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.

  1. Couple Observations by creep · · Score: 4, Informative
    I hopped in line at my local Wal-Mart at about 9:00 PM. They had 92 systems; I was number 52. Aside from the employee who messed up and started handing out tickets from the end of the roll when he got to me, I am a supremely happy camper and extremely pleased with the GameCube.

    A few observations:

    • The console setup menus look a lot cooler than the PS2 (I've not seen the X-box's yet)
    • If you've not yet held the controller, just let me warn you that it will be hard to put it down. It is the single-most ergonomically-pleasing controller I've ever held (maybe that is because I have average size hands, but it is way nice).
    • Rogue Leader just flat out rocks, no two ways about it.
    I am totally pleased I bought a 'Cube, now I can't wait for Super Smash Bros. Melee to come out for it.
