- Is buying a refurbished Gamecube system from gamestop any good?
The Gamecube is built like a tank. It tends to be pretty reliable. Personally I would just go for a double whammy and buy the Wii, since the GC doesn't have too much to offer in comparison.

HELL NO. I borught one before and everything they gave you is third party EXCEPT for the game console. The controller is thrid party and partially broken. If oyu ahve to get it, check the content first.

yep i was watching this show a few years ago when the camecube was still making games and they dropped it from i think 10 feet maybe 20 and it still worked
actually all three last gen's consoles were like tanks and took alot if hits(compared to this gen's consoles)
If ur talking about the Gamecube Yes! I bought a refurbished GC about 3 years or so ago. It still works like new and i dunno what Spiky1228 is smoking but they do not give u no third party controllers.... They give it to you with an original Nintendo Game cube controller... sometimes they do not include a controller and u will have to pop for one... But this talk of them giving u third party controllers must have just been one bad case cuz thats not the norm... Game cube - What a great console!

I think they did that on X-play, and yeah these new consoles are made of bubblegum compared to the previous gen's.
