It's a lot bigger than Nintendo's version. But I think it looks 10 time better

Not sure if they are going to be available in the UK though. Which is bad news

Import one, although they retail about £300, but they are region 2 so they will play british DVDs. Have it chipped, it should cost an extra £50 but you'll be able to play any DVD and any Game Cube Game.
Not a bad deal, considering the X-Box cost £300 and you need to get a remote to play the DVDs which will set you back £30. |

Nintendo and Panasonic have done really well with the prices of these machines.
WH Smiths are going to be selling the GameCube for £ 149.99 I have heard for a week when it is launched on the 3rd May

The thing is you can chip them but if something goes wrong you are knackered..

i like the look of the gamecube...
its not that expensive, the controller feels nice to hold, unlike xbox (i hate the controller, feels awful to hold) and it has compatibility with my gameboy advance... cant think of anything better
star wars looks awesome aswell... |
