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

I think people who call the GC a toy are very shallow minded and I think your missing thr whole point of the GC, who cares if it can't play CD's there yesterdays technology anyway and as for the price it's cheaper than both the xbox and the PS2 and the games rule, so I really don't see what you have to complain about... apart form the release date that is :)
