Game Cube or Revolution

Ok I'm wondering on what to buy, a GC for TP or should I wait for the Revolution to come out and play it on that. I have heared that the average life span of a GC is five years. I don't know if I can wait that long to play it on Revolution. Should I wait to buy the "R" or go ahead and buy the cube. Any feedback would be appreciated.

im not sure when the rev comes out but if its more than 8 months i would get the cube.

Revolution! Theres no need for the GC. Once the Revolution hits the stores, the GC will be for all those who cant initially afford the Revolution.

Ok,but does anyone know how much the Revolution will be?

The revolution will play gamecube games! that is why it will be better.

As a collector I would recommend that you get bolth just because I love Nintendo and collecting systems. Though I think the revolution will be better because of wireless controllers, faster loading, and wait I forhiot if you dont get TP right away for gamecube you will miss a collecters edition thing for reserveing it.

The problem is that we don't know when exactly the Revolution will hit the stores. I'm guessing Twilight Princess will be released before the Revolution, so I think you should get the GC first. If you are eager to play Twilight Princess on the Revolution, get the Revolution (which would most likely be released by 2006 or so) first. I would get the GC first, because we dont know when Revolution will be released. For all we know it might be released Christmas of 2006! We know Twilight Princess will be released by Holiday 2005, so if you feel to wait for the Revolution, go ahead.

get gamecube first, then revolution.

the AWESOME thing about gamecube is that you can play a crazy amount of Zelda games on it. I love it!

You can get a used gamecube system for around $60. That plus $50 on TP is only $110. It's a very cheat way to get it and TP. Do that and get the Revolution. Money most really be an issue with you, eh?

Umm yeah money is an issue. I also don't want to get a used cube cause I have heared that after five years they don't want to work. I'm wondering what the better investment would be.

When I get the revolution the first thing I'm gunna do is give my gamecube/n64 to the less fortunate. They deserve to play nintendo games too...

You should go ahead and buy the GC and enjoy TP, then get Revolution when it comes out and sell the GC on Ebay for lots of Mula! That's what I'm doing with my GC and N64 (Okay, maybe not the N64).

but you can get a revolution for around $200 and its a rev.,gc.,64,NES,SNES in one! that saves some money.

I dont know I think I'd go straight for the revolution. Too bad blockbuster doesnt rent out systems anymore, otherwise you could just do that till it comes out. Nintendo.com says it arrives in 2006, try to borrow a friends or something. And buying the used GC would work bc you are only going to use it until the Rev comes out right? Thats less than a year away and then you can sell the GC to help pay for the Rev. But the better investment is def the Revolution because you can play ALL the nintendo games on it.

This might help you decide.

OMG! Its the next nintendo system coming out!

sweet lord...is he serious.....The Nintendo Revolution. The next Nintendo system due out sometime next year. How on earth did you not hear about the Rev?

If money is a bigger-than-Star-Jones-plus-Della-Reese-plus-Catherine-Manheim issue than yes, just wait for the revolution (prolly $200) so you can enjoy lots of awesome new games and old and lots of new features without worrying so much about longevity

Just go ahead and get a Cube. Also, get a few of the Player's Choice Titles for twenty bucks to start building a library. That way, when you do get a Revolution, you can trade in the Cube (if you want to) and still have a considerable library of games to play on your Revolution (along with those pricey launch titles).
