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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

You've got that right

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 [/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.

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.

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.

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.
