the only reason i want one right now is for the wrestlemania X8 game and thats it.

maybe when a few more games come out that i want then it would be ok,

but do you think that i should get one?

So this game appeals to you then does it??
Maybe there are/will also be several other similar games to this one that will also interest you??
Can this game be found on any other format??
Did you like the N64 and other Nintendo consoles???
Do you like Nintendo games in general??

You need to ask yourself questions like these in order to determine wether the GameCube is right for you, or if you should go for something like the PS2 or X-box instead.

I'd say yes, but you should look at the games in general for each console to see what you like.

I think that's a wise choice to stick with what you already have. And it's also a good idea if you don't like any of Nintendo's other games besides wrestling.

But the Cube is the cheapest of the 3, so you may not be 'wasting your money' exactly.
Stick with your PS2 for now, and see what emerges in the future for the GameCube and this game.

well thats a good aspect of the GC that made me start to think of buying it,

its cheap release price.
it cant get better than that as i dont see it being reduced any more even in a couple years

I agree that the Cube's price shouldn't drop much over the next few years also - maybe not untill it nears the end - like the Dreamcast is now.
But I do think that PS2 will soon start to drop in price regularly to compete with the other 2 - and the fact that almost everyone will already have a PS2 within the next few months (but not me!). And it may even come down to £99.99 or lower in less than 2 years!!
And I also hope the X-box drops soon, so I can get one for a better price some time in the next year or so.#
But it probably won't, unless it does an N64 and drops in it's first year!!

Of course you should get a GC. Take it from me, because I have been fortunate enough to play on Star Wars Rogue Leader. And trust me the GC makes the PS2 look like a Snes. It may not be as powerful as the Xbox, but it's half the price and as most of the best games for the Xbox are coming out in the first couple of months, it's a fairly short term investment. Where as because the GC is made by Nintendo you know that good games will be coming out right up til the end.
P.S. I have just 2 words for you Resident Evil.

It was exactly the same for the PS2. By waiting for more games to come out, and the price of the console to come down, you'll get more of a treat when you actually make the purchase. That said, I don't tink Nintendo will cut the price of the GC anytime soon, unless the retailers deide to start a price war.
