Before any of you Nintendo fans rush out and get one, I should highlight this report from another site

http://www.easytobait.com

As most Nintendo fans are of a similar age and ability, the main question concerning Gamecube customers is this:

How are they going to be able to figure out how to open the box?
And once that task has been mastered, there then comes the problem of putting all the wires in correctly.

Like N64, the wires will only be able to wit into certain ports due to the different connections. And you would have to be incredible stupid to try and stick the great big power connector into the aerial port!

It is horrid! YUCK. I'd be 99% certain it won't make it out of Japan anyway - maybe in a different form.

I thought the deal was to make a machine that attracts to the more mature end of the market. They do this by making the console look like a small washing machine???

i agree...
everyone's different so there will be no point in even arguing about this cube thing. There will be wires in the cube for the whole thing to work. If there were no wires then there would be no point in even buying the cube 'cos then it won't work.
Who would want to take the cube apart anyway? Wouldn't you leave that for an expert to do???
If there were any problems with the cube they would not be selling it and putting it on the market. They would obviously check it before selling it. Otherwise the company would be known as lying to their customers, which could lead nintendo into being unpopular.
Does anyone agree with me out there???
