Gamecube cracks
 

Have u guys ever really looked at ur gamecube and saw little cracks and top? i have 3 of them near the open button the power button and the reset buttoin and i have cracks on my controllers to there near the A, B and x button.
Now my Qeustion is... is this normal or not? and can it do any harm? or like grow any further? and the final Qeustion is have any of u guys got the same problem?

Well, no that's not particularly normal. You don't happen to keep your GameCube in the freezer, do you?

No, mine don't have that problem.. though, my N64 controllers have the paint coming off in the analog stick bay...

Yeah, mine did the same thing after a few months. Alpha, I wouldn't worry about the cracks. You can drop most Nintendo products from 2 stories up and they'll be fine afterwards.

i doubt you can drop a gamecube from 2 stories and have it unharmed. come to think of it, you can't drop many things and have them unharmed...

I read in a Nintendo Power that a Game Boy game went through the wash, and a N64 game lasted a winter in Alaska. Also a Game boy fell 2 storys. It had some scratches, but it was fine.

I wasn't being literal, AC. But, Nintendo does have a reputation for building the most durable products on the market.

Better than PS2's, my freind sent his in to get fixed, and it took half a year for them to send it back, and it cost something like $150 to fix it.

i know someone who dropped their gamecube down a concrete driveway, and now its got a huge crack in it.

I dropped my Game Boy from the kitchen counter and the thing holding the batteries in broke... the little thing keeping it secure fell inside the Game Boy...

But hey, the actual ting wasnt damaged..

that happened to me too. i just ordered 3 more from nintendo.com. theyre $1 each

thats pretty good

Think about it, Nintendo's consoles are hard as a rock, so naturaly the portable handheld system could conceivably used as armor on a fighter plane. My original gameboy has endured many falls, and still works like the day i bought it.

Mine too...good old gameboys...

yea, gba kicks ass

you guys say it aint normal but i buddy of mine has it too, at exactly the same places so you guys better check urs again cuz it might be there!

I dont have that problem yes you should get it fixed.

yea, its under the platic covering
