Yeah, I just moved mine down to my office while the Wii is upstairs in the living room.
I haven't used the Cube down here, but it's a nice to have the option and looks good (its the black model) next to my Black Sports Dreamcast and Saturn.

:lol: I did the exact same thing with mine..'cept mine is purple, and my two DCs are white. :mrgreen:

To the OP: You can live without the cube if you own a Wii but like the others have said I wouldn't sell your Cube. Your not really going to get that much for it now-a-days and it's nice to have the option of playing your cube games on the real hardware.

I still have my GCN hooked up because I can't stand the top ports for the controller on the Wii.

another vote in favor of keeping the gamecube. if i have one of my kids asking to play super monkey ball and another asking to play luigi's mansion there will be no fights breaking out in this house. :D

The black GC is the one I want to buy. I have no problems with my Wii for GC games but eventually I want to own every system ever made. At one time I owned the purple one and I never liked how it looked.

I own 80+ GBA carts, so the Gamecube + Gameboy Player will keep a permanant spot in my console roster for that reason alone.

So, from what I've heard, I should keep the GCN.

But while there are many reasons not to trade it, are there any notables reasons not to keep it?
