I've been thinking... and in total, my GameCube launch Set-Up will cost me:

GameCube - £200

Controller 1 (Black) - Free (In Pack)
Controller 2 (Purple) - £30
Controller 3 (Orange) - £30
Controller 4 (Silver WaveBird [Import - If Available]) - £50

Luigi's Mansion - £40
PIKMIN - £40
SSB Melee - £40
Super Monkey Ball - £40

There... a nice round figure @...

£470!!!!!!!!

Damn... I better star winning some more games! ^_^

My PS2 was actually cheaper... kind of.

I traded in some old DC Stuff, because my DC was broken, and so I only had to pay

£155 for a PS2 with GTA3.
I traded in Krazy Racers (GBA) and added £5 for a second control pad
I paid £34.99 for SSX Tricky
Got Pro Evo Free
Jak and Daxter free
I'm getting SOE free
MGS2 free and Wipeout Fusion free... all GAD's... :)

So, although I won a most of my PS2 games... it was actually cheaper..

But £470, for a toy that doesn't even play CD's... you think i'm getting ripped off? :D

£350 and a 10% deposit. So you could get an X-Box, extra controller and a game, and only pay 10% and then pay the rest off 6 months later.
