I just picked up a Gameboy played for $15 a couple weeks ago. Ohwell, $15 was a good price still.

Great deal. A GC is worth it just for Metroid Prime.
Speaking of that, I should start playing again...

I am now the proud owner of a $30 GameCube, a $10 memory card, and $2.99 Viewtiful Joe and Viewtiful Joe 2. Very cool introduction to the system.

It sucks that the gamecube accessories (controller and meomory card) are still so expensive because of the Wii...It always seemed silly to me that you had to buy gamecube memory cards to save gamecube games...Sony had it right with the way the ps3 did it, I think. Though I don't know if it's technical limitations (somehow I doubt this), or it drives up hardware sales for the old hardware.

I also took a quick look at the GC stuff to see what they're selling for. It appears that they have recently dropped the price on the GBA player from $14.99 to $9.99. The GB Micro is now $30. I believe it was $39.99 not to long ago.

Do you think any GameStops would have a new Xbox in stock?
All you have to do is ask an employee to search the system .

P.S.-Sorry for not posting in a few days guys, I was at Animazement and didn't have access to the net.

I just bought a used one yesterday to add to the bedroom and was looking around for a new Wavebird also ...
Sorry, but it's in store only.

I forgot to mention that when I bought mine, the clerk asked if I wanted the 5-year warranty. Hah. I have no idea how much they would charge for it.

It's usually around five bucks.

Parts.

Eventually Cube drives will start failing, but then you'll be able to just crack it open and toss a fresh drive into your old Black, Indigo, Platinum, or Component Enabled cubes. Plus you'll also have fresh AV cables, AC adaptors, and controllers for later as well.
