I feel so wrong,
I feel so blank,
I own the Gamecube and that rocks.
Recently, I just brought an XBox.
However, don't worry, it was extremeley cheap and the only reason I have this one (had one before but got money instead) is to complete Halo....
...sadly! Halo isn't all that good, I seriously am giving it chances, but I don't like shooting aliens that talk and sing. They call Nintendo childish! Its like shooting a deformed child.
Keep you up-to-date, I am giving it a chance, because a year ago I decided to give the PS2 a chance.
Today I played Smash Bros for six hours with mates, and Halo for 20 minutes.
Says it all.

Only if you leave it on pause.
Its the same with plasma screens. It damages them as well.
I just don't pause?!

Rogue leader isnt dolby digital. Its dolby pro logic 2. Which leads me to believe thats the system which GameCube uses?

It doesnt damage the console it damages the phosphor in the projector, it leaves a permanent burn mark.

Ok, thanks. Not as good as what I would've liked, but it's better than stereo.

I used it on my first day owning it in London on a 74'' projection.
It was perfect. How the hell can it damage the console when its just going 'video in' and stereo in 'L&R' to the projector.
Stupid manual.

Stupid manual.
I'm pretty sure the GC is Dolby Pro Logic though i'm not sure.
Dolby Digital I beleive. Rogue Leader rocks with surround sound!
In my bedroom I have:
Hi Fi
PC
Cambridge SoundWorks Surround sound speakers for PC
Yamaha Dolby Digital 5.1 system
LG Flatron 21 inch TV
VCR
PS2 (DVD player)
Xbox
And hopefully some day a Gamecube.
I would like a bigger TV, but I only got this one last year, so I want to get the most out of it. We have a 28 Inch widescreen downstairs, but I can't be arsed to move my consoles downstairs as I have them hooked up to all sorts of stuff for perfect gaming.
Now I'm saving for a GC. At that price, I can't refuse. Anyone know how it goes in terms of surround sound? Does it have Dolby Digital? Pro logic? Just stereo?
