man I miss gamecube and ps2 days, tube tv's made them have better picture quality then what they get credit for today. wish I never sold off my old consoles. my Mom gave away my tube tv, always pissed me off. it was such a nice one. but i guess the bulb would have burned out in it eventually, nothing lasts forever, so eh.

We had a GameCube, but one day came home to our house burglarized, and it was one of the things that walked off, along with my Xbox 360, laptop, and 27" HDTV (which was quite expensive at the time). The Mrs loved the gamecube games, which also disappeared. Zelda, Paper Mario. Fun games that didn't need premium graphics to look good and play well.

That really sucks man. We recently installed motion detection cameras outside our house, instant text message to phone, etc. I know that stuff didn't really exist back then though.

Get yourself a Wii. 100% GC compatible!

As an added bonus, the wii supports component video out, and unlike the gamecube, component wii cables are dirt cheap.

Not true, but sort of true. Some models of the GameCube had the high def output and could be used with component cables. There weren't a lot of GC games that supported the 480p output though.
