Is their a reason why they did away with the progressive scan connection?
ALSO, how well do gamecubes hold up? Its hard to tell what the condition is when buying off of ebay.

Probably not. Im one of those people who arent hardcore gamers, but like to play a good game every now and then. I usually stick with PC Games, since the last console system I had was a Dreamcase (and I bought that about 2yrs ago, yrs after they stopped making them). Previously, I owned all Nintendo systems, so I am a fan.
I read the Revolution will be able to play Gamecube games, so thats a plus. The main reason I want a Gamecube now is for Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, and Zelda games. Metroid and Zelda were my fav games back in NES/SNES days.

You should ALSO know that the Revolution doesn't only play GameCube games, you can also download NES/SNES/N64 games and play those as well. So if you've missed out on some gems, you'll be able to play them, or you could just play A Link to the Past and Super Metroid [/salesman]

Yea, but the reason I wait to buy a "new" system is the price. I can never see myself paying $300-500 for a sonsole system (lke some people are doing for the xbox360).

Well no nintendo system ever was over 199.95msrp, it just the thiefes at the "other systems" that make people pay that much for vg.

Why?

Edit: seriously, there is no real difference in the hadware, other than the fact that the older cubes have the progressive scan hookups, I have had my indigo gamecube since launch, and the only problem I have ever had with it is that the "open" button sticks sometimes.

No, they don't.
I heard a rumor that the newer GC's and all the platinum ones can't run the Freeloader to play import games. Don't know if it was ever proven or not.

Of course I like contrarian looking colors... spice would be good as far as I'm concerned... hell, I'd have bought a Hello Kitty branded system in pink just to be different and have visitors say "what the hell is that?"

But the Revolution will! (If Nintendo goes with the colors they've been showing, like red).

I am still a little bit wary of that, I remember back before the release of the GC there were official pictures of the gc in all different colors (similar to the pics they show of the rev now in all different colors). Then they went and only released it in the us in Black and Indigo. I really wanted the spice on, (orange being my favorite color) but then they had to go and release spice only in japan, and I didnt really want to import, so I got an Indigo one. Anyway, I Do really think that they are going to release the rev in multiple colors this time around, but I am not going to believe it 100% until I see it.

Its a Platinum. I know that Indigo is the oldest systems, did Platinum come out before or after the Black?
