Looking to pickup a Nintendo Gamecube....Any Help

Macker1

As the title says I'm looking to lay my hands on a Nintendo Gamecude as the one I have at home is refusing to read my game discs. I got a Wii at Xmas but this was the new family edition which dropped support for the Gamecube.:mad::mad:

Where is the best place to track one down. Would that store The RAGE have them for sale and if so what price would I be looking at.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

I've seen a few on Adverts here, also the Sunday markets often have a couple here and there, I got a US one with a Gameboy player for not much at all.

here's a link to one

Theres A1 seller seller all his GC Games on adverts this week, Ive already bought a lot of his Wii Colllection, you should check them out.

As for Gamecube, I was in Cash Converters in Cork and they have GC, PS2's and Xboxs each 50e but really clean ones, not too bad If I didnt already have a EU and US Gamecube along with Panasonic Q, some great games for it for GC,
Also try get Wavebird controller, wireless

Is the Store named The RAGE worth a visit to see what may be on offer ????

Yes. Always.

Last I checked they sold 'Cubes unboxed for 20e. Been a while since I've checked, though.

I've one if you're interested.

GC's are amongst the cheapest of the last gen machines to pick up, don't spend too much, you'll only be disappointed at getting overcharged.
€20 to €30 is all you should really be paying, and that's with a game or two and an extra controller.

Here's one,

According to their FB page they have them at 39.95, presume that's boxed though.

Just got back home from my first visit to The RAGE store. I was able to get my hands on a Gamecube thanks to Nicholas.


A happy night of gaming and beers ahead.

How much did they fleece charge you for the 'cube?
What games did you get and how much were they?

Thems is some "don't frak with us" cats...
Sorry, didn't mean to sound confrontational, just interested in what their prices are like before I venture in myself....

Think they're 40 boxed and either 25/30 unboxed.

I got a fair deal in my opinion which was €30 for the console, controller and cables. I didn't have to bother with games as I had a decent selection already at home. The reason for my purchase was to replace my old console that had stopped reading disks.

Now its time to catch up with some Zelda Windwaker and Mario Sunshine :)

That's not too bad at all, well done, enjoy!
