edit:
lol, here's the first review for that Gamecube:

5.0 out of 5 stars  Gamecube: An Honest and Qualified Breakdown, June 3, 2003


"HARDWARE:
The first somewhat obvious advantage of the Gamecube is it's sheer processing power. The hardware architectural scheme is simply unparalleled when compared to the likes of the PS2 and Xbox. With the help of hardware development giants like IBM, NEC and ATI, Nintendo was able to assemble a very powerful machine that is cost effective and easy to code for."

heh,

"SOFTWARE:
This is where the debate can truly get ugly. I'll be forthright, Nintendo's Gamecube has hands-down the best and most diverse software catalogue among all three next-gen platforms. First and foremost, when considering this statement you've got to look at console-specific games. Sure, the PS2 may have a ridiculous slew of games over both Xbox and Gamecube, but consider the fact that you can attribute this to PS2's earlier launch."

Wow, all the reviews reak of fanboyism

Eiii

I'd pay extra to avoid using steam.  I have too many games right now, though - maybe later.

That reminds me, Evga 9800 GTX KO edition, $200 on newegg.
9800's all the way, I'll have 2 in my new rig.

Nice!  Prey is totally worth $4.90.  Too bad shadowrun is vista only, or I'd grab that.

Shadowrun is the most incredible, fun, awesome, playable, interesting, good-looking game I've ever played-- but no one actually PLAYS it because it's Vista-only.

I am angry. One of the best games ever, in my opinion, gone to waste because MS can't stand to have people not buy their latest OS. 7 had better be good.
