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

nothing
Recommended it?
Yes
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
Easy to set up, ability to play ps1 titles, bargain priced games.
Cons
Noisy, chunky, limited space to 252MB combined, old pixeled graphics.

Yes
Ok, I believe to be able to review this platform we need to first identify wether you are upgrading from a ps1 or downgrading from a ps2.
i shall do both:
If you are upgrading from a ps1, then the ps2 will be a breath of fresh air, by far more titles out, better graphics, capablity to have...

Pros
Unique white PS2 looks great, good value if you want Singstar Pop
Cons
No white peripherals available, difficult to find in stores
Recommended it?
Yes
Sony's Playstation 2 has been out for a long, long time, almost 9 years. Sony recently cut the price of the console to $100, and the price of this bundle has dropped accordingly.
There's lots of reviews of the PS2 and the Singstar game, so here I'll just discuss what is unique to this...
