GameCube is the cheapest at the moment, but that doesn't mean it will "win" the console battle. Price is not everything these days. Many people still want a console that can also play DVD movies, and that means PS2 or XBox. True, many people have a standalone DVD player now, but it's useful to many to have a 2nd DVD player in another room. Other people think along the lines of which console has the most games/support, and that means PS2. So we will have to wait and see if the lower price tag alone of the GC is enough to convince people they don't need dvd or the large games selection on PS2. In the meantime, there are plenty of GC fanatics who will keep the thing going for a while yet - at least long enough to see if more "mainstream" buyers go for it or not.

Hi, go down the corridor, over the bottomless pit, past the doorway to hell and through the door which says "furnace"

The manager will be pleased to see you as your nads roast.

Ofcourse, if you wish to plead forgiveness for your topic, you may be given a sparkler.

One thing about Nintendo is, THEY MAKE PROFIT FROM THEIR STUFF, AND THEY HAVE THE GBA WHICH SELLS BUCKETLOADS. Wait, that's two things. Hmmm.

Even I have to agree that, thanks to price cuts, even if they are unofficial, and some scorchin deals, both official like the Metroid and Zelda one, and unofficial, that Nintendo is coming out all guns blazing this year.

I want one........
