What do you think of the large, black handle on the cube?
UGLY?, USEFUL?, DETACHABLE?.. :)

just think , it could become a designer handbag for a few lipstick tubes for women ! they could carry it by the handle and have whatever they havein their normal bags , they could put it in the GC disc compartment ;-)

COurse, if you bought a case for it, you'll be able to carry some games and accessories for it as well, not forgetting the power adaptor you need to play it in the first place!

it's the best idea anyones ever had !!
when i first saw it i thought it was a stupid idea , but now that i have a gamecube , the first thing that i touched when i took it out of the box was the carry handle , when you move it around the house , you can hold more wires and plugs than ever before because you only need one finger on the handle.
It does look a bit stupid , but if it didn't have it , the gamecube would be missing something , as i feel the handle finishes off the design , it adds some curveyness to the sharp edged cube , which makes it look even better.

Could be handy if you're carrying it between telly's...

I think it's just meant to be there as a fashion statement. The Japanese like all the tiny little extras they can get their mits on, so this isn't much of a suprise.

Anyway, they had to make the cost of it up to a decent amount to make profits somehow didn't they.

i dont think its that bad, but it doues seem pointless in the extreeme. if your gonna carry it any amount long enough to need a handle it's gonna be outside and you will look like a gimp walking arond with a cube'
