Default Just bought a Gamecube.

Why oh why did I wait so long? This thing is tiny! And the discs! Like cup mats! Yeah I know it's 'old' but I just had to play Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.
OMG this game is beautiful. Oh and Rogue Squadron! How amazing is it! The graphics are jaw dropping! It's so good to be back in the Nintendo 'scene'.
Been away far too long......

Its a great little console. You have to get Resident Evil 4, amazing

At £45 for the console with Donkey Konga it would be rude not to IMO.

I'm thinking of a PS2 - is the X Box a viable (and somewhat cheaper) option or should I go for the Ps2. Decisions, decisions...

if you have one of these then the best thing you can do is get monkey ball and super smash bros and have 4 players on each.....fantastic.

If you can stretch to both go for it, the playsatation has GT4 and GTA:SA, and the Xbox for everything else.

Best deal I have seen is currently at Argos. I think it was £44.99 for the console, plus Donkey Konga and the drums Bargain

You must, and i mean MUST buy Mario Kart Double Dash. Get a few buddies round and watch the hours fly-by. Bowser and the little turtle guy are the true tag team.

Just got back from Argos

They have made an error & the package that was meant to come in didnt ! They only suppied one part of it !
Apparently they have 5 other customers that had the same problem & they are unable to get thepackage from anywhere else !
As it was ordered on the iternet they were unable to let customers know !

I told them that I was less than Impressed & they took my number & said they would look into it !

NOT GOOD !
