bought mine in winter '02. It stopped reading disks a year ago.

The only game that wit would read was SSBM

It was pretty old, but I'm sure yours is younger than mine. Should be fine.

 

So you're saying it could play everything you needed it to play?  bazing!

Seriously though, the thing is a rock.

No, he's saying that everyga.............wait, I see what you did there......

Gamecube is to consoles what the original Gameboy is to handhelds, they are both made of some indestructable element nintendium.

 

Someone should add nintendium to uncyclopedia.

Nintendo builds hardware like tanks. It's their greatest "unmentioned claim to fame", and taken for granted by many users until they accidentally drop their Game Boy or knock their game console over and discover that it's not even damaged.


I'd say this was true until the Wii. I find the Wii to be my least reliable console ever... it's already on its "deathbed" with numerous disc read errors and artifacts all over the place :(

I could just be in the minority though.

So Wii> PS1/PS2s massive DRE, and the 360s RRoD? Seriously?

I had my GameCube for almost 7 years (got it on launch and still works as if it was still new) Nintendo is known for having high quality (as in durability) systems i still have my orignal NES and it still works.

My Wii and DS have broken more then my Gamecube ever did. It's made of pure Nintendium. You're good.

nintendium? gamecube? not mines!! but i had it since launch and i begun getting disc read errors about 4 months before the wii launched which then helped in my decision to get a wii at launch..... now the n64 was the real rock still works brand new(also was i the only one who thought it looked like the bat mobile)

My launch day cube is still going strong.

I have all 3 6th gen consoles in my household.

xBox sometimes throws a fit, but its been strong.
Usage is rare.

GameCube goes great, don't think I've ever had a problem,
Usage is common/abused. D:

PS2... it won't read DVD's anymore and half the time it won't read the games.
Usage is uncommon

Lets put it this way, I know 9 people, online and off who's PS2 broke on them,, 2 for xBox, and non for GameCube. :/



 

I own all of lastgen systems as of October 2008. (Finally got a Dreamcast)

I own every currentgen system except PS3.

Over 10,000 hours of Super Smash Bros Melee, and many many more hours of other games, plus several falls, including one from the stairs.

So... yeah, very.
