Oh, just out of interest what size TV did you have back in the day? I remember enjoying that era of gaming on a very nice quality Philips 32" but I know a lot of my mates at the time had 21 or even smaller size screens but yeah if you look back at some of the offers side by side I think it was pretty clear which machine had more Umph.... when used correctly of course, there are some really bad ports on the GC

 

I think I also used to have a 21 inch TV back then. I'm not too sure, my memory is not that great..

I remember my rather large TV (for the time) because I had gotten it from my first Jobs pay, cost me £799 but it lasted me from the N64 era all the way up until the tiny text in Dead Rising 1 on the X360 just made SD impossible to hold onto. My current 42" LCD TV cost under €300 new... how times have changed.

Still though, he was a good TV, kept me company for many years. One of the best things ever was having another TV behind this in my bedroom as a kid, had 2 original Xbox's back to back for Team deathmatch, 4 on each TV was a feeling which is hard to rival even though gaming now has 60+ guys per team and such... still wont ever be the same as 8 people on either side of a block of TV's and Xbox's screaming at each other.

 

Current TV https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HcP6aJFHeqc/maxresdefault.jpg completely budget model but fantastic screen on it for the price, sound is fucking dire though, using the TV's own speakers it sounds like one of those radios you find on the wasteland in fallout... just have it hooked up to my acostic solutions 200W speakers instead, does the job :)
