It's official, but surely I have some warranty, or at least a customer support number to call?
Anyone?

In the service manual/booklet you got with the gamecube should have a number to call.
If all else fails, sell it to a chav. They'll never know.

It's just over 25 months old and I don't know, it just won't work anymore.
I know that the warranty is out of date, but surely they'll fix it for money, it'll be cheaper than buying a new one.

It never bothered me too much because games only crashed at random times, and I could play bits again, but the fact that I can't continue in Skies because of it, and Madden is crashing far too much (although just about every one of my games crashes, they're the worst offenders, and I keep my disks in good nick) has enlightened me to the fact that it must be fixed.

Unfortunately, I appear to have binned it, and it doesn't give you a number with any of the games (that I'm aware of).

And they will know, eventually, and they'll stab me.

umm yeah good point. Well just go to an old peoples home and sell it to them. Tell them it'll make them look 'Hip' in front of their nephew who hates them.

...the answer is, "Boot Sale"! The amount of dodgy consoles floating around at my local one is not funny - people will be silly enough to buy them and of course with a boot sale its not like you can track them down once you plug it in and find out some benny has sold you a duffer =(

(happened to me once with an Amiga 500 - I was fuming, and unfortunately they weren't back there the next week when I went to lay the smackdown on them =P)
