Let me set this up.
About a year and a half back, my younger brother and I buy a GameCube. Add in an AV and Power cord, a second controller, a 16MB save card, and Super Smash Brothers Melee.
Then I (me, not my brother) buy: 1 Wireless and 1 standard controller, Paper Mario 2, Sonic Gems Collection, Sonic Mega Collection, Zelda Collectors Edition, Wind Waker, Megaman 10th Anniversery, Megaman X Collection, and Twilight Princess.
Game Cube now costs $29.99 refurbished.
Controllers all together cost us $40.
The Save Card cost us $15.
SSBM now costs $34.99
Paper Mario 2 costs $19.99
Sonic Gems costs $12.99
Sonic Mega costs $9.99 (WTF?)
Zelda Collectors Edition costs $34.99
Wind Waker cost me $30 last week.
Yesterday, I bought the last three games on that list for about $60.
That's $288 by my count.
Where does my blood pressure come in to this?
This morning, my sister and my brother were arguing over her playing it up in my room or down here in the living room. This is normally not a problem, except that this time my sister tried to bring it downstairs by herself. One loud thump later, we're all compromising so that if my brother wants the livingroom television, we turn off the games.
So, I'm hooking the gamecube up for my sister to play it, and it will not read the fucking disk for Twilight Princess. Needless to say, I was pissed. We try Melee, but it's no good.
I don't know if the system is damaged or if it's just some fucking bad luck.
I'm really glad I'm not suicidal.

| Sounds like the Cube to me. Either go get it returned for another or wait for a Wii. |

If you get a wii, there is no reason to keep your gamecube, since it plays
gamecube games just as well.

True, but I would need something called extra money. Right now, I need to save for college books &c.
