Mikeo22 · 10-29-2007, 06:28 PM

phillepino · 10-29-2007, 06:38 PM

dude, what games you got?!

i want some games ^^

krisv2010 · 10-29-2007, 06:44 PM

well i'd say you'll get around 10 bucks for it, since gamestop is selling them for $39.99 and when i traded in my GBASP which they're selling for $59.99, i only got $20.00 for it but they were having an extra $20 dollar trade in that day so i got 40. if i was you i'd just box it up and put it in a closet or something and maybe one day it will be worth something.

thas · 10-29-2007, 06:56 PM

by the looks of it the price of old gaming consoles are only going down. and i dont see anyone making a museum for gaming anytime soon.

Mikeo22 · 10-29-2007, 06:59 PM

ummm buddy they already have a museum its called nintendo world store. sweet place my friend sweet place.

Bridgemute · 10-29-2007, 07:39 PM

Its fun to keep old game stuff. I've kept everything. Every nintendo system except virtual boy. and hundreds of games...and sweet nintendo signs

FRuMMaGe · 10-30-2007, 06:59 AM

Yeah I still have my NES from when I was 10. But to be fair, the gamecube really isnt that collectible.

What I do with stuff like that is customise them! I took apart my Gameboy Color and pimped it out with a nice black spraypaint. If you don't need the console any more it doesnt matter if you mess up

very true...my game cube looks like it was a night club with all the flashin lights comin out of it...

Paulpro · 10-30-2007, 03:48 PM

I gave gave mine away to my sister... then I think she broke it or something before I had a chance to give it to my friend...

newiiman · 10-30-2007, 07:54 PM

yo! the best thing you could to is just keep it !..... totally not worth selling. keep if for your grand kids or something. they'll be like ' wow grandpa.. are you really that old?'

gunsnroses · 10-31-2007, 12:51 AM

haha wow granpa

I actually still use my GCN even though I have a Wii. It loads the games faster because you don't have to deal with the wii remote and going through the Wii channel to get to the game. Usually my Wii is tucked under my TV in the living room, so if I were to use the GCN ports to play GCN games I'd have to move it. The GCN keeps me from having to keep constantly moving my Wii.

If your family is anything like mine, it's also nice to have the extra system when family comes over and completely overtakes my Wii. I then have a back up system which my OTHER family members can end up stealing and playing Donkey Konga 2 on....X_X At any rate, it's helpful to have the 'cube around when it becomes inconvenient to use your Wii, either because the TV's being used or because it's being used by other people, and it loads a lot faster than the Wii on start up. So I'd recommend just keeping it.

If you REALLY need a reason, get the gameboy player. That only works for the 'cube and will make your cube a lot more useful.
