    I have a Playstation right now and I am satisfied with what it has given me over the past 3-4 years. Now that the PS2 is out, I want to buy it, but It looks like I'm a bit late. I've heard a lot of good stuff about the XBox from Microsoft and the GameCube from Nintendo, while I've heard stuff that's not that great about the PS2. I heard the PS2's graphic's are just a tad bit better than Dreamcast, and the only reason you'd want to buy it instead of a Dreamcast was because you get a free DVD player along with it. My birthday's coming along (February 25) and, I wanna know what do you guys think will be the best console to buy come next summer? Here's your choices (YOu can add some if I don't have them):

    1.PS2
    2.GameCube
    3.XBox
    4.Dolphin (or is that the gamecube?)

    BTW, I meant to put Summer 2002.

    I think Dolphin was the original name for GameCube.

    I would wait for the Cube. Nintendo always has the best games. PS2 has quantity of games, but Nintendo has quality games.

    If the only advantage of the PS2 is the DVD player built-in, then I would wait for the better graphics capabilities of the GameCube. Of course, I already have a DVD player, so I really don't need another one.

    Of course, I imagine I won't be buying any of them (well, I did just remember that I have kids. I may end up with one of 'em after all at some point.)

    I'm no big fan of Micro$oft, but the Xbox is gonna be totally sweet. It will blow both the PS2 and the Gamecube right out of the water.

    I really don't see what the big rush to upgrade is.

    I had the SNES, and I waited till to see which system was better, which was the PS, so I got one when it was MUCH cheaper(i think they were around 300 when they first came out).

    I really don't see that much of an upgrade in the graphics to justify shelling out a huge amount of money for a new system right now. PS is still cool, and when I get bored with the games I have now, it only takes $20 to get something new.

    I'll wait to see which system comes out with the better games and which system actually lasts *cough*Saturn*cough* before I shell out good money for some of this over-priced stuff.
