Latest reports on the most important aspect of the GAMECUBE, you don't HAVE to have it!

The handle will be an optional extra, costing $10, and will come in a range of materials including plastic and leather, as well as a number of colours and designs, including striped, dotted or plain, with the colours ranging from pink to purple and gold and silver.

Oops, my mistake! Well spotted SHEEPY. Damn £ and $ keys being next to each other.

Yep the console is $199 and the handle $10.

Hmmm so you buy it for £199 but then need to give $10 to get handle...

Why don't they make it all one curency? ;)

At least for your ten bucks you get more gameplay from the handle than you would from one of their games...

The handle doesn't come with any of the consoles.

They all cost £199, but you can buy the handle separately for $10.

Not that i really want the handle, but what is the point of making some console with it and some without it, then charging extra on the ones with it. Sounds a bit like a small case of money grabbing to me. I say this because obviously the cheaper consoles with out the handle will sell out first then other people will be forced to pay extra for the ones with the handle. Ok 10$ isn't all that much but times it by the number of peopl that will be forced to buy the cubes with handles and it will soon add up.

And for an extra $20, Goatboy Inc can supply you with a new product for it, known in the trade as a PLUG.

This until is plug and play compatible, comes with it's own power source and is easy to use.

Except for Nintendo owners, so get a grown up to help
