What he said.
Seriously, at $99 you have nothing to lose. Not to downplay the Xbox (I own one, it\'s fun) but if you\'re a PS2 gamer you can\'t go wrong having the GCN as a second console at that price. $99.. that\'s almost Dreamcast low!

I wonder if M$ and Sony will follow suit in the run up to christmas?
-
MS says that they won\'t drop the price unless Sony does. Apparently MS still thinks that they\'re in competition with the PS2 even though the Xbox\'s numbers actually reflect GameCube\'s. Not a bad strategy, I guess.
You do get free games with the \'Box, and nothing with the $99 GCN.
-
Still...the Gamecube is the better choice over Xnob. And what better combo than PS2 and GC and GB:SP?????
*prays this thread is locked so no one can answer :p *
-
I can name much better combos and none of them involve any of the current 3...
-
Let me guess.......DC and Saturn? :D
-
...plus Genesis, SNES, NES, SMS...
Ahhh, the good \'ol days...
-
Bah...Tell us something we didnt know.
-
The best 2-console combo ever.. that\'s a toughie. GBA and PS2 make it easy because they play the most games and contain a lot of ports and pseudo-rehashes from older systems. (most notably SNES and Genesis)
Of course, that would discount the Xbox, GCN, N64, DC, Saturn, and God knows how many other consoles..
-
GBA will cost more than a GC next year.
-
I\'m tempted. If they had a decent controller w/the thing I\'d be all over it like R Kelly at a 14yr old\'s birthday party.
So what are the good \'cube games anyway? I\'ve been interested in Animal Crossing.
-
Go to IGN and look at their review section. They\'ll tell you what\'s good and what\'s not.
-
piss on IGN
just ask me whats good
-
Why ask you?The only good thing in your opinion is your state of the art PC :D
You PC fanboy you :p
-
Ok, right now i\'ve got :
- PS2
-Xbox
- crappy old PC
My reasons to get a Cube would be ;
- Metal Gear Solid : Twin Snakes
- Star Wars : Rogue Leader
- Kirby\'s Airride
- RE
- Zelda ww
-
Knotter, what the hell is wrong with you?? You\'re forgetting Metroid Prime.
rob,
Animal Crossing, Zelda: WW, and Metroid Prime would keep you busy for quite a while. F-Zero GX, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, Mario Party 4, Mario Sunshine, and Starfox Adventures are also worth checking in to.
-
IMO Metroid Prime sucked was overhyped like Halo. The only console FPS I liked was 007 and Red Faction.
FPS belong on the PC.
-
Metroid, although a FPS, still felt like all the old metroid games. That\'s why I loved it.
Game was amazing so don\'t listen to Vivi.

imo metroid wasnt a FPS, but a FPA (first oerson adventure). Graphic, sound, scenery, control alll was excelently well done from SNES to NGC; a masterpiece.
-
Metroid Prime? Oh yeah. It\'s an unconventional FPS, I like Miyamoto\'s term.. "FPA".
It\'s also probably the best console game of this generation to date, or at least in the top 3.

What makes it fun? The parts where you have to wander the whole map over and over and waste hours trying to find things?

yeah. thats why i like better racing game. at least you dont have to look for anything new to explore while trying out all your new toy; at least in racing game you can run around again, and again.
exploration as always been a great part of the playing mechanics in metroid. if you dont like it, you dont have to be sarcastic about it.
-
Ah, well it just pissed me off.
-
Yep, to each his own.
I\'d have to sit here for over half an hour to explain exactly why MP is so revered..
