def the Gamecube if you wanna play burned games, and it comes with a nice variety of kids games also, plus you get more options in the Nintendo game line-up, plus some really really good titles...

For the sheer variety of games though, I always preferred the PS2...plus the fact that the games look a lot more amazing on it, better graphics, better sound et al...

XBox is ideal for online gaming...you and your friends can hook up your machines together and have a go at each other or 2 player missions, but the XBox suffers from limitations in the number of games it offers...

I have all 3 of em, and most of the time I m hooked into my XBox usually at nights...but PS2 and Gamecube are better suited for single-player gameplay, and its an easier option of the two...
