"what do you think of the 5" portable screen for the cube?"

it look good and the ciggy lighter in your car is said to power both the cube and the screen but dont play without the engine running or youl have a flat battery but perfect for a long journey!

if you could find somewere to put the dam cube, it would rock in car journeys. not like that daewoo car with the ps2 in it. by the time you get to were your'e going, it has just loaded your game menue screen.

In the Gamcube perhaps!?

you could buy a gamecube backpack that fits everything inside

hmm dont think i would get that

it would feel a bit silly and annoying having a gamecube in between your legs (so to speak) when playing it in the car

I'm sure that portable screen is made by the same third party who made the portable screens for PSOne

Yeah, isn't it Panasonic or someone?? Like the GameBoy screens.

But Nintendo have created the GameCube so the screen can be added. So surely they have a big part to play in the money-making process!

The portable screen isn't made by Nintendo.

I think that the 5" portable screen will be an amazing piece of kit for long journeys while running on the ciggy lighter, but on the other hand it is a bit pricey. (£100)
I totally agree with solsjkaer_24.

Another way to mkae money out of us? WHAT DO ALL COMPANIES DO? Every western commercial business wants money out of the consumer, but Nintendo are less bad, as they provide real quality with the price - XBox for £300? No thanks

I think it's just another way for Nintendo to try and make money out of us, especially the younger generation who have high interests in things like this.

I personally don't like it and think it's a bad idea that very few people will take into.
Did it do brilliantly with Sony's PSOne idea?? No. Although it did attract attention many people were saving up for PS2's at the time, and would prefer to be buying new Sony TV's rather then small portable screens.

Like i've said before, you can get a decent TV for less than £100 so why bother with something that's smaller and costs more???
