GAME CUBE: $299
PS2: $399
XBOX: $499 (Plus the $100 Microsoft is apparently losing per system)
DC: $50

You can't be this stupid...

Xbox-$299
PS2-$299
GC-$199
DC-$50

Damn, have you been in a cave or do you have down-syndrome?

SORRY DUDE! THESE ARE CANADIAN PRICES I LISTED. ALSO THEY INCLUDE A BUNDLED GAME (WHY CANT I JUST GET THE SYSTEM BY ITSELF UP HERE ANYHOW?)

Loo... Xb0x, they just crap but, hey! although i hate it, and so does all my beloved friends here, Microsoft decision to enter the console market CAN make differences. What is it, who cares (well, at least i'm not)

Back to the discussion, have anybody ever played Super Puyo-Puyo on SNES? It was CLASS!!

So thay's why DC IS powerful and better than GC. Hopefully we can get access to recordable disc that GC use,then they're equavalent, because the cube dont have Shenmue I and II

hey, i call it gcn also 8^[
i dont know if ign calls it that, but thats what all the early nintendo press releases called it (all the spaceworld stuff) so i figured that like "psx", it doesnt make sense to me, but i guess it did to someone in the company, so thats what i called it...

What in the god damn hell should it matter that you don't like the abbreviation? Post your opinion on the matter if you like, but there's no reason to go around changing people's posts to enforce an opinion.

And if you hadn't noticed, that's the abbreviation Nintendo are using:

(see the "GCN Specs" graphic, if the URL itself isn't telling enough)

Disco I went to the Spaceworld expo in Japan as part of my Job, In no way was the word GCN used.

It may have been reported like that by the US media, but in logical thinking the whole GCN (I honestly hate typing that abbrieviation IT FEELS WRONG!) is a non starter, Im sure its a US thing that has steam rolled out of proportion.

-Edit 2. Ive just noticed Heliophobes post (seems like like its definately a US only term then, No reference to it in any UK or JPN press releases)

What the bloody hell were they thinking???

Maybe that NGC makes people think of the Neo Geo (or Neo Geo Pocket Color), and GC could be confused with Gameboy Color, and nobody uses GCN for anything else in the game console world?

I don't particularly like the abbreviation either (although it's starting to grow on me), but the point is that I don't want to see a post of mine editted because your opinions differ from mine. Rules are rules, and that's not one of them.

I will also continue to refer to Segas first 16-bit console as the "Genesis" as well, even though THAT'S A US ONLY TERM OMG HOW LAME!.

Hope you don't mind. KTHXBYE.

An excellent point. It seems that only Katana and Tails understand this, God knows why

Also I made a post as to why the PS2 and the XBox might fail a while back but it was deleted along with a bunch of thers in the main forum. I won't say why again because people might start a HUGE arguement, but I think Heliophobe know what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure what your reason is, but I plan to provide damning photographic evidence about the immanent failure of the XBox, as soon as I can.

well all the press releases that nintendo let out at space world referred to it as gcn (just as nintendo still is reffering to it as), and whether you saw it or not, it was in use at (and since) that time by the maker of the system, so even if you dont like it, too bad, thats the "official" abbreviation 8^]
althogh that doesnt mean *too* much, i mean the offical GBA abbreviation is AGB, but no one seems to care and GBA is used far more often....

Heliophobe, Genesis isnt the US abbrieviation is it? its what that system is actually called!

And the Guys post I edited is from the UK and should know better by now than to use the "American only" Abbrieviation (but accepted it is the guys choice, I guess everyone missed the post I made a few months back when I jokingly said I was going to change all the GCN's to GC!) and ending a post with KTHXBYE is incredibly ignorant and reflects badly on your part.

Disco I dont know what expo you are thinking of...but its deff not the spaceworld one of 2000.

If you can show me a copy/example of a press release that actually states its from the correct date of the SW expo then id eat my words.

But I guarantee you that its a US marketing idea that isnt being taken by the Japanese or the UK markets.

Apparently not a joke because you are actually doing it.

and ending a post with KTHXBYE is incredibly ignorant and reflects badly on your part.

Ignorance of what? Ignorance of how to spell "Okay, thanks, bye?"

No, it was another 'incorrect' abbreviation that you wouldn't approve of. Which I wrote to irritate you.

It reflects on me that I am irritable and cranky.
