Game Cube = Brain Washing!

Maybe it\'s been said before but isn\'t Coke just Cloud with a different user name?

*does the "this thread\'s gonna get locked soon" -dance*

Hehehe...The dancing jig of doom!!  *Not yet...

Coke, I doubt any of us bought a PS2 or Xbox for the DVD player.  We buy consoles for their primary purpose...to play videogames.  Whatever extras it might have on it are great, but not necessary.  

Do you honsetly think anyone who bought a GC was upset because they didn\'t get a DVD player in it?

Yes. But for some reason, I think the majority of those disappointed didn\'t even buy the system.

DIE NINTENDO DIE!!!

Well think about this, what are you going to do when you want to watch a DVD?

Probably use the DVD player in the living room.  One time I used the PS2 in my room, though...  Hell, I might even be able to use the DVD player in my computer, though there\'d be no reason for me to do that.

So that was easy, now you think about this, what are you going to do when you want to play Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 0, Super Monkey Ball 2, Legend of Zelda, Star Fox: Adventures, Too Human, 1080: White Storm, F-Zero, Wrestlemania X8, Mario Kart, Perfect Dark Zero, Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros: Melee, Pikmin, or Wave Race: Blue Storm?

:rolleyes:

Tell me this then...how happy would you be if you bough a car that cost\'s almost the same as other cars and it didnt have A/C, cruise control, 2 air bags, ABS...etc etc...   NOW if you paid the virtually the same price as another car that DOES have these features...well i think almost every perosn would think you an idi0t fo making such a purchase.. Same concept here buddie!

WAKE UP FANBOY!!

Except we are paying LESS for the part with less features, the console, and the same price for the part that is the same quality, the games.  We aren\'t paying more for games, as you said earlier in your post.  How about posting something halfway intelligent next time.

Most people already have some way to play DVDs.  Why would they want to spend extra to add another, lower quality DVD player to their collection?  That\'s what doesn\'t make any sense.

Explain how the PS2\'s DVD is low quality

I wouldn\'t say low... "adequate" would be more like it.

And shockwaves didn\'t say "low quality". "Loooooweeeeerrrrr", there\'s a difference. Standalone DVD-players just tend to be better that the PS2 when it comes to DVD playback. I wonder why... the other machine is mainly for gaming, and the other one built for the aforementioned purpose? Hmmm... Think about it.

Well my DVD rom plays games and movies.  So does that take away from its DVD movie playback quality?

PS2 has the quality of a $250 dollar DVD player.  And believe me most families dont spend much more then that for DVD players

Pposting system specs isn\'t a valid arguement at all.  If you really think it is, then I dare you to compare the PS2 to any of the other two next gen consoles and from your perspective, the PS2 just isn\'t worth the cash because it\'s really dated in comparison.  Don\'t post your stupid specs ever again because me, along with anyone else who has been on this board for a year will tell you that specs are about the stupidest way to argue because they prove nothing.  You\'re just an idiot, plain and simple.  Go back to your tight wad lifestyle and get the hell off the boards.  We already have enough stupid members to fill the void and right now, the boats full.

As for the rest of you, i really couldnt be bothered reading the rest of that bollocks you all wrote.

You won\'t read our posts yet you think you are write?  That\'s like a detective saying you\'re guilty because you look like it.

"Oh we like to save money on our cheap a$sed console"

You mean like the people who refuse to buy a stand alone dvd player to save money ont he PS2\'s cheap ass DVD player?  Come on now.  Think about this; With the XBox, the PS2, my computer, AND my standalone player, I have 4 DVD players in my household.  Do I really need another one?  It\'s not being cheap, it\'s just the practicallity of it all.  Besides, you own a PS2, what\'s the point of wanting the GCN to include a DVD player anyways?  It\'s still 50 dollars cheaper as well because it doesn\'t include one.  Why you are still b|tching is beyond me.

Casue your gaming machine sure as hell doesnt have one. You\'ll have to go out an purchase one for around $300.

Now that\'s funny.  I actually did a search and wasted my time just to prove that you really don\'t do any of the shopping in your household.  

http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11099596&m=1&cat=32&scat=244

Price: 64.99 and it plays CDs, DVDs, CDRWs, and has many other features.  So for 10 dollars more, I get the GCN, and this stand alone player that blasts the PS2 player right out of the water.  I hate being right all the damn time.

I\'m so sure your mommy and daddy bought you your PS2 and now you feel a little insecure because other people around you are actually having FUN playing their respective consoles.  How sad for you.  Get a job.  Buy some stuff and maybe you\'ll realize that us GAMING ENTHUSIASTS (meaning people who buy consoles to PLAY GAMES) actually know a good game when we see one.  You on the other hand, are just in it for hardware and you\'re kidding yourself if you think the best reason to avoid a console is because it\'s not a DVD player.

This point has already been addressed. If its such a "Very big Plus"...who the plus to?..nintendo, but thats about it. The consumer just looses out by paying MORE for a game thats supposed to be piracy resistant. GREAT IDEA to have a mini disk hey!!! Nintendo ripping you off and you cant even see it, ...truly PATHETIC.

This just doesn\'t make any sense.  The GCN disks can still hold roughly the same amount of data as the PS2 DVDs and yet you think it should be cheaper?  I don\'t see the logic at all.  Do you even know what that word, logic, means?  You are a strange little man, and you have my pity.  Farewell.

PS2 has the quality of a $250 dollar DVD player.

HAHAHAHAHA.  I am so SICK of how stupid movinginstereo, coke, and clowd show themselves to be.  It\'s just baffling that these people made it past birth.

Well from the specs I read x box i suppose to have 300 million polygons and ps2 only 60 million.  Does this give it way better graphics?  no.  you say its not worth buying a ps2 because its outdated,  well ok i wont buy it and miss out all its exclusive triple a games.

So you think the PS2 has the quality of a 50$ DVD player?  you say a 70 dollar one hs better quality

If coke is like me then he just doesnt buy all the consoles.  So many member have posted on this board that after buying a x box and completing halo the x box is in the corner collecting dust.  that is why people who value money buy the best of each division and only the best. = PS2

If I were to get a GC what would I play with it?  Mariio fighting?  No that is boring to me.  When does mario sunchine and zelda  come out?  about another year.  Well by then GC may be 100 so Ill wait till then.  There just no reason to get it now.  Poor GC didnt add a DVD player to try and get an advantage over x box and ps2 and please the price range of its (mostly) 9 year old audience

No one is asking anyone to buy a GC.  It\'s just stupid people are not because it doesn\'t double as a DVD player.  It\'s as simple as that.
