Well, right now there is no point, because you can't copy gamecube games anyways, so the bigger drive will do you no good.

If you are just thinking of buying a Game Cube in general, you have to think about what games you like. Some good ones for GC are Resident Evil, Bloody Roar, Smash Brothers Meelee & some others I can't think of right now.

It is, but they also liscenced panasonic to make a console that plays GC games but it can hold regualr sized DVD's and can play DVD movies etc. I think it is called the panisonic Q or something like that.

The nintendo GC can be made multiregion as well, although it won't play DVD's

Yup, its called the Q or Panasonic Q... It can play DVD's and GC games and you can get it at around £300. I'm gonna get my hands on one as soon as I get the money.

IS IT ME OR AM I THE MAN
