"Should i buy a second hand N64 or some of the great upcoming GC & PS2 games?"

I really wanna play Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong 64 & Conker's Bad Fur Day. But there are loads of great games coming out for the PS2 & GameCube this Christmas, and i don't know whether to get a second hand N64 & games and less of the PS2 & GC games, or just the PS2 & GC games. I live in the UK by the way. Second hand N64s cost about £20 (if i'm right, about $30), & the above games anywhere from £15 - £30 (again, if i've got it right about $24 - $45). If i get an N64, which of the above games should i get with it?

It depends if you really want the N64 games, if you do buy them because they are getting very rare.

But if your not bothered get the GC and PS2 games.

i just bought another n64 ... why you ask , well i dont really know. I was looking on ebay for n64 after the guy that wrote this topic said about it , and i found one with no leads or anything not even a jumper pack just as a spare console (i can put my old jumper pack in it) and i got it for £7.50 , i didn't really think at the time ,i just bid to see if i would get it , and i did which i feel a bit stupid at doing now :( Seeing as i could have used that money torwards a new wavebird or something. DOH ! (im watching the simpsons while im writting this)

pahh! 2nd hand N64 games don't cost that much!

Most of the ones I get cost around 3-5! And there pretty decent games to!

Put it this way, I've seen games like Goldeneye, an absolutely fantastic game, and a reason alone to buy an N64, for as little as £3

Get an N64! For the price of 1 Cube game, you could buy an N64 and a bunch of gr8 games!

go to this auction :

remove space

i forgot to mention that ebay is an auction site , and people from all over the world sell stuff. What you do is type in the thing that you want to buy in the search box , and then it will come up with a list of those items that people are selling. Then you bid how much you'd like to pay and hope that no-one bids more than you , if they do then you bid a bit more or go and find another game. And dont worry about the people not sending your stuff , and every thing that i have bought has come without trouble.

good luck with getting your n64.
here's a link to an n64 so that you know how it works and what to expect...

actually here is a list of things that one particular seller is selling :

go to ebay, dont go to online shops as they cost to much , while at www.ebay.co.uk you can get the best games from about £5 upwards or less , and try game , they have a good selection in their second hand trays , you can pick up goldeneye for £9.99 ! which i almost did but then didn't.

also , if your going to sign up at ebay , please (begs on the floor) go to my site bobsav.members.easyspace.com (it's just a banner site i out together) and click on one of the ebay links on the first page and then go to sign up and sign up without leaving the site. I just want to see if it actually works , because i signed up another account using my banner and nothing happened (i should have earned some money :)) so i just want to see if it's a con or if i really do get some commision.
thanks :)

I could sell you my N64, out of the games you mentioned I have Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo Kazooie. How does £50 sound?

Where can i buy the games that cheap!?!?!?!?!?!? When i look at second hand games on web sites, they start at about £15 and go up to £30!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, ignore the American dollars prices i put in the original post. I originally posted this topic on an American message board, hence why i put the prices in dollars, & i copied & pasted it to here, forgetting to get rid of the American currency

Get a N64 as one would cost £20, then the second hand games are between £3 and £15 (In good shops anyway), most games being £5. If you get a 5 games it may ony add up to £50. GC and PS2 games cost £40 (full price).
