GameCube Really And Truly For Sale

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-care dept.

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.

    I enjoy playing Pikmin on Mandrake gaming edition! I especially enjoy playing networked Super Monkey Ball on Mandrake gaming edition vs. people in the same room as me.

    I personally don't see whats so great about packing a bunch of old systems into one.

    Huh? Did you read something that lead you to believe the gamecube is an amalgamation of NES, SNES, N64?

    Im not much of a gammer but even if i were i won't spend $300 on the game cube.

    That's good, because it's $200. Add a game, $250.

    The GameCube is almost everything I could ask for in a console; it's purple, and it's a cube. If only it had electicity arcing all over it and said "Warning: Incoming Game" when I turned it on, then it would be THE last word in console systems.

    I love ReBoot by the way, maybe I shouldn't but maybe you should.

    It was lame and sad.

    Besides making you look like an idiot, it also reminded everyone who reads the story, for no reason at all, that GNU\Linux is a joke of a game platform when compared to the GameCube.

    If you don't know any japanese, how do you know you didn't just take 7 hours to die? Lots of Mario games ahve rather "happy" game over graphics, that you could have confused with an underwhelming end-game sequence....
