Hehe I don't want to start a flame war between the two

. I like them both, but GCN was the system for me. Yah the games you named are all fuggin great. Seriously. Those and Amped. I'm actually stoked cuz my little brothers who live back home are getting an XBOX so i'll still be able to play one. Like I said, it is just preference and I prefer the Gamecube. I'm pissed though cuz I spilled beer in one of hte controllers and the POS is all sticky.
Oh and about the XBOX controller... I do believe to be inferior. It is large, despite what you say. I'm also not a fan of its almost verticle button layout and how the last two are smaller... It is a dreamcast controller that feels bulkier and has two extra black buttons. But i'm not trying to dis the XBOX. I like it!
