I personally would wait till nintendo revolution but thats me :p i have all of that except my GC is silver :p and i have 4 wired controllers and one wireless controller. since i can laydown and play than :p haha

Now I just have to get that 1 game to be Smash Bros... ;) My ideal pack would be something like: <ul> <li>Black GameCube</li> <li>4 Nintendo controllers</li> <li>1 Memory Card</li> <li>SVideo cable (I'll need one of these probably, because I hear the composite jacks on my 2005FPW don't provide a very good picture</li> <li>Smash Bros.</li> <li>Double Dash</li> </ul> Yeah... looking at all that, looks like I should be prepared to spend more than a hundred bucks. Mmph, lop off Double Dash (I can borrow it) and a couple controllers (we can play BYOC :P) and maybe I'll strike it lucky on eBay. Good things come to patient peeps.

I think $140 or somethings should do it (Or well.. I think €140 would do it over here, if your willing to get second hand stuff.. not sure what the prices over there are) But its worth a lot more imo. (My GC alone costed me more then $140 :p (Though that was including a controller and memory card)) btw; Nintendo controllers also break.. just do SSBM enough, going hyper on the B button all the time, and after a while, it will break. Did for me anyway.. but that was after playing that game for an hour or more pretty much every day for several months.. so I gues I can't blame the thing for breaking.. (And some cheap attempt at controller would have broke much earlier, probally, so its all fine really. :) ) I think your kidding yourselfs Seth. :\
