hello I be 17 year old and have be play game for a loooong time . so do not discard I just yet ! I own a game cube and a ps2 . to be honest I teach like most people out there , `` that a game cube be for little kid '' . but like most people have see the Game cube be not for little kid . just take a look at this game ... hitman 2 , true crime : Streets of LA , Resident Evil , Mortal Kombat : Deadly Alliance , Dead to rights , Def Jam Vendetta , and many more tittle . I teach that the ps2 be better and it never accure to I that I would buy a game cube . I get it with Super Smash Bros. . Melee and Freekstyle . it be great , I be play for a long time and I just get soo in to it that I do not even see the time fly by .  i like how small it be and everyone that have see it like it because of its small size , small disc , and great look . but i still get that `` be not the ps2 better ? '' . well if you think that pay more for a Console be `` better '' than go for it and waste you money on that cheap dvd add-in . I know that the line `` include dvd '' sound awesome and I feel for it too like many other out there . but start think about it and it be not that great . plus if you already have one -lrb- which most of we do -rrb- why would you need one ? First of the ps2 do not support mp3 's , VCD 's , SVCD 's , the ZOOM Feature , Different Angle Feature , Record dvd 's feature , and it do not have progressive scan . a must have for better dvd quality . and with the price of dvd player now a day I think its better to go out there and buy the dvd player separate . this also mean not go out there and hunt around for a decent dvd control . get my point ?  ok let continue ! I have the Game cube and the Playstation 2 , i dont have the xbox and i have not play it either , so to be fair i will not talk about it . so here we go !  game cube - small size , small CD 's , Easy to carry , fast set-up , very comfortable controller , very durable , 3 different color , awesome game Variety , Addictive `` only for '' Games , have never freeze , and under $ 100 .  ps2 - some-what small , great Button Layout , stand vertically -lrb- with help -rrb- and horizontally , play dvd 's , fast set-up , have `` Grand theft auto '' , Great Game Variety and do not freeze freakently -lrb- but have about 10 time since i have it \* 6 month \* -rrb- .  so bottom line if you want a awesome system that look Great and play even Greater , get the Game cube . the only reason i would not buy one be if I still think that it be for little kid , or if I do not have a dvd player and need one fast , but like i state on top I do not think you want that one anyway . so hopefully this help you and have guide you to buy what be right for you ! happy gaming ! : -rrb-
