why bother with crap ports of crap PS2 games? get yourself one immediately and buy Metroid Prime / Mario Sunshine / Super Monkey Ball / Resident Evil (yes I know it was a PS1 game) / F-ZeroGX / 1080 Avalanche / Mario Kart DD!! then marvel at some seriously class games :D

That was my problem, i looked through a list of GC games and the only ones that took my fancy that you couldn`t get on the PS2 was Mario Kart DD and the Resident Evil Games (which are now back on the PS2), so really i was wondering if the GC offered improved graphics, loading times etc. over the PS2 (which i already have) for equivalent games?

Yes, graphics are far better and loading times are miles better. Trust me, there`s lots of quality games on the Gamecube; grab a Gamecube magazine and see for yourself! :D

Depends upon how much time the developer spent updating the game. Steer clear of EA stuff, they do really bad ports. It`s worth having a GC just for Nintendo`s own library of games, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, FZero etc. btw if you buy a `Cube you get an offer for a free disk containing 4 older Zelda games, Ocarina of Time is absolutely magnificent even after nearly 6 years.
Go on, Buy one, you know you oughta :D

Dont know if this has been posted but WH Smith at Cheshire oaks were selling Cubes with the gameboy attachment for £39.99. The Cube did not come with any games but they were selling a limited number of games for £10. I bought mine on sunday and they were selling like hot cakes.

WHAT! That`s bloody amazing! Must be a pricing error surely.
