Does anyone think a gamecube, 6 games, 2 controllers and a memory card for £400 is a good deal?

And does anyone know if US machines will ever be able to play PAL games?

heres you answer:

1.) Yea i do think its a good price but after playing the 6 games, you need more, but'll you have to buy import games...Which cost even more.

2.) No! this Will never happened, If it didn't happened to SNES and N64, then it'll be highly unlikly, You can only play PAL games on Europen and Austrailan Gamecubes. if you buy a USA gamecube, You have to buy Import games all the time.

I think its a good deal, what are the games?

rogue leader, luigis mansion, wave race, madden 2002, monkey ball and smash bros.

That is an awesome deal! Who's offering you it?

Thats a really good deal, you'd be mad to sell all that for such a low price.

It sounds like a good deal if you have the money to eat afterwards. I'd still wait for a pal cube to be honest though, but i'm pretty wary of the hassle.

It was on ebay, but i was outbid with 3 mins 30 secs to go, shocking.

I guess this is a slightly moot point now as you’ve been out bid for the Cube but the chances of a US GameCube being chipped to play UK and Jap games is pretty much certain. In fact I spotted a US import company who are offering the Panasonic Game Cube that has been modified to play both US and Jap games, plus all region DVD’s – how cool is that.

So I’d imagine when the UK machine is FINALLY released it won’t take long (prolly about 24 hrs) until someone slightly tweaks the chip to play UK games as well.
In fact I must say that the deal on the Panasonic G-Cube was quite good, and when they’ve modified it to play UK games as well as US and Jap games I may buy one!

By-the-way it was like £450 – not bad eh?!
