It all depends: Which do you want more? Go for that one.

Personally, I'd recommend the Gamecube, mostly for it's price and large amount of excellent titles. It's also, IMO, the better looking of the two, but that's just me. Like I said, go with the console that YOU want more.

Funny, I just picked up a gamecube the other day for like 27 bucks. I did own an xbox back in the day and I got a lot of fun out of it. So if I had to choose I would go with the GC just cause there are more memorable games on there

Resident Evil remake and Zero

Resident Evil 2, 3, 4, Code Veronica

Windwaker

SSB Melee

Sunshine

Tales of symphonia

Paper Mario

Eternal Darkness

Metroid Prime 1 and 2

MArio Kart

MGS Twin Snakes

If you can get your hands on Ikaruga...:) I'm sure there are plenty others I missed but the decision is still solely up to you...Choose Wisely! ^_^

Easily the gamecube, it had excellent exclusives. You should get one especially if you have a PS2.

Having both the gamecube and the xbox, I'd have to disagree with people so far and say, if you could only pick one, pick the Xbox. While I like both systems, I'd have to say the XBox is superior due to various reasons. 1) More games (and it's far easier to find games on the Xbox now than it is on the gamecube). 2) Better exclusives. A lot of people are pointing to stuff like Zelda and Resident Evil being on the GC, which is all well and good, but they are counter-balanced by the likes of KotOR 1 & 2, Jade Empire, Halo 1 & 2, Morrowind, Republic Commando, Fable, etc. While the cube has some good exclusives, IMO the XBox has better ones (and more). 3) It plays DVDs. GC doesn't. (though you do need to buy the DVD remote for them to work, which is dumb) 4) Someone said the GC controller is better than the XBox's, which is a flat-out lie. The original (first) controller for the XBox sucked; then they redesigned it to one that is even better than the 360's. However, the GC's controller is one of the most awkward in the history of gaming (not to mention it has an extremely short cord, forcing you to sit closer to your TV) - the only one I can think of that's worse is the N64's. 5) A lot of the multiplatform games of last gen (the Prince of Persia series, Jedi Knight series, LOTR, etc.) look best on XBox, since it's the most powerful beast of the three systems from last gen. So, if you can only pick one, I'd go for the XBox.

GameCube, the exclusives on GameCube are freaking awesome, Eternal Darkness is a must. However, I suggest you get KOTOR 1/2, Jade Empire, Morrowind, and Doom 3 on PC. Morrowind especially must be played on PC simply because of all the mods.

Personally I would go with Gamecube any day since all Xbox has for the most part is FPS's so unless you really like FPS's then I would say Gamecube.

If you are an FPS fan - get an XBox...

For everything else - GameCube :)

Listen to this man. Unless you're extremely loyal to Nintendo, get the Xbox.

If you do end up getting an xbox, which is a good choice. Please for the love of all that is good in this world, get Morrowind on PC. Seriously, the mods extend the lifespan of the game massivley and can make the experience a lot more enjoyable as well.

Also, different people like different controllers. I happen to think the Gamecube controller is far better than even the 360 controllers, make sure you opt for the controller you think will fit nicley in your hand.
