I'm planning on keeping it. It'll be the PS3 that gets traded in if anything, purely because I'd get more for it.

I've always kept my consoles, then my brother and his friends send them to the twilight zone. Hope this one survive, I need it for GC games.

Sure, the Wii is the ultimate gaming device

Yup. I keep all of my consoles. Though it may get shipped to my parents house once I get a WiiU.

i've never gotten rid of a console yet so i doubt i'll start now.

besides, it's my netflix box for the living room.

I'll keep it for all the games I downloaded as well as MH3 and SSBB.

I sold mine a while back (a few months after E3), when it was still worth something. Ill end up getting another for dirt cheap after the Wii U is released. Thanks to the backward compatibility, i can see it plummeting in price just like the old gamecube.

I would like a Wii to play GC games in 480p and have the Homebrew software.

Yup, definitely keeping it. I wish I still had the GameCube though just for the sake of having it.
