I got the Jet Black Cube with an extra controller, a memory card, and Rouge Leader 2. I rented Super Smash Bros Melee and Pikmin yesterday so I'd have more than one game to play all week. I'm so impressed with the Gamecube, I love this little thing. The games kick ass too, the graphics are amazing and run at very fast framerates.

Did you know that if you bring in your reciept and show BlockBuster that you bought a GameCube or Xbox you can get a free one week video game rental for the system you bought.. I was told by a friend and will stop by Block Buster tomorrow. I got my GameCube today too, Indigo, memory card, extra controller, Wave Race: Blue Storm and Luigi's Mansion.. I started Luigi's Mansion but couldn't find out how to get out of the first room, so I started playing Wave Race.. Boy, what a game Wave Race is..

SSBM is the game for the Cube. RS2 is nice but I haven't really gotten into it yet. I'll be stopping by Blockbuster later this week also to pick up a free game. I got about $120 worth of gift cards to Circuit City so I'll be picking up SSBM and Pikmin for good this weekend. Both games are must haves for Cube owners. I'm also looking forward to playing SSX: Tricky. That should be a good game also.

Does this work with a PS2 or is it only for Gamecube and Xbox?

Cool, good choice Chris. Tell me if you think RL2 is worth getting once you play it more.

I have one but I rarely play games on it. I watch a ton of movies though.

I've played a few games on the PS2, but was wondering if the DVD is all that. Is it?

It is, but it's not worth $300. I'd just get a normal one.

RL2 is good, I played alot of it before I got the Cube (the demos). I'd get it if you can get a few games. I personally like SSBM and Pikmin more. They are just more fun to play really. I can't get over how different Pikmin is from every other game. Another classic from Nintendo.

I just bought a PS2 this Christmas. I am addicted to Grand Theft Auto 3 right now, and it's finally nice to have a decent DVD player I can use. My only other DVD player was in my computer and I hate watching DVD's on the monitor.

I got mine today also. Black with extra control and memory card. I got super smash bro's and wave race. My bro got GTA3 and Tony Hawk 3 for his PS2, so as soon as he's done playing GTA3, i'll trade him consoles until I beat it :)

I've got Rogue Leader, Luigi's Mansion, Monkey Ball, and Pikmin. Pikmin is the only game I've actually beaten yet. I couldn't really get into RL, I got to the very end of LM and lost interest, Monkey Ball is pretty cool but I suck at it, LOL! I love Pikmin though. Very original.

I just went and rented SSX: Tricky. It's pretty cool if you liked the first one. I was soon back to playing SSBM though;)

Cool!!! I want a gamecube!! Why buy an Xbox? Most of the games will be on PC anyway, and the only game that even interests me is Halo!! But the gamecube is off the hook!!! :D:D:D

I like the XBox too, I'll probably get one late next year if they keep coming out with great games. But I can't get over SSBM and Pikmin for my Cube, must have games!;)

I'm not saying that the Xbox isn't a good console, but where are the select titles that will be only on the Xbox? There aren't many!! Fighting games don't do anything for me. Racing games don't do anything for me either. Also, like I've said before if you look at the Xbox's future lineup, probably 60-70% are PC ports! Booooo!!! If I'm going to play a PC style game, I'll play it on my PC!! But the gamecube will have a ton of exclusive titles that can only be played on the gamecube!

:):):):):D

Right!!! You just don't want to admit it!!!

Correction on my last post: It should read, I'm not saying that the xbox isn't a bad console....
