I personally own a XBOX and a PC - but the pc is extremely nuts, the date that it was built says 250, 000 BC.

First off, Xbox is not almighty. Second off, PC owns all. Without PCs, there wouldn't even be Xboxes. It's useful for so many things other than games, too, huh? Like reaching this forum  Third off, GameCube would have been my second choice. Fourth off, PS2 would have been my third choice. Fifth off, if Xbox were the only choice, I wouldn't have voted  |

XBox is fine, and the PS2 has some good ones.
But the Gamecube has Metroid Prime and Wind Waker. And the PC has Starcraft and Warcraft III. So very hard to choose. I think I'll choose Gamecube and forever wish I would've choosen PC.
Then again, the Gameboy Advanced SP is really great too.

I just modded my PS2 so a whole new world of crazy Japanese import games that will never see a US release opened up. So I have to vote PS2.
It's never crashed like my PC. My PC is for graphics making anyways =P

That's an unbiased poll isn't it? "There's the Gamecube, the PlayStation 2, the PC, or the God of all systems the almighty XBox which also happens to be God of the sun!"
For my pick... GameCube + Game Boy Player = ;D

....I really hate fanboys that think the console they have is "THE BESTEST CONSOLE EVR!!!11oneone11!!".
Er, Gamecube, though.
Xbox and PS2 are also really great consoles.
PC? Eh, because the fact that PC users always make fun of the Macintosh (I use a Macintosh), it would be my last choice. Why they use personification (i.e. "Macs r so0o0o0 gay!!1") to clarify their point that PCs are better than Macs is beyond me.
Macintosh did support some great games, though.

A Macintosh IS a PC (Personal Computer). I think you mean IBM in your comments (or whatever the base system is called).  And I don't use "Macs r so0o0o0 gay!!1" or even anything close to it when I claim that they are better than Macs. I base my selection on the basis that there's more of a selection than Macs have, and more customization of the system. Oddly enough, even though Gamecube is in a similar situation, at least they redeem themselves by having great titles that make the system worth getting. While I do see some functions and situations that a Mac would be better for, I'm not IN one of those situations, so I'm sticking with my current stytem. It's better and more flexible for what I want it to do, and that's what's most important, isn't it? |

If you're going for games, then the PC (which I think is what the IBM stuff is normaly called) is what you want. The Mac has a much smaller gaming library. I have a PC because it's what I'm used to and everything I have works for PCs. However, the Mac's are better at animation/drawing programs and they are much harder to crash then PCs (something that's really getting to me at the moment ...)
I've never really seen any point into having a huge war between computer users. Both are fine systems. I just can't afford two computers.

Yes, you guys bring up good points.
...And, that's all I have to say...

I use a Mac at school and yeah the Mac is a good system for graphics. But some of them just get reeeeeeeeeally slow. But they don't crash. I think that's strange because since I'm used to working on a PC, I save my work every five minutes anyways.
Has anyone had their game console/system crash? I've never had one go bonkers on me.

Sometimes, a game would freeze up when I'd use my Action Replay.
My Action Replay disc got shattered, though...

Well latley my computer has been crashing every five-ten minutes, but that's a different story.
Let's see ... my Super Nintendo got stuck once (can't remember what game), and I beleive the Gamecube game Rouge Squadrian 2 froze up on me twice. Other then that, the only weird thing ever happening with my systems is the sound skipping a bit with Eternal Darkness.
Though I do remember when the current generation game systems came out, at my Target store the X-Box was crashing all the time. Ironicaly, one of my friends who worked at the electronic department ended up getting a job from Microsoft to go around and fix store display X-Boxes.

Does it just refuse to read discs?
