Doubt you'd be able to afford one even if you were serious robble.

In your link though, you say you sell them. How much dough are we actually talking?

I've already asked Ben, he said its around $600 depending on what we want on it. Seems a bit steep but given the work he has to do I guess you justify the costs if you really want one.

Perhaps if it cost $400 I'd get one, but I'm not much of a Gamecube fan to begin with.

I'll just get a very small tablet PC to play some older games or something.
 
 
Because I'm great!

In £?

£1 = 2 US$
So £300.

oh and a random currency fact...
£1 = is about 1,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwinean $
(apparently 100 billion isn't even enough to buy a loaf of bread...)

Well I read that in a newspaper but here's the wiki:

QUOTE:
In November 2007, the official inflation rate was above 26,000%[72] and the black-market exchange rate was Z$3,650,000 to the pound.
The current estimated inflation rate of the currency is 11,200,000% (as of July 2008)


At that inflation rate it's about a trillion to the pound now?

Yeah, I saw in the newspaper that they were printing 50 billion dollar notes and then 100 billion dollar notes a while ago, and that they could only buy two loaves of bread with it.

Started building myself a brand new portable gamecube now.

Different configuration, the first vacuum formed version.

If successful I can roll these out at a faster rate for a lot less money so hopefully I'll please those who thought I was charging too much for it in the first place.

Wow...that handheld is huge...lol.

ctually, I think that Nintendo's next handheld will be just as small a the ds lite and will be able to produce/play gcn graphics/games

Whilst I think it will be impressive, I very much doubt it would produce GCN graphics. The DS can barely emulate N64 graphics.

Well the PSP is also pretty small and has pretty close to PS2 graphics - and that's with technology 4 years old, and they limited the RAM and processor speed to reduce battery consumption? (or so I've heard) - if so, they should easily be able to ramp that up...or that's just me being wishful.
