I've been reading through a load of issues of N64 Mag and other stuff and my own knmowledge of GameCube to make up a list of GameCubes bad points.

1. It's purple. T.V's are always black or silver. Not a nice combination.

2. The infrared controller without a wire, the one they call Wavebird is great to use, untilyour dog goes and sits right in front of the console!

3. It's too small. What do I fill the gap in my cabinet with?

4. err.....

5. hmmm...

I don't think you've got any valid reasons there. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the purple GCN ever sees the light of day! There's nothing wrong with it being small either. Finally, your complaint about the wireless comtroller is pretty pathetic!

Has your pup ever left you a present on the controller before?

I read that Nintendo had decided not to make the GameCube in different colours, only purple.

You don't really have 5 great reasons do you!

From recent pictures that I've seen , the GameCube's colour has changed slightly to a blueier colour. Also aren't they releasing multiple colours? They will have a black or silver one probably.

The wavebird controller? Its better for the dog to sit in front of the controller than to have it chew up all the cables which is what my new pup has done. I had to replace two N64 and one Dreamcast Controllers!
