goldcupmom Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I want to get my DD a game system - not sure which, but NOT Xbox 360 - did that for the 2 DS's last night for 18 hours. She'll be 14 and used to like the N64, but I'm just not sure what's out there and what's a deal. TIA
ravi7791 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 The gamecube..or wait for playstation 3 or nintendo revolution
scott78945 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I would second the Gamecube. Very nice system and VERY reasonably priced. They got some good games for kids and a handful for adults.
crystalhicks Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I just saw an XBOX 360 go on ebay for 2100.00.....oh my~~~
ebony0421 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I think I'll get a gamecube, if I find a deal.
peachysquirt21 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I just saw an XBOX 360 go on ebay for 2100.00.....oh my~~~Come next year you will probally be able to get them on sale for BF 50 to 100 less then what they are now. I would never pay 2000 for a game system. That is crazy.
wright1baby Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I got the GameCube w/mario 7 for $99 for my kids. They all 3 have gameboy sp so I also got the gameboy "player". Does she have a GB? It will allow you to play GB games on the GameCube. I thought for $50 it was well worth the cost considering I have about 50-60 gb games already.
Santa's helper Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 on ebay: xbox 360 premium bundle - 37 bids - $3050.00 - approx. 1 and 1/2 hours left on auction (@ 9:25 pm) absolutely insane

BlueMoon Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 PS2 would be my choice. I'm buying one friday for my dd who is 12. I think it has more versatility then the xbox. We already have a game boy, but if you want something to take with you, we love that too. Just my 2 cents.
orangedaisy Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I cannot get over those auctions on ebay. I am flabbergasted. Seriously. Who in their right mind would pay thousands for a game system??? It better do my wash, my dishes, pay my bills, etc. for that much money!!
keith_dude Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 the xbox is not the best gaming system for a kid. Unless you're into sports or first person shooters, that's pretty much all it has.

ccarson1972 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I suggest the Gamecube also, but if you want a good deal on it get a bundle. The Mario Party 7 bundle is the best deal. Basic Gamceube system with controller, plus an extra controller(14.99-24.99 value), and Mario Party 7($49.99 value) all for $99.99. If you go to Toy R Us by tomorrow and get a coupon in the store, you can get a $10 gift card. You get the $10 gift card with a $75 or more purchase.
jpeyton Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Gamecube or NDS. I have both and they each have pluses. NDS is great on the road; ample battery life, unique games (I'm hooked on Mario Kart: DS right now), and a huge library of games (it plays Game Boy Advanced games as well). Gamecube is more versatile and obviously has better graphics; must have titles include any of the first party Nintendo titles (Mario, Zelda, Metroid).
RossMAN Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 GameCube for sure, look for a bundle with 2 controllers and a game (Mario Kart; Double Dash) for $99.99
stiltman Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 gamecube. plus if you get the adapter for it you can play your gameboy games on it too!!
Guest general41391 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 I just sold my Xbox on eBay for $282
racerx00 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 save your money and wait for a playstation 3 when they come out.
Ferg1221 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Same kind of people spent $200 on a Tickle Me Elmo. It was $179, buy it now. j/k:lmao:
Demontooth Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Gamecube, 2 controllers and Mario Party 7 for $99 is hard to beat.
fairydustcrissy Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 You can get the GC, 3 controllers , Mario Party 7, another 50.00 game, plus a bunch of accessories at EB games for 149.00. For 50.00 more, you get the extrea controller, a 50.00 game, and accessories! Looks like the best deal to me!
Demontooth Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 You can get the GC, 3 controllers , Mario Party 7, another 50.00 game, plus a bunch of accessories at EB games for 419.00. For 50.00 more, you get the extrea controller, a 50.00 game, and accessories! Looks like the best deal to me!$419??
