I am a proud owner of the PS2 and the Xbox and I would like to know what people's views on the Niniendo Game Cube because of all the messages of people saying it isn't that good and I would like to see how many thinks that and how many people thinks it good, and of course not forgeting I would like to read some of the arguements

The GameCube is a games console - nothing more, nothing less. Instead of pouring resources into making the console a home entertainment system, Nintendo have created the best gaming experience possible - with an impressive back catalogue to boot.

These 'extra features' are reflected in the prices. The GameCube is now £78.99 with a game and memory card from certain stores, whereas the Xbox is £159.99 and the PS2 is £179.99 with a game. Plus, the PS2's DVD is fairly crap - and to utilise the Xbox one, it takes a £20 add-on!

You know, I hate prats such as yourself.
A console.
For playing games on.
Not for DVD's, music CD's, or any other crap such as that.
For playing games on.
If you want useless capabilities such as the ones you suggested, get a DVD player.

I've never played Virtua Fighter 4, but calling Super Smash Bros. Melee simplistic is just completely and utterly wrong.

What? What about Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero, Super Monkey Ball 2, Rogue Leader, Wave Race? Not to mention the others I listed.. Read some reviews, there's loads of worthwhile games on the 'Cube.

Starfox is a dry tu*d of a game.
Cop yaself a feel of some Monkey Balls, now that's a good game.
