What's all this Cube stuff worth?

Need to know how much all this Cube kit is. Not selling cos I dunno how much it is. Quite a few games, 2 controllers and a memory card.

Black PAL Gamecube with AV lead with a scart part for a scart socket

Black Official Controller

Black Unofficial Controller

59 Block Memory Card

Games:

XIII
Zelda Wind Waker without Bonus Disc
Zelda Collector's Edition Disc
Star Wars Rogue Leader
Star Wars Clone Wars
Super Smash Bros Melee - Player's Choice
Starfox Adventures - Not Player's Choice

Why am I asking for a price tag? My Dad's made me jealous with his XBox and has showed me how decent they are. I wanna go XBox live and get PGR2. Free with an Xbox! So you can get Console, controller, Halo, MM3, XBox Live 2 month trial and PGR2 for £139.99! My Dad's got the GTA Double Pak and I LOVE Vice City but I just can't get on his XBox enough... He's also trying to get KOTOR *drools* and Grabbed By The Ghoulies *drools even more.* Any help would be appreciated!

I reckon hardware wise £60 tops and same for games so £120 ish
so quite close to an XBOX but what would the point be in having 2 Xboxes in one house? I have a PS2 and cube in the room and i tell you what gets used more? THe cube great social games Double dash & SMB1/2
I think you should just go really easy on the old man, fetch his pipe and slippers for a couple of days he'll soon let you use his Xbox.
Wonder how much my cube stuff is worth?????
I will be getting an Xbox almsot exclusively for retro gaming tho!

I would say about 100 quid, you can buy a brand new GC with 4 games for 100 quid from Toys R Us.

You need to make your mind up i_like_it_cube and/or get a job to fuel all this gaming

Why not just play on your dads X-Box?

*ducks out of the way of Armybloke*

You can get Cube bundles for £100!? Ah damn... Looks like no 2nd XBox in our house then... Ah well, I'll just have to get my Dad to get a 2nd controller and a decent party game. PGR2 will be good enough. We've got the XBox Live trial we just want a Headset now. Well, I want a headset now. Meh, keep me Cube and try and get MK DD (again.) It's such a class game!

I agree i have a PS2 and Gamecube, one in bedroom and one in lounge and i must Say the GC has won hands down over Christmas. Mario Cart is excellent and its keep me entertained. Although one GT4 comes out on the PS2 i reckon that will take over for a bit.

Keep the gamecube and when u got the cash treat yourself to a new game, i managed to get Super Monkey Ball Second hand from game for 12 quid so keep an eye out there are plenty of bargains on the cube, especially on ebay.

Untill you can afford a new Console just wear out your Dads console, he has gotta work sometime - ;0)

Have to disagree there.

IMO the new mario kart is the worst yet. Worse than the N64 one and a million miles behind the Snes version.

The games i've played over xmas are smb2, top spin, amped 2 and now PGR2

The new MK is a strange one, at first my mate an avid fan of the N64 (which I hated) and of course the SNES (which is still the best) swore that the new MK was not very good.

However, he played it for a bit and now thinks it is amazingly good much better than the N64 version. It really shines through in multiplayer and has done away with the awful catch up in the N64 version. There is still a slight help, but someone skillful at the game will win hands down everytime.

Have you played the SNES version recently(i still have a working SNES with MC under my bed), im sorry but i prefer the new one.......

At the end of the day we all play and like different games. If we all liked the same thing Gaming would be very boring.

As Sinzer says each to there own.

What my totally mint SNES still with original box, 2 pads and 5 games. I shall think about it.

P.S. in one of my previous posts i said that mario cart won hands down over Christmas that was just what console i was using over Christmas the most between my ps2 and GC. I guess it could also come across that i was saying the MC on the GC was better then anything else this Christmas on ALL consoles and so i apologise for that, as i was just talking about me...

I have to agree, MK DD just keeps growing on ya, we all had a right blast over XMAS played for hours, really is superb in multiplayer nothing comes close
