GameCube Really And Truly For Sale

Several readers have submitted the news that the GameCube is now officially for sale. With the GameCube and Xbox newly on offer, and the still-amazing PlayStation2 still hanging on, and dirt-cheap, high-power PCs on every corner, it looks like the predicted deaths of both console and PC are still some ways off. On the whole, I'd rather have the Mandrake Gaming edition (mentioned previously) than a new console.

No one is going to care... Nintendo lost out on this one. They where on time with the N64 but I haven't heard of anyone sleeping over at a store to be the first to have one!!!

Alright!

[--daz--]

Now can I get a GameCube and, just like my Nintendo 64 get a plethora of games developed for it. Just a sample of the many games for the GameCube:

• Mega Super Mario
• Mega Super Mario II
• Mega Super Mario III
• Mega Super Mario Collection
• Mega Super Mario IV: The Adventures of Toad
• Mega Super Pokemon
• Mega Super Pokemon II
• Mega Super Pokemon III: Together with Mega Super Mario
• Mega Super Mario Party
• Mega Super Mario Party II
• Mega Super Mario Party III: Pokemon Edition
• Mega Super Zelda
• Mega Super Zelda II: The Quest for Pokemon
• Mega Super Mario Kart
• Mega Super Mario Kart II: The Quest for Zelda
• Mega Super Mario V: We're Running Out of Ideas
• Super Mario Classic
• Mario Classic Collection
• Zelda Classic Collection
• Pokemon Classic Collection

Oh yeah, and one or two 3rd party games, but that's about it.

No thanks, I'll be buying an XBox with real games and real creativity. I'm not blowing my money on another worthless, technologically inferior Nintendo product.

What's wrong wth scalping? It is a simple matter of supply and demand. If there is a demand for one at a price then it should be a right to sell it. By selling it at a price below what someone would pay you are depriving the product from the hands of someone who is willing to pay more for it but can't get to the store in time.

That guy is a true capitalist. You my friend, sound to me like a commie. You aren't a commie, are you? :)

}-- all that from a 100 level intro econ class :p

(Note, I'm not saying capitalism or communism is good or bad, just showing a point that I don't think scalping is bad. It's like paying a premium for a service that makes the product more likely to be available.)
