The people at Ninty have put something new into the GameCube! And guess what! It's to stop kids damaging the GameCube discs!

On the Playstation and Dreamcast, to take the disc out, you have to pull it. But on the GameCube they have added a special 'ejecter' button that lifts the disc up so it doesn't break. Hah! Who would be that clumsy?

Get one without batteries, I know the rumble isn't so good, but then you don't have to buy endless batteries!

if sony had put in an option to turn off rumbling it would have been better. it is a faint rumble though. u dont usually feel it if u r concentrating on a game.

Eat what exactley? Rumble PACKS! Not pads, I don't like either, they both put you off. So eat that Turbo man!

Yeah its good on games like that, it works really well on Perfect Dark and Goldeneye when you firing automatic weapons.

Not really. If you have the option to tur it off, then it's fine by me. Anyway, I was playing Red Faction on the PS2 recently, and I have to say, it's great jumping off higher floors to feel the buzz you get from the rumbles.

I have to admit the built in Rumble in the PS2s pads is good, but to be honest I really dont care if its implemented in the gamecube pad cause its annoying anyway.

Forget all these rumble packs they're absolute cack, even the dreamcast's was. The dual shock has it perfected and has 2 motors in each handle and is incredibly accurate and works well with nearly all the games, I hope the gamecube conroller has taken on the idea.
