My final straw with the gamecube - Enough is enough

[Gooch]

I've been trying to decide which system to get, since my roommate already has a PS2...it kind of defeats purpose since I can just borrow it...so it's been between the GAMECUBE and the XBOX. I've been reading up on both...and both have faltered due to it looking like they were rushed out to meet that Xmas rush, and not let PS2 go uncompeted with for another year. It looks like both systems are coming out with stuff in this coming year (Zelda, MArio, Mario Kart, Wresltemania) for GAMECUBE..which had me leaning in that direction. But...I can't see spending money on either b/c they have not come out with enough software to warrent their purchase. Nintendo has me very satisfied with their N64...and one would think that Microsoft would be planning and creating some stuff for the XBOX...but much like one year ago with the PS2, where it was introduced with nothing to show for it, and shortchanged the public for a full year..I just cannot give them my money with no immediate satisfaction. I still have my Dreamcast (with NHL2K2, Skies of Arcadia and the many my brother burned for free courtesy of the web)...and unelss something changes with either system, I just can't get myself to make the purchase. MEanwhile, GAMESTOP.com has pre-owned and guaranteed PS2's with GTA 3 and Metal Gear Solid for $250.
