Just curious...
When it comes to multiplatform releases where do you stand?

For me it depends, if it's something that can use live I might choose the 'bawks otherwise it's just whichever I can find first.

You should add the option: multiplatform games suck

XBOX has the best version 95 percent of the time anyway.

I chose XBox only because I'm so damn used to the controller from playing XBox Live as of late. I don't have a bias against any system though... I think they all have some killer games.

Xbox wins this hands down. The controller's not the greatest, but it's about on the same league as the other two, and the xbox version is almost always the cleanest.

Either Xbox or GC. There is absolutely no reason to go with the PS2 version unless that is all you own. I've heard of people who own a GC and PS2 actually deciding to wait for the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4. Why the fuck would anyone do that?

Voted for PS2,due to the fact that I play it the most.

However,that may all change once I get on Xbawks Live,though...

Did you beat their ass down? Someone that stupid needs their head outta their ass pronto.

If I buy multiplatform releases it needs to supports live, if not I buy gc.

Most of the time it is "teh BAWKS" but if buy an EA game, I get it for the PS2. The EA Games are made for the PS2 first, then XBOX, then GC. So Madden is optimized for the PS2 and then "ported" to the XBOX and GC.

Totally depends on the game. If it's an American game or there's an Xbox version that's compatible with Live, I'll almost always go with Xbox. For Japanese-origin offline multi-platform releases, I'll usually go with GameCube or PlayStation 2, depending what the general consensus is on which version is best.

Because they're blind, is about the only reason I can think of.

Resident Evil 4 stretches the GC to its outermost limits, and the PS 2 hasn't got an icecube's chance in hell of reproducing RE 4 with the same graphical prowess.

if it has live i'd go for the xbox version

otherwise i'd probably go for the cube, since i like the cube.

looking over my games though, they all look like exclusives, except a couple live games.

my entire ps2 library (read: 5 games) is only exclusive titles. now thats somethin
