Price of Gamecube

[sheepsteak]

Hi, I was just wondering whether anyone has imported a Gamecube from Japan (someone must have). If so would you reckon £325 is a good price for:

1 JAP Gamecube with Joypad
Luigi's Mansion
Wave Race
Memory Card
Stepdown Transformer
AV-Leads (S-Video)

Also free next day delivery!

Do think it is worth getting a JAP one now as I have heard there may be a shortage of US cubes at launch and hence a higher price for getting them to the UK.

Oh yeah another thing was if my TV can play PAL Dreamcast games at 60Hz with games that support it, does that mean TV can support a NTSC signal used by US/JAP GAmecubes?

Thanks in advance,
Sheepsteak

If you want a Japanese version then:

THIS is a very good company and cheap.

if youre gonna get anything other than a PS2, make it an xbox

looks wicked, then again its from that oh so small company called morcresift...i think

 

[bodhi]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Xbox is fucking shite.

 

[Sir Frizz]

have you played it??

 

[bodhi]

No, but those who have have come away very un-impressed. Think nice-ish graphics, substandard gameplay.

 

[Sir Frizz]

well mebe i'll wait till it develops like how the PS did and the PS2 is doing then...k?

both crap

 

[Sir Frizz]

how would you know, they arent out yet

 

[Moving Target]

haha! I have actually played them

 

[bodhi]

Wipeout Fusion will be the best game ever. Period.

 

[Embattle]

1 GC for me and I will wait since JAP will require different and more expensive sourcing.

 

[DAN200]

Im sorry, but I'm sticking with my PC.

 

[bodhi]

Thats nice.

Fancy unplugging your modem tho, so we don't have to listen to your inane drivel?

More help needed

Thanks for the input and also the slurs about the X-Box

But I need to ask if anyone knows a bit about TVs, a TV guru of sorts, because I need to know if my Sanyo C21EF95B can handle the NTSC signal used by the JAP Gamecube. I really need to know this so all help will be greatly appreciated.

If it doesn't support NTSC then its going to be a black + white picture for me till I buy a new TV... and know one wants that situation do they.... DO THEY?!

Many thanks in advance,
Sheepsteak

Megadrive is the way forward. Sonic rules your lame ass Mario, well at least he did once.

Hmm, Xbox has nice gfx but crap gameplay ? That would be the Xbox games then not the console. Tbh the PSX was glutted with shit games and very few decent launch titles so that's no indicator. The PS2 still only has a handful of games worth playing but it will probably improve. This wouldn't be another nVidia thing would it Bodhi ?

 

[bodhi]

No.

Xbox sucks dick.

You can tell by the japanese reaction. No one cared.

 

[Wij]

The Japanese are a bit arrogant about consoles though since noone else has done a successful one for ages.

I'll probably get every console that comes out. I usually do

 

[lovedaddy]

err, the X-Box is a really nice bit of kit (got the dev kits in the office) - especially the sound hardware (which normally dont get talked about much).
But for the money, I'd have a gamecube, Nintendo magic lives on.

 

[old.plightstar]

What are you doing buying loser consoles, PC's rock and everybody knows it, if you still want a console after that buy a gamepad a download a emulator.

Damm console boys you should all be shot.

 

[old.Kez]

shut up lamer.

 

[bodhi]

Yes/Acknowledged.
