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.

The Xbox is also very heavy - which can be damaging for weaklings like myself.

lol- so you have lifetd an X Box? I can't see why the look of the console matters- its how the games play, and as far as I have seen, the games look pretty good!

For a start many people know how to open any cardboard box, and if you were refering to the actual gamecube itself if has text saying "OPEN" DUH.
As with any console you have to put many wires in otherwise it wont work. Plus most people can inser connectors into sockets and if they cant then "trial and error" will work.
Just to finish, I think the gamecube is a very good machine BUT so are the X-Box and PS2. There all much of a much ness. Buy which ever one you want. :->

Yeah he is right- There surely is a button with the text saying 'open'.

There is wires on most console -yes? So why should the Gamecube's be different. Get the parents to help if your worried, but there covered up in plastic so they wont electricute you!!!

If people can't figure out how to open a games console then they shouldn't be playing them in the first place.
Next we'll get people who can't figure out that the button marked power turns it on...

You people arent to used to sarcasm i think what goatyboy was getting at was the game cube is ment for kids ie "As most Nintendo fans are of a similar age and ability"
and "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."
As I am 20 i have disagree and say "eat my shorts"
(also people the "easy-to-bait-.com" should have been a dead give-away)

The Gamecube though won't be intended for the young ones- The 64 was, we admit, but it weas the odd one out- Gamcube will have games to please all ages.

The wires that would fit into the GC would be made so that they can only be fitted into a caertain socket so you couldn't exactly get them mixed up could you!

Anyone know anything about the new Zelda game on Gamecube?
Storyline?
Setting?
Is princes Zelda actually in it?
Anything really
Thanks

Theres nothing wrong with the Gamecube! I havn't seen many pictures of it, but it looks pretty smart.
Judging on looks?
I think that Nintendo will have more than just a box to please it's customers, the GBA and many other aplications will be able to fix onto the Gamecube, it should be pretty good.
