Gimme a good reason why I shouldn't get rid of my Gamecube

[i_like_it_cube]

I am starting to grow out of my little Gamecube. 15 and still growing, that's me. I wanna get a PS2. Had one, traded for my Cube and I regret it... I wanna get GTA, GT, Tekken and loads of other games that are better on the PS2. Especially the Tony Hawk games. The PS2 is the only console that is best with the Tony Hawk games. I live for them! I can ACTUALLY go online with a PS2 cos the Gamecube Network adapters can be a tad expensive and rare. Plus there's practically no online games on the Cube. So tell me, why should I get rid of the Gamecube?

As it happens, I think my GC is awesome and would never swap it but each to their own.

The GC network adaptors are for creating a LAN so you'll need several in the same locality to make use of it. How can 16-player Mario Kart on 8 different screens be a bad thing?! There's quite a few games that can utilise it, but there's no "online" capability as such.

Edit: Without using Warp Tunnel to create the same effect.

i_like_xbox!?!?

the quality of games on xbox is sooooo much better than the PS2 not to mention the graphics... (even with component cable i cant cope with ps2 graphics) i have all three machines and can assure you that recently i have bought tons of quality titles on the xbox. XIII, rainbow six 3, midtown madness 2, topspin, freedom fighters etc and each title cost under £20! (A couple were £12.99 brand spanking new) you can get tony hawks on xbox and project gotham 2 is sweeeeeeeeeeter than gt. also gta3 and vice city have arrived on xbox. the only genre its lacking is a decent footy game but i'm guessing that its only a matter of time.................... keep your cube cos its gonna go the way of dreamcast.... (hang on to it man!?!?!?) and get an xbox.....

Meh, no need for an Xbox. Me Dad's got one.

EDIT: And why would I wanna keep a Cube with such rubbish games!? Eg, Starfox, Star Wars ROgue Leader, Zelda WW, Zelda Collector's Edition disc and XIII. XIII is just driving me UP the wall right now.

Ignore him - he's bored. To long off school.

(I'm Dad BTW...)

Okay lads, decided to keep. Can anyone just gimme a good site for import games? It's just that I found this site that has a freeloader for £3.99. It's the latest version too! Preferably looking for a site with cheap games and low import taxes. Meh, I have to admit, the Gamecube does have quite a few games to look forward to. Plus I'd only regret it cos I love me Zelda games.

http://www.goblindirect.com/
thats a pretty good site, a little pricey to start but the more you buy the cheaper the prices get !!!
you gain points for each buy, if you want you can use the points to get money off next buy. (144 points = £1.44 off next)
or you can save up points to just get a load of free games all at once :D
this site is only good for imports so i suggest buying released games from local stores

i_like_it_cube: i feel the same as you having owned the ps2 with some cool titles with it, now ive got a gamecube and just feel its lacking something and am now trying to get a ps2 back under my tv. could you share the site that you got the freeloader from as getting cheaper games would be a cool thing for my gamecube and may put a little life back into the machine.
also try looking at www.lik-sang.com as they have some us and jap games pretty cheap and they seem to go at good prices on ebay as alot of people dont seem bothered about us titles, but im gaggin to know where you got the freeloader from

[i_like_it_cube]

Well I haven't bought the Freeloader yet but it's at http://www.goblindirect.com/MainCont...tCat=GameCube. I'd like to know the shipping cost that Lik-Sang has please. So with goblindirect, your saying that if I buy a game that's £34.99, the games that are the same price will get cheaper? You're confusing me.

H4r7y: Don't get another PS2. If there's a next generation console to buy other than the Cube, it's an XBox. My Dad just ordered the GTA double pak so I'm happy! ^^ There's so many good games! Don't waste money on a console where most of the games are on either the Cube or XBox.

[H4r7y]

thanks alot for the link to the freeloader, im still not convinced that its worth having an xbox if you have a decent pc as all the games just seem to be ported over to the xbox. im open to other ideas but i think, right now that its a false economy.

[H4r7y]

also lik sang dont charge delivery on the gc games

I can't think of any good reasons not to get rid of your Gamecube.

I actually gave mine to my mother as I was literally never playing it.

There aren't enough hours in the day to play the games on my PS2, XBox and PC. And the PS2 is only ever used when I play on the Eyetoy with my eldest son.

and project gotham 2 is sweeeeeeeeeeter than gt.

er..no it's not, gt is a simulator more than an arcade game. GT also has official licencing from the car manufacturers themselves rather than relying on the programmers best guess.
The nearest game equivalent to project gotham 2 on the ps2 is "penny racers" (both in realism and gameplay)
