I've just read that Gamecue will be dropping in price (in America) from $200 to $149.

That is roughly £102. Is this just an American thing or can we expect to get a Gamecube for EVEN cheaper.

P.S. Are their any rumours on PS2 and XBOX price drops at all?

I'm not quite sure that you really mean MINIMUM. Read on...

Fair Enough, though I got mine for 10% off, so £117. Comes with an official controller

> One official controller from SR - £24.99

What do you need two official controllers for? You can get some for £10

> Logic 3 ProPad SR - £14.99

Again, what's wrong with the £10 one? Even if you have two friends to play with, your 2 official and 1 £14.99 are rather pointless, when you can buy 2 for £20

> 4 Games from play.com or SR - £120 min!

Well, probably more than that. But you could start with ONE or TWO. Not FOUR. Minimum? I don't think so.

Haven't you got a SCART TV? OK, fine, that's not too expensive.

> Extras
> LCD screen - £99.99

If you're buying an RF switch for your TV, what do you want this for?

> Soundstation 3 - £34.99

You don't NEED this

> including the extras!

Well, actually, my minimum comes to £185. One GC, one game, and RF switch. Maybe you want more, but £300 is not a minimum!

Well, sure. If you want 4 games, a screen....

Red Card is a football game with difference. It doesn't really have many rules and the whole idea is to use dirty tackles, punches and stuff to knock the other team out and score, instead of trying to just steal the ball. I suppose its like a football version of Speedball if you've ever played that (great game). I won't get it cause I hate football and sports in general but..

I was trying to decide whether to get ISS2 but Red Card just looked different and fun. It's still a good football game,(from what I have read)

Still a lot of money! But I'll con my sister into paying half of it!

Does anybody know if Red Card soccer is any good? Sounds fun!
