Intense. Three new(ish) consoles, enough
money for one. Company loyalty, (out the
window for me- poor old Sega...) branding,
advertising, look, price and the games could
all affect your choice between PS2, X-Box,
and Gamecube. So here's a rundown off the
specs and stats of each console, as well as
a page for each one, giving my personal
opinion on the console look, the controller,
the games and more. Maybe this'll help you
decide your favourite. Maybe not.

NB: This page is based on the European
PAL market (especially UK), but most of my
comments are valid if you are from
overseas anyway.
