Probing the Guts Of the Consoles

Max Entropy writes "Finally, an in-depth article of the technologies within the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox. The article covers architectures, processor/memory silicon, I/O, expandability, and storage among a host of other topics." If you are wondering what makes each system distinctive (Besides the fact that one has about a hundred times as many games, one overheats, and another has Luigi) this might be worth a read.

  1. Game Cube (A little OT and ranty, sorry) by ffatTony · · Score: 1, Troll

    Will you personally buy a game cube?

    If you answer yes to this one you'll be the only one I know who will. Why? The Nintendo64 had such a sorry array of games when compared to the PS1, its a no-brainer to expect the same of their cube.

    I think I represent the average gamer and I want strategy games, fighting games, REALISTIC images, great audio. I want games to move me and scare me. I especially don't want Mario this or Luigi that. Game cube commercials are already touting a new Mario + friends mortal combat style fighting game. I truly think you need to be 11 to get a kick out of that.
