What, when you buy a Gamecube, would you like to be included in the box?

I want:
A silver Gamecube.
One silver wavebird controller (Wireless).
One memory card (64meg).
A Broadband modem.
A Mario 128 demo / demo disc of upcoming games.

This will cost £149.99

Of course this is just my idea, trying to control my wait for the damn thing, and anyone can add to this what they want in the box too.

I want Metriod as well...

Oh yeah you won't need four controllers if your mates have a GC! That's means you can play 4 player games still!

Oh yeah. £299. I suppose if you tried to get it on auctions, then it would be £400.

Lets try and work it out then.

£150 - Console and 1 controller.

£60 - Three controllers.

£140 - Four games, £35 each.

£30 - Modem

£20 - 64MB Mem card.

Adds up to...

Exactly £400... How did I do that?

And you can get one PS2 with a controller, for all of the above. Shows really how expensive the PS2 really is...

For once, I shall be nice.

The Dreamcast is the Sega console, and it's pretty decent.

The Gamecube has not yet been released, and is quite superior to the PS2 in any way you can think of, apart from amount of games. As the Gamecube has none, as of the moment.

You can look at news and pictures of the gamecube at www.ign.com, and click on Gamecube on the left hand side of the screen, on the menu bar. Have a look through some of the arcticles there to get some idea of the Gamecube.

Hello guys:
I am a PSX fan, but I have to say Nintendo was the first one to come up with the Dreamcast, which offered way better grahpics than PSX. However, now that the Playstation 2 is out, it really puts Dreamcast to shame. Correct me if I'm wrong, PS2 is basically like playing DVD games, and Dreamcast is like playing VCD games expect with sharper picture.
I really don't know much abuot the TechSpecs, but looking at my game informer it says that the CPU on a PS2 is 300mhz. It would be great if there was a chart comparing the two systems. Sometime next month, I am planing to buy a new gaming system. The PS2 looks very tempting but if the Gamecube will be better. I'd rather wait. If anyone can tell me and honor their word which system is better, please E-mail me at [email protected].
PS2 has some really nice games..do you think Nintendo can beat that?

A great idea but I doubt you'll get it for less than £250.

Still Nintendo, If you're seriously thinking about competing with Sony...

Good point, but when we buy the console, we won't care about waiting for it any more.
