you might as well get yourself a PC. Although you wouldnt be posting here if you didnt have one

gamewack needs any computer that allows him to see whether capslock is on or not. x)
i personally believe PS2 is the best, mainly because of the games circy listed(espescially vice city). i am partial to halo on the xbox (espescially when you're playing it 8 player), but the controller lets the other games down (it seems as if the box was designed around halo and not vice versa). and, it is fundamentally just a PC. even the graphics card is a variation on an Nvidia PC card (i forget which one). i hate the cube, the controller is awful, the games likewise. it's a kiddy console and i want adult games.
as for laptops vs desktops, i'd say desktops. if you sit on one you don't break it, and you cant drop a desktop down a drain.
Ps2 or Xbox: Ps2 (Arf, if he wants to know if ps2 or xbox is better don't say gamecube retard)
Gamecube is good, cause its got the el classico's like Mario Sunshine, Wind waker, Animal Crossing (it looks retarded but it is somehow fun) I think that the order of best systems is
1.Ps2
2.Gamecube
3.Xbox
Xbox is like a system for ppl how have shit computers and don't wanna upgrade them. Because almost all the games came out for pc (Halo comes out for pc soon with online play wooooot). Ps2 always brings a variety of good games, and is really the only system that has good rpgs.
Laptop or Desktop: Uhhh... I guess it depends on your needs really....
Xbox has better graphics, gameplay and games. But Bill gates nicked most of the games that was to come to PS2 (e.g Munch's oddyse) and Bill gate is a prick and HATE HIM FOR THAT!
Ok, I'm going to explain something, it is impossible for a system to have good gameplay, gameplay is not a fuction of the system, but just the game made for the system. For example, I could make an FPS where there was a two second delay between pressing a button and the action being performed, it wouldn't be the systems fault, it would be my games fault for the crappy gameplay. Same thing with graphics, granted there are some games that look spectacular (Metroid Prime) and ones that look awful (Cubivore) but it's not the systems fault, it's the designers fault. To make it easier, picture TGF or MMF as a game system, it just runs what you tell it to, if you can't make good graphics who are you going to blame, Clickteam? I think not.
I like the gamecube , but i have a ps2 too, i would never buy a the xflop, i hate microsh*t.
I shall go into detail:
PS2: around 300 megahertz cpu, based on the board 7 arcade machine.
Good un’s: lots of games such as the GTA but the PC versions are FAR superior graphically. It can also play dvd’s. Snes based pad.
Bad un’s: Graphical power, its got none X-),
X-box:
Good uns: around 700 megahertz cpu, an geforce 3 (wow! an old graphics card…) an pathetically small hard drive. Storm sound processor as well. Halo (I played a few levels at my mates house, two player co-op and I found it boring, the graphics didn’t impress me either)
Bad uns: Ye olde PC bus architecture gives waste to 700 megs, yes the x box aint that powerful folks, and its been proven. The gamecube has shown more power in tests due to cell processors architecture.
Gamecube:
Good uns: 500 meg cpu, Ati (a real graphics card manufacturer) CPU using cell architecture. IBM helped develope the motherboard using far superior architecture than any console or pc today, very very efficient.
Qaulity games such as Mario Sunshine, who cares if its kiddyish when its DAMN good!. An superb controller by Shigsy, its fits the hand perfectly.
Bad uns: Acclaimed not to have many adult games by Sony lovers, they are obviously biased, or else they would have seen die hard vendetta and the best series of Resident Evil . Badly underrated as Circy said due to biased edjiots in the press.
GC Rules! It is just so small and compact, has great games but I only own two games which are Zelda: Wind Waker (this also counts as two games since it comes with Ocarina of Time) and Starfox Adventures, I've completed Starfox and I don't know if I should take it back or not, I obviousely don't have the reciept any more so I proberly won't get much for it. About £20 I suppose. {angry}
Does anyone else agree that it is the game that counts and not the console it is played on. Each console has its own strengths and weaknesses. We should enjoy games regardless of the console they are on.
Oh chesus! Enough! I hate con-souls... well except for smario! nes, snes, n64, ps, ps2, x-box, GC, MS, SG, GB, GBP, GBA, GBASP, Atari, C64... just to name a few
ugh....

1.Xbox
2.Desktop Computer
The desktop is better because you can have super cable power, huge diskspace and generally better everything. The lappy is usefull for when you need to show off work, or you move around. It depends on wat u need.
------------------
1.Game Cube
2.X-Box
3.Playstation 2
------------------
I think there all pretty good, but i prefer Game Cube by far, the Controller fits into my hand like a glove, they have all the classics that still kick some Major Ass e.g Zelda: WW, Game play is xcellent, GFX are superb. and its not a game that you can beat in a day, Also not Forgetting Metroid Prime which even my Bro (X-Box lover) was amazed at. GameCube doesnt have the most Powerful system but it suits the Players Needs, Compact, Carriable,Nice Controller, and great games. while X-Box goes more of the Good Hardware way, and not putting more effort into there games. All consoles are good, but there is only one and one only...... the NES & SNES .
The Xbox is better than these anti-MS people say, though I agree that it still is a downgraded computer. I'd suggest getting a laptop instead . I heard some of the stuff you can do with it, like custom controllers and the cool stuff you can do online is pretty cool... for a console.
And yes, most of the GC's games are kiddy, but does it matter? I remember something someone said about the purpose of games is to have fun. If you want "adult games", I highly suggest accessing the internet through a desktop for that purpose . It's much better than getting GC: Vice City for an adult game.
And no, I also found Vice City rather... dull. I still prefer Mafia over VC, even if everyone was bragging about how VC was gonna the best game of it's genre ever. And Mafia is available on the PC (though I heard it was going for the PS2 as well).
As for games on the consoles, I'd say PS2 has the largest collection of offline multiplayer games. Via X-Play(you know, that show on TechTV), I hear the X-Box had a few cool games. GameCube has the fun kiddy classics. PS2 may have more adult games, but IMHO, most of em are pretty... boring. I prefer Mario Kart to a Gran Turismo Auto.
