Inside The Nintendo GameCube

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the probing-luigis-innards dept.

Mortin writes "Icrontic.com has ripped apart a Nintendo GameCube. They document the entire procedure with a myriad of pictures. It's neat to see how clearly the Xbox and GameCube differ in respect to physical hardware." Luigi's mansion looks cool. The Star Wars game wasn't very fun. But the cube is so tiny, it's cute!

    ???

    I'm a big-N fan, but the XBox ads work much better for me.

    The XBox commericals show me the gameplay. They show me incredible graphics, cinematic scenes, and compelling gameplay.

    GCN ads show me glass cubes with men squished in them.

    Further, the XBox ads are exactly *unlike* the PS & PS2 ads. They'd show 25 seconds of random stuff (man in Crash Bandicoot costume. WTF?) and then 5 seconds of game footage. Sorry, but show me the game -- man in freak-suit doesn't make me want to buy the game.

  2. Please make a "consoles" category. by corky6921 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Slightly OT, but please read before moderating.

    I would like to see a "consoles" category on Slashdot. That way, all of these articles about the Gamecube and Xbox could go in their own category, which users could then remove from the front page. Right now, they are in the generic "technology" category, which contains many other articles that might be interesting to those of us who couldn't care less about the latest console hack.

    Thanks--
