Gamecube is still going strong here in Canada. Plenty of GCs and GC games to go around. Strange that that's happening in the UK.

Yea it is weird even the big Supermarkets like ASDA which is owned by Walmart doesnt sell any Gamecube's or related software or accesories!!! :eek

Broomie how about down your end?

*Bromios looks at Gamecube*

*Looks away*

*Look back at Gamecube*

*A tear comes down Bromios' eye*

Can't wait to kick Debs ass on Super Smash Bros Melee, Mario Kart DD, Mario Party and (Insert Fun Multiplayer Title Here)!!!

Can't wait to kick (insert fiance's name here)'s ass on... is never a good way to start a sentence Angelus.

Broomie · #908 Post by **Broomie** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 8:53 pm

I've changed my mind! I want it back! :p

Btw, don't you have a GAME near you Angelus? Surely they sell Gamecube games in there.

Angelus3K · #909 Post by **Angelus3K** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 9:16 pm

lol @ QFG Fan.

Sure we have a GAME nearby, but I was wanting to try before I buy.

Way to go angelus!
You are now the proud owner of the second greatest gaming sytem known to man, only below the coming Revolution.

Broomie · #911 Post by **Broomie** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 1:42 am

If it was that great why would I sell it to him for Â£35? :p

Just kidding, I loved the Gamecube. I'll miss it but as Angelus said it's in good hands. Besides, my brother has one he rarely uses so I could always use that for past memories.

jpnuar1 · #912 Post by **jpnuar1** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:32 am

I don't suppose you know how much that is in American dollars, do you?

Brainiac · #913 Post by **Brainiac** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:38 am

The current exact exchange for pounds sterling to US dollars escapes me at the moment, but a good rule of thumb is to always add 50% when converting to USD (i.e. Â£1=$1.50). So basically, Â£35 is (roughly) $52.50.

jpnuar1 · #914 Post by **jpnuar1** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 3:59 am

Ah, ok. That sounds about right. Since here in the states, Cubes sell for only about $60 at gamestop, and they buy them for only $30... Considering that gap, Angelus, I'd say your communication score must be pretty low, if you're only saving 8 bucks, whereas bromios got an extra twenty two or so....... :p

According to XE.com, 35.00 GBP=62.2372 USD as of 2005.08.06 04:00:43 UTC. (1 GBP=1.77820 USD)

jpnuar1 · #916 Post by **jpnuar1** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 7:11 am

I don't know how much gamecubes go for in your area, what with the apparent shortage and all, but it sounds to me like you got ripped off, angelus.

But then, its a gamcube, so it was still worth it...

In other news, what games have you got for it so far? What with the supply/demand on your side of things, consider buying them from the states. It may end up cheaper that way then buying locally.....

Quest For Glory Fan · #917 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 8:29 am

Personally I'm a game-a-holic. I just can't live without gameahol. I have a PS2 that I've had for under a year and I found so many bargains I have 11 games for it and I haven't paid over 150CDN even if brand new games go for about 70 here.

I'd probably have more but my brother left his games here which are ok boosting me upto 20 or so titles on PS2. The only reason I did it so quickly because when my brother left for school again last Christams he stole my Gamecube and all my best titles from my 30+ selection and left his PS2 along with his 8 games and called it a fair trade...which is why I stole his Minidisk player right before he left ;)

On the topic of games though I have the DS but I barely lift it from the coffee table seeing as how I only have Mario64 for it and it doesn't look like anythings out that I'd want now. I found the DS challenging for myself being left handed but the cartridges are pretty cool.

Angelus3K · #918 Post by **Angelus3K** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 8:37 am

At the minute I just have what came with it which is Soul Calibur II (playing as Link rocks!) Wrestlemania 19, WWE Day of Reckoning and Time Splitters 2.

I plan on getting most of the Mario/Zelda games available as I hear they're all good.

But its only the dedicated game stores that sell Gamecube stuff round here. Other stores like Supermarkets, Blockbuster dont have any Gamecube products available.

I called up Blockbuster and asked why they dont have any GC stuff and they said that all the Blockbuster stores got an email saying to remove all GC stuff as it is going to be replaced (shelf space I assume) by the impending PSP.

Get Bomberman Generation\Jetters. It's Bomberman, so it's automatically too cool for school.

Angelus3K · #922 Post by **Angelus3K** » Sat Aug 06, 2005 12:42 pm

Good idea Jafar!

Just to show everyone I think Deb and I shall have a little match with Super Bomberman 5 on SNES later on.

Results and possibly video/pics will be taken!

LETS GET IT ON!

Quest For Glory Fan · #923 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 7:26 am

Again skimming through Angelus' post I got all the wrong ideas.

Good Idea. Just to show everyone I think Deb and I shall blah blah blah later on. blah blah Videos will be taken. LETS GET IT ON!

VampD3 · #924 Post by **VampD3** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 9:22 am

funny.

We haven't played anything yet, haven't had time! So I'll just have to kick his ass later today.

Brainiac · #925 Post by **Brainiac** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 2:37 am

Trust me QFGFan, you weren't the only one who noticed that unintentional double entendre. I PMed Angelus about it and told him to get a room.
