>tfw everyone you knew had the Platinum Gamecube
literally everyone I knew that had one had a purple one
i guess i had less edgy friends
I had the black one until my dog pissed on it so my mom took me to Wal-Mart and we got that $100 bundle that came with the platinum GC and Melee.
Who the fuck cares what color a console is.

one time my cousin made it fall on the ground from 1,20 meter. It still works like a charm today.

teenager is mad he grew up in the black brick generation.
>>340078445
The thing had a handle not for carrying, but for throwing.
I had the purple.
I wanted an Orange or a Green one after some time, but I stuck with it.
i had the platinum one
>>340078013
everyone i knew including me had the platinum gamecube, for the longest time i thought the platinum version was like the standard model
>>340078445
Did you actually measure the height?
Purple master race
The damn logo is purple
>>340078013
I never even met anyone with a GC when I was a kid. I live in a 3rd world shithole, so the GameCube was expensive for some reason.
PS2 and Xbox were way more accessible and cheap.
>>340078013
>tfw you wanted a green gamecube but they never made one
>That kid who had the black gamecube, and used a sharpie to color in the non-black parts so the whole console matched
That kid was me.
>>340078564
It's perfect to bash someones head in
I think mine was black too but I sold it when the wii came out so I can't remember
All the purples were sold out when I got one, had to go with a black. Feels bad mang
Wait, there were other colors besides silver?
>>340079507
And the Dreamcast logo is red.
>tfw Spice
Feels good man
Platinum Gamecube best Gamecube
Silver PS2 is also the best
>>340078013
Man, Gamecube was truly the last great Nintendo Console. I was so pissed when Nintendo announced the Wii, and its hardware was identical to the Cube except for a gimmick controller, full-sized discs, and an overclocked GPU.

>tfw purple GC with orange controller
>he didn't spend $2,000 on a panasonicube
>>340081285
You were seriously pissed that Nintendo didn't use radically different hardware for a new console generation? Something that is utterly transparent to the user?
What has Sony gained by having a complete overhaul of their unnecessarily exotic hardware every generation apart from frustrating developers?
Console color power ranking:
Best Gamecube color: Orange
Best PS2 color: Pink
Best PSD color: Lekki special edition

For what purpose when you could buy Gamecube and a DVD player separately for a fraction of the price?
>>340081672
Anyone have that video where a guy pours acid on one of these for no reason
>>340080989
>tfw people made fun of my mango controller
>>340082704
DVD players in 2001 were hit or miss + always expensive
>>340079486
it fell from a desk. I just estimated the height.
>>340078445
I dropped my Wii pulling the Gamecube controller about 10 times, still works and I got it in 2007.
>his gba adapter isn't the same color as his gamecube
is it even possible to be more pleb?
>>340078013
Blacc master race
>>340083609
I know the Sony fanboys have revised history so that in 2000 DVD players were shit and expensive and the PS2 can look like some sort of miracle hardware but it's not true.
The average price of a DVD player in 2000 was around $150 and it worked just fine. That's half the price of a PS2 and less than half the price of a Panasonic Q.
>>340084481
You're right, I had been living under wrong assumptions.
Thanks. I learned something .
>>340078575
I like the purple one, it reminds me of grape juice and chicken & waffles.
>when your friends had cool color/translucent n64 controllers and you only had a grey one
>>340078113
> Platinum Gamecube
> Must be edgy to have it.
Faggot. It's called "having good taste".
Also to OP, it's most likely because of Smash Brothers Melee. I got Melee with a Silver GC, so I guess Melee was why "everyone" had one.
>>340085009
>when your cool and gray controllers break and your parents would only get you crappy madcatz controllers
I had a black one
>>340084481
That's true. I recall getting a Apex DVD player in 2000 for $49 or $59. I remember later on it was the type you can change DVD regions on and it lasted a good number of years.
>>340078013
Only assholes who bought the GameCube post 2003 gave the platinum GameCube. Worst GameCube color. It's easy to scratch off the paint and get that ugly dull gray plastic underneath. Anyways, I bought the black at launch because purple was presold out and I acquired a spice orange Japanese GameCube last year.
>>340081798
Oh look, it's a wild Nintoddler!
As someone who has never owned a gamecube why do I consider purple to be the default color? is that true or is it just me?
>>340081798
do you know what the words transparent and exotic mean, mr. nintendrone?
>>340087325
because it's the best US color obviously
but mostly the advertising
Question
Is there any way to play PAL games (50 hz) in a normal TV?
I wanted to play some games in Spanish but my tv is not compatible
>>340087608
I have a tv with a setting to automatically adjust the v-hold when I want to play an older pal-only game
I assume the v-hold dial on my older tv did something similar
check your tv for something like that
I don't actually know anything about electricity, but that will at least get the picture to be still
>>340078013
As a kid I wanted a gamecube to play pokemon colosseum and XD, might've wanted other games but dont remember
were they any good? this things never existed where I lived
>>340078013

>>340087325

>>340088621
>XD

>>340089304
I genuinely laughed
>>340078013
>Have Platinum GC
>One friend has purple GC
>Another friend has black GC
Pretty cool.
>>340088621
>XD
>>340078013
Everyone you knew was a faggot?
>>340078013
I had a platinum GameCube. Have a black one now. Orange>Black>The rest.
>>340078013
Got the black one in a bundle with Colosseum
>>340078013
I had black. Thought purple was gay as fuck when i was a kid.
