GameCube down to $99.99

psst...grab Eternal Darkness while you're at it, guy! You'll be wetting the bed in no time!

Yeah I think I might go get one too, doesn't it come with a controller and a game?

I've been greedy lately and trying to find an even cheaper deal on Ebay, but so far, not good. I'll eventually get the console and Zelda for like $70 I bet.

why waist ur money? steal it!!

Yeah Sc2 on Gc is just so much better than on xbox and ps2. I think im gona go pick up a copy of metriod prime and halo for pc today..

there was this EB store we went to and now they are selling the gcube for 89.99 !! this was just 2 days ago, i'm not sure if it is on sale or if that is the final cost, i'll bring an ad

plz do

Man, I haven't been able to find my golden auction yet...

I'll continue my looking.

Just buy the damn thing! It's the cheapest console on the market, and you'll come to realize that it's the best! I could name a small number of games that would keep me busy for months, and a much less rabid video game fanatic busy for probably twice as long.

What do you like? Blowing shit up?

Metroid Prime, Metal Arms: Glitch In The System or P.N. 03

Adventure games?

Zelda: Wind Waker, Star Fox Adventures or Beyond Good And Evil

Platformers more your thing?

Viewtiful Joe, Mario Sunshine or Vexx will suit your needs with flying colors.

RPGs?

Skies of Arcadia Legends, Summoner: A Goddess Reborn or Tales of Symphonia.

You want stuff that will scare the hell out of you?

Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil or Resident Evil Zero.

Racing Games?

F-Zero GX, Extreme-G 3 or Mario Kart: Double Dash!!!

There's a ton more stuff than that, and everything I've mentioned is top-tier quality. Better design and innovation than anything else out there, and technologically more impressive than PS2 games. Pick it up. You won't be disappointed.

Yeah, well as much as I don't wanna sound like a cheap skate, that is exactly the reason... I really don't have money to just throw around to get video games... My legal fines are just a little too over-whelming and saving $50 is very pivital at this juncture in my life.

Legal fines? For what? Were you porking your neighbors' goldfish with a fried chicken leg? Or was it something significantly less disturbing?

No, when I got my DUI. Not only did I get hit up with 12 months loss of license, but I got a little over $6100 in fines tacked on to that bad boy. I was in a school zone, which is why I got so fucked...

Oh damn. Well, yeah...stop drinking! I'm in debt, but at least it's not to The Man! And being in my kind of debt is a lot more manageable. More room in the budget for video games and such.

The only bad thing about gamecube is their gaming 'style'. Most of em are Family games. Theres nothing wrong with these games but they are childish and boring, Atleast they are now releasing more rpg games, which make gamecube more profitable.

And no, I have no proof, if they are making or losing money, or and percentages of what games they are selling.

Again, I don't quite understand what the fuck people mean when they refer to Gamecube games as "family" or "child" oriented. Just because it doesn't have buckets of gore and flopping tits doesn't mean it's geared toward children. The design in Nintendo games is exponentially better than almost anything I've played on any other console. Learn to look past the fact that their games aren't loaded with swearing and gore, and you'll enjoy them.

It's because the N64 had games like Yoshi's Story. It WAS a good game, but it was also a child's game. Kind of funny really, n64 was an awesome shooter console, what with that controller and all. It had tons of gore and what the average joe refers to as "mature" on it, but still a handful of games geared for younger kids and they screw the system line for a while. Heh, Turok was fun, also fun on GCN. GCN is much much different then what they think it is, and sadly most people don't realize that. They also probably only realize that as far as I know, when game news groups refer to the gcn as doing poor, or the xbox doing really well, their only talking about the US market. And for the fact that a vast, vast majority of american gamers are just too stupid to be inclined to play something more difficult, or use a fair amount of their brain, and that microsoft just about owns the damn country, it's no wonder they can turn american brain mush into money. They just want something that's extremely simple and requires next to no thiking. Sad, in't it? It'd be much, much better if they wrapped up an international market instead of just stating US sales. :\

yeah i probably buy one because i guess thats the only console i dont have :-P but the games are as expensive as ps2 games right?? (i dont know, its been a while since i bought a game :-(

Tai, Nintendo quotes worldwide sales frequently. Microsoft avoids it because they want to give the impression that they have the number two console worldwide, where in reality, that's not the case at all. Shit, PS1s have been selling better in Japan since the release of the XBox.

It is sad to think that this country is fueled by an instinctive need for "fast food gaming" which is exactly what everyone but Nintendo caters to. There have been plenty of child-oriented Sony games, but nobody brands them as being a "kiddy company." So, why do people do it to Nintendo? Because it's the only thing even close to a competent argument they have. The instant that any intelligent gamer hears the phrase "Nintendo makes kids games" they (for the most part) give up any hope they have of reforming the aforementioned moron, and resume playing good video games. It's not going to change, one way or another.

so i guess its some type of phycological thing then...i mean for a REAL gamer, they would realize that then right??
