kinda cool, but in my eyes kinda pointless as i thot the controller was a pile of poo, a big fat pile of poo at that...but hey...this guy seems to like it...

I personally really like the gamecube controller. The XBox controller is awkward, and the PS2 controller bothers my thumb after a while and the screw holes behind my left hand bother me after a while too. But I have yet to find a flaw with the gamecube controller...barring that it might be a tad small for people with large hands.

i agree, i have pre-ordered my gamecube...gotta wait till the 3rd of may to get it tho....i love the controller, it just fits in ur hand...and the analogue buttons are excellent...they way the resist inwards and then click in...best controller i have seen so far...

That is why you get the Black one, to go into your entertainment rack. :D

Luigi's mansion rules. It is hella stupid fun. (just rented it, gonna have to buy it)

[NorthernYankee]

Yeah but Purple is my favorite color:D

Get a purple entertainment system then. Geez, you are the kind of person who cannot get the drapes to match your iMACARONI. ;) :D :D

And I bet it's not OC'ed, and you keep it hidden from your kin, too :p

the one i have ordered is a black one:) , i wasnt too sure about Luigi's Mansion, was going for Star Wars as i never owned the 1st Rogue Squadron game, and as for a second game it has to be a racing game of sorts but there doesnt seem to be much set for launch...also those of you who have one will know that the lil power light on the top is orange...wot do u think are the chances of being able to mod it to make it blue???

Should be pretty easy. The top of the machine is not colored, so you would need to get a diffuse lamp for it.

And they dropped the price of the GC in the island. You should be pretty happy Nitan. When there are good racing games, it will be like the Dreamcast all over again. Nothing like Tokyo 2 on an analog controller(and I don't wanna hear no Bulls#it about the Playstation 2 being analog. 1/8 '' of throw is not control)

Oh, I love the little POWERED BY ATi sticker that they have on it. Funny. ATi bought the company that made the Gfx chip, so ATi is gonna make FATTY profits from the GC.

When you say they have dropped the price on the "island" where do you mean???... sorry this is a silly question...also i did not realise the DC had analogue controllers...also i agree...the PS2 analogue buttons are a little bit of a joke, but the GC ones are sweet...

Yup GC prices have dropped for you guys.
