Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others. For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files. The company has concentrated its efforts on games. All the prelaunch titles we've seen play smoothly, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional bottlenecks that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. Less

Game cube is fun and addicting. The graphics aren't as great as on the newer game systems, and the new trendy games like rock band aren't offered for game cube, but it is fun for playing more classic video games, and kid friendly.

When we first got this, when this was the "new" system out there, it was awesome and very advanced. Now there have been another 2-3 systems since then, so naturally it pales in comparison. However, there are still tons of great games out there for it and it is very fun!

Pros
New camera/MP3/photo-editing tools; small but handy design tweaks.
Cons
Matte finish is somewhat icky and dirt-prone; not worth an upgrade for Lite owners.
Recommended it?
Yes
As much as I’d like to be a hip, edgy early adopter, I’ve come to accept that that’s not really who I am at heart. My inherent thriftiness prevents me from splurging on the newest thing for its own sake, so I’m usually left wistfully admiring the cool gadgets of others. The DSi is no exception –...

I absolutely love my new DSi. We are a family of 4 and each one of us has our own DSi. It is great to play multiplayer games such as Mario Bros, sims racing, Mario cart etc. Perfect because as long as you are in the same area you can connect your DSi's...no need for internet...
