GameCube sales again rose in week-on-week comparisons, this time by a further 5%, no doubt buoyed by the release of the hotly anticipated Super Monkey Ball 2 and the continued success of Capcom’s Resident Evil 0.

Xbox slipped another 5%, a fact that has surprised many given the much-heralded launch of Xbox Live last week, and the media attention it gained.

At least you weren't one of those unlucky souls who bought JUST the Xbox for £300.00

I bought mine for £300.00. I don't consider myself unlucky.

It was worth every penny. The 2 games and controller that were added later was an added bonus.

If I didn't think it was worth £300, I wouldn't have bought it for that price.

Yeah, but it went down to £200.00 a few weeks later! What a rip!

I got £100 worth of accessories to cover it though.

And still the fact remains it was an added bonus for me. I bought it at £300, thinking that would be all I would get. And I was more than happy with that.

Then microsoft decided to give me 2 games and a controller. Excellent!

You're forgetting that the Xbox did so well around Christmas due to its tremendous drop in price. :-)

No, that is untrue. Enough said.

Relatively, it just isn't worth £299.99.

Oh yeah. Great. A choice of two games from a rubbish line-up and a controller. Ooo.. it was a rip-off.
