    Woah, if I am seeing that right, they only want $50 US for a GCN and close to $30 for most games. Wow...

    Fraid not, last I checked, it's 1.8 Dollars per pound...wait, no, I just looked...more like 1.9 dollars...actual amount is 77 bucks.

    Most of the time...lately...I think of British pounds as two US dollars...then I cry.

    It'll probably end up more after shipping and getting either a 110V tranformer or a step-up, and there's the whole PAL problem...

    Argos do tend to be crazy at times. I thought they were going to stop selling GC stuff alltogether after the last time they were selling them at insanely low prices last year?

    You can get your system w/ 2 controllers and Double Dash for US 100 (about 55 pounds) in the US new, so the prices are similar.

    Tempting as hell! A shame that I just crashed my parents car and have to pay 1000 to 1500 euros to them, but my final purchase was a worthy one (check the buy/trade topic) :smt033

    What do you want with 5 cubes though? Get network adapters for each and put 1 in every room in the house for some Mario Kart LAN action :smt023

    About £15 at the most trade in for a 'Cube, ebay though, you can do them BIN for £50 and make a few quid easily, it is after all, ebay.

    That reminds me, must collect some navel lint/fluff, and sell it off as Kurt Cobain's!
