Sigh...the console war is just one of those wars that started and everybody forgot why

It's seems that way anyway.
As for me, I like just about any console, because it's the games that matter really.
The reason I bought a PS2 instead of a GameCube or Xbox (I'm not rich) is because of the backward compatability with PS1. I have so many PS1 games that I still love to play and I buy the new games that I like.
I've played Halo on the Xbox and honestly it's the only console FPS that I can stand (Actually I think it's one of the coolest)
GameCube I've played and loved Smash Brothers Melee. (Still want to play RE tho...)
As for Zelda, graphics don't bother me, but when Link is a little kid...
Anyway I only really enjoyed playing Z64 when Link was an adult and the world was all dark. That was cool.
I would still give it a try though.
