Hey there, some of you may know me from the PS2 forum, but for those who don`t, I`m a loyal PS2 fan, and own a PSone and PS2. I also owned an N64, but it never really grabbed me like the PS.
Anyway, thats not the point, instead, I`m looking for a reason to buy, or not to buy a Gamecube. With the transfer of Resident Evil, and the fact that less then 99% of games will be for kids this time round, plus the fact that SR are selling it at under £130 I had begun to wonder if two could really be company.
The arrival of the X-Box did nothing to tempt me, and the price drop actually put me off even more. However, I am a major Star Wars fan, so with things like Rogue Squadron on GC, the Gamecube is looking strong.
I must point out that the GC would never replace the PS2 as my number 1 console in this generation, but if the price is right, I may look into it once I`ve got plenty of work, and therefore pay, over the summer.
Further points to mention - Mario is not an incentive to buy, and neither is Zelda. Rare are, but I have already considered this, and believe this to be relatively unimportant due to Free Radical and the possibility of Rare going multi-format.
Anyway, if any of you guys have any really good reasons to buy, or not to buy the GC, then please let me know.

If you've got the money just buy the GameCube!!! Do it... now!
Go on! Get a Gamecube!
Its so tiny as well :) Loads of space for it next to your PS2. And it doesnt leave a deep hole in your pocket :)
Gamecube offers quite a wide selection of games and differentiates quite a bit from X-box/PS2.

Just like to say that in my opinion, Free Radical are certainly not a 'replacemnet' for Rare. They are just a poorer (but still good) alternative.
Well I think that Nintendo has a lot of games to offer that aren't coming out on the PS2 or Xbox. You say that Zelda and Mario don't appeal to you, fair enough. Their are games such as Star Wars Rouge Leader, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, Starfox Adventures, Perfect Dark (although it's by Rare), Mario Kart and plenty of others. As you said yourself the price is also very appealing, especially now that it's at £130! I'm getting, for £200 the GC+controller, Luigi's Mansion, Star Wars Rouge Leader and an offical memory card, what a deal!
Being honest if you can afford it then the Gamecube is well worth it, especially at the current price. I also think that with your PS2 you'll have the best choice of games avaliable!
Hope I've helped!
