should I sell my gamecube for a 360?
 
Well not for a 360 but for money to put aside for the 360.

Should I sell the gamecube for the 360?

I don't even play the games on it. I only got 2 games and 1 demo disc.

Metroid Prime and Zelda twilight princess
I also got 1 controller and a memory card.

Keep the games, sell the Cube, get a 360 now, get a Wii later.

Mecha Cow 02-28-2007 09:28 AM

There are GC demo discs? o_O

But yeah, keep the games and accessories and get a Wii.

*E* Then again, I doubt you'd get much for a 'Cube, especially a bare-bones one. You might be better off keeping it as a back-up or something.

Selling all that together should get you no less than $50. I wouldn't take less than $70. But, it's a start! ^_^

The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition was mostly not, but it did have a demo for The Wind Waker. So, you might could say they had one. :)

Jed 02-28-2007 10:57 AM

I wouldn't bother, you'll get practically nothing for it now. I was gonna sell mine but I don't think I'd even get €50.

KROW 02-28-2007 11:31 AM

If you have an EB Games store near you, you can trade it in for store credit towards a 360; the games, too. It's not much, but it'll give you a slight discount, and it's a bit better than trying to get someone else to buy it from you.

Mr. Snackpants 02-28-2007 02:40 PM

Yeah, like many pointed out already....you won't get **** for it. Better than nothing? I guess...

If you do sell it, sell it on eBay if you can. Gamestop will f*** you!

Peanut 02-28-2007 03:16 PM

Maybe if you didn't waste so much money on horrible PSP games, you wouldn't have to sell a console with some actual worth to it. Hey, there's an idea. Get rid of your PSP.

Yeah, atta boy! Get rid of one of the best piece of portable gaming equipment in history, for a sh*tty piece of failed hardware that can't even sell with two exclusive GTA and MGS games. It's not like you don't already throw your money down the toilet.

Morons.

Archon_Turtle 03-01-2007 03:31 AM

Who needs lightheartedness when you got Peanut?

Nothin' but love.

Ra 03-01-2007 04:29 AM

You've got that right :lol:

Anyways, looking at all of the games on the GameCube and the XBox 360, you will be doing yourself a favor getting rid of the Cube and getting the 360. Much better games on there, and maybe even a wider selection, IMO.

Then again, you could just buy a PS3 right now. No loss of money there with the price on it now :roll: [/sarcasm]

Peanut's comment was uncalled for, but this is downright rude. For someone who keeps claiming to be above all the fanboy nonsense, you sure make some troll-worthy remarks.

Mr._Mutant_Man 03-01-2007 01:13 PM

I'm bummed they've never re-released the Zelda collector's disc.

I don't think I'd bother ever selling my Gamecube if/when I get a Wii. I bought it for 60 bucks, so I doubt I'd get a whole lot.

It doesn't even have those two games going for it anymore, I've never been so glad that I never bought a new handheld in my life, it would have been such a waste of money.

LogicDonny 03-01-2007 03:00 PM

Lol No. I sold it becuase I felt the psp was better. I love it.. Now I will be giving my cube to either any friend that wants it. They are thinking about it.

SO ya.

Deathknight 03-02-2007 01:33 AM

I have both a PSP and DS. My opinion on the 2, DS is superior for games and PSP is superior for media. PSP is only good if you have 1.5 though.

lol yes that's true.

homebrew has opened up the psp full capabilites.. TMB has custom firmware on his and can play ps1 games on it now.

Deathknight 03-02-2007 10:03 PM

Yeah, if only I had a bigger memory stick. I'm on my 2nd PSP and only have 2 32 mb memory sticks so I can only emulate up to 2.71. Unfortunately, PSP is the most undurable console ever made.

Or, yeah, you could keep your gimmicky, rinky-dink, graphically underwhelming DS and play all those top-notch N64 ports. Yeah!! Handheld gaming at its finest! Woo-hoo!!!

Douchebag.

Aelia 03-02-2007 11:20 PM

Well, the DS does have good games that aren't N64 ports, like Meteos, Trauma Center, and Phoenix Wright. The PSP also has it's charms but I don't exactly know what they are because I couldn't afford both a DS and PSP. I simply chose the DS because my father didn't want to spend the extra money for a PSP, though looking back on it I really don't regret it. But I'm supposed to give advice, not talk about the DS vs PSP thing.

LogicDonny, if you're set on getting a 360, then by all means sell your GC, but keep the controller, games, and memory cards and buy a Wii later. I'm really no expert on these sort of things, but I don't think you'll recieve much money for the GC. I've seen those systems go for as low as $42 and that's WITH a controller and a memory card.

Calling the DS gimmicky at this point is just ignorant. It's proven itself to be much more than a gimmick, that is a fact. Graphically underwhelming is merely an opinion, a baseless opinion at that, after-all it's not about the graphics, it's about the games, something the PSP lacks. DS games often have extremely attractive, smooth, well defined graphics. Compared to the muddy, jaggy crap the PSP offers on most occasions.

The best part about your post was the top-notch N64 ports thing. That's just classic! You know, all...what...2...3 of them? Compared to the how many sh*tty, underwhelming, laggy, ugly, janky, terribly controlling, glitchy pieces of whacked out, PS2 ported, garbage the PSP has in it's library.

You? A joke. Tool.

Oh shut up Peanut, he's right. Look I enjoy playing psp more than I do with ds.. That is all. Ther'es nothing on ds I want anymore. I played all the titles anyways, beat em all, got bored..

heck the games on psp online is hella more fun than what the ds can offer online.

Ouch. Time to get a cool shower, everyone.
