Im ordering a Cube on Wednesday and will probably get it for the Weekend!
Are there any decent bundles I should check out before I go and buy it on SR?
I've got £150 to blow so what games should I get? (Not WW because I've already completed it at my mates house).
Harvest Moon 2 looks good, whats it about?
That is all.

Are you saying Halo is better or Metroid and why are they not similar?
Metroid Prime is nothing like Halo.
Fact.
It's like saying Cheese is like bread - yeah, they're both food, but they're completely different types of food..

Yeah, is this the new Memory Card I keep seeing everywhere?

I have had a Cube before and had Metroid Prime, I played it a little bit but because I had WW at the time I was playing that more. Metroid Prime is a great game from what i've played of it but I doubt I will play it often because I have Halo on my Xbox that (IMO) is very similar.

I love Timesplitters 2, I will do the Single PLayer missions but i'll probably spend most time on the Multiplayer Mode (the mode where yiou dont need two controllers because your against loads of computer players). Again, i've played a bit of Rouge Leader and loved it but because of WW I didn't play it alot.

This Harvest Moon game is starting to remind me of The Sims, which is a bad thing in my case because it used to take up all of my time and actually caused me to do bad in my Year 7 exams. My dad is getting paid next Weekend so i'll just ask him for some money then (hes like that) and use part of the £57 to get Mario Kart DD sometime, or i'll just save it up for later on in the year, I just need to get my Gamecube first then think about these things, thanks for the advice. When I had my Cube (begginning of last year) I also had a PS2 and I was just playing two games non stop and forgetting about the otheres, these two games were WW and FFX. But because I have an Xbox now I dont have alot of RPGs and im always playing online so I decided to get a Cube for the times when I dont want to play online.

Get rid of Xmen and Mortal Kombat, and you've got a decent bundle. Who knows, maybe you'll even like Starfox Adventures.
You should get a 251 Memory card (official), and you don't have to bother with swapping them for the stupid games that only recognise the mem card in port A.
You should also get Pikmin at some point, but I wouldn't buy Harvest Moon just yet. Concentrate on Metroid Prime, as once you get into it it's fantastic. The people who don't like it are usually the people who don't spend enough time with it, and expect instant gratification. My suggestion would be to spend your money on some clothes (a nice pair of Jeans maybe - Next have some nice ones, and cheap, about £30), and sit down and properly play Metroid Prime. It's a wonderful game, and easily the best in your collection there, and you could complete it in a week no problem (if you're decent at games), but you might not have time to play your other games too much.
The only problem that I envisage you having is you will be so torn between playing Rogue Leader, Timesplitters and Metroid that you'll be disappointed with Metroid as it doesn't offer the instant thrills of the other two.
But my main advice would be not to buy Harvest Moon, as it will consume your life for the whole half term, and then you'll just forget about it.

I have just bought a bundle off of Ebay but I wont probably get it until next Saturday, thats good because I have the Half Term week off next week.
It come to a total of £93.00 and heres what was included :
Metroid Prime
Timesplitters 2
Starfox Advenures
Star Wars Rogue Leader
Lord of the Rings, The two towers
Mortal Kombat, Deadly Alliance
Xmen Next Dimension
Plus a demo disc of P.N.03
Two Memory Cards
Two Controllers
I think its worth the money, and i still have £57 for Harvest Moon 2 or Mario Kart Double Dash!
But I might use that £57 to get some clothes instead, as i haven't got any for a long time, long.

I'm going to have to agree here - despite the rare factor, and cut the novelty of milking Daisy it starts to wear thin - fast. Especially when you wife tells you to fill the fridge. I sold as soon as she said that.
Slow paced, and you have to realize, there are real farms out there - that harvest moon makes a mockery of.
[I]Get yourself Mario Kart, Twin snakes, and any players choice (Metriod, Smash Bros, Mario Sunshine [URL]http://uk.special.reserve.co.uk/reviews/customer.php?code=GC1830#DiscoDexy[/URL] =D and even Mario party 4) - that should satisfy your multiplayer and single play needs.
[B]So get; Mario kart pak, with free Zelda disc, twin snakes, and a player’s choice would bring it exactly to 150 quid, minus a few pennies or pounds.

Don't get Harvest Moon is you expect to be able to marry the tramp, butcher / touch your animals, kill hippies or sow the seeds of madness among the villagers.
I was sadly dissapointed.
