can't say I'd really have a preference any way. Maybe black, just because damn near every other system I own is black I guess.

Had a Silver originally, but it got stolen so I replaced it with the Pokemon GoD bundle.

It's not different at all.

I don't think I knew ANYONE with the orange one.

Why don't they make consoles in fun colors anymore

Had it at launch, so it was indigo. If I had the option through then platinum with an orange controller all the way.

I always wanted Spice, but it never came to the US. So I settled with Indigo because it came with Mario Sunshine for a good deal. I later got bored as an autistic teen and took it apart and painted it silver (looked like the real Platinum) and got controllers to match.

My friend has a silver one, problem is the paint comes off it ery easily so you ended up with this horrible white platic showing through underneath.

The purple and black gamecubes weren't painted, the plastic itself was a different colour so they never faded.

Actually it was $200 at launch, I remember it because the PS2 had a price cut for holiday 2001 and it was $250, Xbox was $300. If I still had old toys r us ads, I'd show you.

>GC
>Better GPU
Honestly, not by much. Processor in Xbox was the best among the 3, but side by side GC and Xbox were pretty similar in specs. Just that GC was hampered by manlet discs instead of using regular DVDs like Xbox and PS2.

Honestly because the other colors are dull and the purple is so iconic, I'd just stay with purple. It's fitting for such a goofy, adorable little console. The GC is the first console I bought myself and I suffered a lot to get it, but in the end it's one of my favorite consoles overall even if I know there are objectively better ones out there.

>>323071864
I would pick the orange one, already had 2 blacks and 2 silvers.

>>323075850
I forgot about the wii drought. I wanted one right away but ended up coming in to best buy really early on a shipment day in like february or march to get mine.

In hindsight, what a mistake that was. Wii didn't even get any decent games until the 2nd year onward. So for the first year, all I had to bother with were fucking red steel and wii sports and shit like that. There was also zelda TP, but I should've known that the gamecube version was superior and just bought that. I thought the wii version would actually have superior graphics and awesome motion controls.

At least it already meant I had TP ready so I could install softmods when the twilight hack came out

Really? I remember Metroid Prime 2 specifically looking better than the vast majority of other games on any platform, but that seems like a stretch.

>>323076540
MP2 was definitely up there when it comes to best looking 6th gen console games. Also Halo 2 and the original GC version of RE4

>>323076540
And it ran at 60fps.

It was a tad more powerful, but took more work to utilize it. Something to do with how the Gecko handled shaders and Xbox had normal mapping. My memory is fuzzy though. RE4 and Metroid Prime looked amazing.

>>323074287

I don't think I've ever been more let down by a system then with the Wii. Bought into the hype and got it at launch, but it basically became a dedicated emulator box and smash machine for when friends came over. Waiting six month at a time between anything interesting was asinine.

Mine was a black one that came with Metroid Prime

The GameCube fits rather perfectly in any old school backpack. I think it's just a neat thing to be able to pull it out of one by its handle with just one hand instead of reaching in with both hands to lift it.

>>323077306
It's the console that made me come to two revelations

1) never buy a system at launch, no exceptions. Always wait at least a year or two, preferably longer

2) the more successful the console maker is, the less effort they put into their first party support. Systems like the gamecube had an amazing first party lineup because it was nintendo's low point (until the Wii U) and they were busting their asses off trying to make stellar games to get people to buy the system. In contrast, when a system is doing well, the company doesn't need to worry about pumping out hit after hit because people are clamoring for the system anyway. Why would nintendo bother with extra development when wiis are selling like hotcakes? Just like how PS4 is selling a lot right now, so sony doesn't feel the need to bother too much with first party games.

After I had my appendix removed my parents bought me a dreamcast, I was about 13.
I was off school for 6 weeks and it's all I played.

I got this one. Don't have the game anymore though, since I traded it in because I was too stupid to understand what to do.

I got my tonsils removed well before that.
The prize was a see-through gameboy color and pokemon blue.

My sister swore that her friend had one.

Had a original grey growing up. I remember my brother's friend had two(translucent blue and orange) and gave us the blue one, it was the mid 2000's so he didn't care about them that much. We still joke about how that's the only good thing to come from that friendship. I wish it was more of this color then the cyan color it actually is.

Gamecubes can die? I've never even heard of one dying before.

The disc lasers can shit out pretty easily.

Most of them throw in an external drive with 100 or so ISOs on it.

>Why don't they make consoles in fun colors anymore

The Wii had a ton of colors. Wii U hasn't sold well enough for that.

>>323085731
2DS did that recently. I'd kill for a New 3DS one.

What did you parents feed you, pizza for every meal?

I always had basic colours.

>>323101168
That's the most likely time to get it, 10 to 20.

I literally had all 4 colours at different points, and a black and silver one at once. Orange was the best imo, and I don't even like that colour typically.
