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 want something more fulfulling than the Pentium 4! Look at how poorly it stacks up to an Atari 2600!

    I played the Xbox... didnt look or feel any different than my PS2.. and GT3 is a better game than gotham racing.

    Sony has one helluva head start on the two newcomers... WE'll see where things lie next year....

    My bets? Xbox goes the way the Jaguar went. It will die, but at least have better numbers than ATARI was possible of.
    nintendo? I hope they can do it, although someone needs to beat the engineer that though not using a standard dvd was a good idea over the head with several SNES machines. what moron in engineering or management thought it was a good idea to not have a feature that everyone else has?

    my first notice was the fact that the local stores still have Xboxes on the shelves.. funny, you couldnt get a PS2 for months after release, yet I could liesurely buy an Xbox.... anyone else notice this? or is it region specific?
