Don't forget to buy a GBA Player for your Cube as well. Best darned thing that Nintendo's come out with.

Pikmin is an awesome mix of real time strategy, puzzle, adventure and nintendo
. Definately worth playing. I hope you enjoy your Gamecube.

Luigi's Mansion is a lot of fun, but take heed, it is rather short. I'd recommend it, though, especially if you can get it for cheap. Super Smash Brothers Melee is a must-have, no joke. Some good games that are coming out include F-Zero GX, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Pikmin 2 (methinks it's coming out fairly soon), Mario Golf (has anyone seen the commercial for this? I thought it was pretty of funny), and many others, including games from the Capcom 5 and other Nintendo/Nintendo franchise games (Sega, for example, is making F-Zero, a Nintendo franchise). I'm also getting Kirby's Air Ride, another racing game, but I'm not so sure I should recommend it, since it is "TEH KIDDIE!!!11!!!" Looks fun to me, though, and you may want to do some research on it.

Eternal Darkness is a must play title in my opinion though it's not the sort of game that everyone likes. You may want to rent it first. It's very scary in a "make you think" sort of way and it has an amazing attention to detail. Super Smash Bros Melee is another must-own unless you don't have many friends. It's a multiplayer game first, single player second so don't get it if you're just going to play by yourself. Metroid Prime is of course amazing provided you don't go in expecting a Doom style FPS. And finally if you're into RPGs pick up Skies of Arcadia Legends.

i wouldn't recomend madden/ncaa to someone who's currency is the pound
make sure you dont get rid of your PS2 though, you will want to play it again one day, rest assured! good choice on the gamecube though
get Eternal Darkness if your into scary stuff (stfu mario/termin8/infernal )

Its my birthday today so my mum let me use her credit card, seeing as how i have no money in mine until friday, and i've ordered the following:
Platinum GameCube
Zelda TWW (comes with 2 bonus zelda games)
Super Monkey Ball 2
Luigi's Mansion
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Resident Evil
Pikmin
RGB Scart Cable
Joytech 32 MB Memory Card (507 Blocks)
and all of this should either come tomorrow or friday!btw Penfold i'll still play my ps2 i have alot of great games for it, i dont think i've bought a crap game for it yet, oh except charlie's angels, that tought me never to buy a game without reading a review of it first! but i got a refund
there are some more great games coming out for it too, but now im getting a GC i dont know whether to get Soul Calibur 2 on GC or PS2 
The reason im getting a GC is for the nintendo only games like mario and stuff like that. I cant wait, probably like most of you here, for MK double dash! that looks awesome.
Im not sure whether to get Super Mario Sunshine or not, i never had an N64 so i havent played Mario 64, i think the last mario game i played was for the black and white gameboy
I know some people love it and some hate it, maybe i should rent it first?? anyways i'll shut up now, i've written to much

oh and happy birthday! make sure to pick up eternal darkness if you enjoy resident evil/scary games, i would also suggest againsed getting a 3rd party card, only for your sake, alot of them tend to screw up, and losing game saves is a horrible feeling. get the official nintendo one.
