I'm sure that many people have noticed the low low price of the Nintendo Gamecube at Argos in the past week, £79.99. Wow. It's cheaper than a Game boy Advance SP. But maybe there is a reason for this. Maybe the low price is because no-one, in they're right minds would want one. If a PS2, or an Xbox were the same price, I wouldn't even hesitate to stear right clear of the Gamecube.
The thing is, if you saw a Minidisc player for £30 in the Argos catalogue? really? or would a well knowing parent convice you otherwise. "No, it wont work properly", or "Why do you want one when you have a perfectly good...". Would you really?
It has comfortable controls, yes, and it is unbelievably small, yes! But why would you really want something that has 5 maximum good games, and has such a low price tag? why?

I say PS2.
Heh heh heh.
The big red fool.

Well 5 maximum good games is larger than the entire X-box catalogue.
Tell me sad JAT but what are these 5 games... I can only list 23 and all I have is 23.

Many people are buying Gamecube's because it's a great little console, but if it don't play GTA games then it must be crap right?, ptth dream on.
Oh wait, silly me.
It can't have been the PS2, because that has a ridiculously high price tag for a 3 year old neo toaster.

Thats in your opinion.
I feel the gamecube and Xbox have the best selection of games.

I was well aware that, that was a sad misplaced attack on the X-box...
But on a serious note has there been many X-box exclusives around since the launch of the console? We had loads to start with and now I can count Buffy, DOAXBV and Panzer Dragon... oh and house of the dead 3... and Crazy Taxi 3...
Ok ignore me.
