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
How much did you spend on Your latest console - (No handhelds!)?

Be greatful that they are generous enough to out of the kindess of their own hearts give away three games each day! I can't think of any other site that does that. If you can, please send me the web address ;)
Wow, that GC is going to be rather costly, but not so compared to what other consoles can reap in. You may be interested to know that for £400, you can get a GameCube, two controllers, a memory card and six games! Quite the bargain, you MUST agree!
Let's take a look at my expenses for my consoles (in theory, as they were four years ago, or whenever I purchased them)
PS1
2 Consoles - £315
Six Controllers - £90
Four Memory Cards - £40
Multi Tap - £20
Xplorer Cartridge - £25
Plus 40+ games that will not be accounted for :D
Total Price = £490
N64
Console - £45
Three Controllers - £30
Expansion Pack - £10
Xplorer Cartridge - £15
Plus 13-14 games that will not be accounted for.
Total Price = £100
Dreamcast
Console - £80
Four Controllers - £40
Two VMU's - £30
Plus 30+ games that will not be accounted for :D
Total Price = £150
This shows that Nintendo is the most economical console, and the PS1 being the most expensive, partly thanks to only having 2 controller slots :(
*Puts away calculator*
Sorry if this posted multiple times, as I fear it did. Let's see...
