Dixons changed the cubes deals and price (if u read my other post). I got 4 games 3 controllers 1 memory card and the console for £279.99. Even better i can play it because the controller is small enough for me to hold (because my broken arm)!

I know the 'official' colour is indigo but, unlike Nintendo, I know what the colour indigo looks like and I've yet to see a GameCube in it.
By the way (just because I want to be evil), when I've bought 2 more games and a memory card (64Mb of course, for only £18 - the official ones aren't nearly big enough) I'll have the same setup as you but I'll have paid £40 less for it (not including free games either).

Purple Gamecubes don't exist. The official colour is indigo, mate. Oh, and on the receipt, they put all the games through at £39.99 and then deducted a tenner off each.

Indigo? The rest of us only had purple and black to choose from ;)
I reckon you've saved about £30 altogether (compared to buying things all at full price), but if you shopped around you could have bought everything seperately for a few quid less - admittedly not on the high street. Still, at least you've got one and that's what counts.

I paid £299.96 for mine from GAME, and this is what I got:
Indigo Gamecube
2 official controllers
1 official memory card
4 games of my choice (Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Leader, Super Monkey Ball and Wave Race: Blue Storm)
Not bad, I reckon.

My deal...
GameCube console
2nd official controller
Rogue Leader
Delivery (£3.95)
All for a total of £147.92 (including a 10% off online only promotion during April)
Before you start asking where from I should point out that it was quickly taken off of Currys website shortly after I ordered mine (probably because they realised it was far too good or they had mis-printed the price). It's been replaced with absolute rubbish offers that aren't even worth reading - which is much more like the Currys I know.

Luigi's mansion rules!!! Even if it doesnt take long to complete, it is perhaps one of the best games I have ever had. It is an amazing game. And as soon as I finnish it, i am gonna start all over again, its that good. I only have the final boss to beat now.
But once you finnish it once, it is different the next time around. Its harder and a different layout.
This is classic gaming. Yout really can't judge it until you have played it. And when you have played it you will love it.

Yeah but that's 4 games from a selection right?
One of them is Rogue Leader. And that's the only one worth owning.
The rest are ones like Bloody Roar and Burnout and other non-must-have titles. Admittedly Luigi's Mansion is in it, but even that isn't meant to be worth a purchase since it takes 4 hours to complete!!!
Or am I wrong and you actually got to choose ANY games?
