    When I have videogame neophytes (or even PS2/Gamecube owners who aren't familiar with the Xbox) over to play some games, they are usually blown away by Xbox Live. "These are REAL people?" they say over and over into the microphone..

    Just because you bring idiots over to your house doesn't mean anything. I'm a gamecube owner, but that doesn't mean I don't play Battlefield, Enemy Territory, and America's Army online on my computer.

    The best multiplayer games out there are FPSs, and FPSs suck on the console. That's why I'm not too worried about the gamecube not supporting online play.

    Plus there's too many 13 year old punks on xbox live. Maybe if all my friends had it, it'd be worth it, but as it is, none of my friends subscribe to xbox live.

    Yes, you're right- Mario Kart Double Dash is a good LAN game.

    And when you're done with that- you can play Kirby's Air Ride and 1080- those last two only allow for 4 players.

    So how long would we really want to keep playing Mario Kart Double Dash?

    Of course, the only reason you would be playing it at all, is that you can't run Burnout 3 on the Gamecube...
