Blech, I hated the original GBA. No, thatr's not entirely true, although I DID spring instantly at the SP when it launched. Maybe it's because I like to play in the dark.
Yeah, my Cube DRE'd itself to death too. I replaced it, but I gave it to my dad to use strictly for a GBP, since he likes the games but can't quite see them well on the small screen.
Yunno what I always found weird? Sony products have a proven worse track record than Nintendo for hardware durability, but my PS2 has been exposed to the same conditions that have deteriorated and ruined two previous GameCubes and I've never had a problem. It's not a difference in usage either, mind you, the game I've played probably 2nd most of all this gen (FFX, 1st being Melee) is on PS2. I always thought I'd have to rebuy a PS2 way before my Cube would crap out. Who knew? Certainly gave me a new perspective on not so much Sony as Nintendo. The Wii had better last me longer than Cubes 1 & 2 did!
