Hi all. Having reacently seen the video for resident evil 4 on the
gamecube I was starting to wonder if there were going to be releases
of the game on other formats like XBOX or PC as I personaly dont have
a Gamecube and can't afford to buy one but am still a big res evil
fan. If anyone has any information then please reply to this message
and it would be appriciated as I would like the info. Thanks.

Only on the Cube.
Though if you can't afford a Cube just take some old games to a Blockbuster
Game Rush store (they seem to give some insanely good trade in value) and
get you a Cube that way. Cubes are only $100 now and it would only take a
couple of games to get one down to a normal new game price.
If you have a Fry's Electronics in your area they are selling Rouge Ops for
the Cube at $10. BB Game Rush is buying (well trading in) that game for
$25. Buy 4 and trade them in for a Cube if you're really desperate.
Or you could just pass on buying two new games from now until when RE4 is
released and get you a Cube then.
Anyway you do it you should get a GC. It has some great games on it. Not
to mention if you're a big RE fan you can pick up the REmake and Zero.

Nope. You're SOL.

I strongly advise in buying a Gamecube, they are dirt cheap and great consoles.

Thanks for the reply. I live in the UK. Blockbusters here don't do
trades, best we have is game. Unfortunately I don't have any games to
trade in either or at least not enough to make a dent in the price of
a new console but thanks for the info

I'm getting one in a couple of weeks for my birthday, but I'm still not entirely convinced that the GC is my future main-gaming platform.

Still, Argos are doing them with an extra mem card, controller and four games for 100ukp, so I agree it is great VFM.

Can't wait to get stuck back into the action <pumps shotgun and grins>

Cheers,
Rob

Erm, I got one for £90-ish.... FF:crystal chronicles... and a £5 used,
60-odd block memory card....
Bloody thing is, that's the only game AND it uses up almost half the card...
Bloody gamecube cards are useless.

Nah, Square just chose not to use any methods of real compression..
hence the big block usage. I have quite a few other titles on my
single GameCube memory card.

I just noticed at the weekend that our local Blockbusters (I live in
Cumbria) has started to do trades. It must be a new thing.

My store (Wimbledon) doesn't, although every branch of GAME do....

That's good advice.
You could take it even further....

Trade in stuff now for credit to a game store. The Cube new is currently
US$99. You can get a used one for $79. The price drop was recent so I doubt we
will see another drop till after Christmas.

RE4 is scheduled for mid November. Suppose they do lower the Cube price again
in Jan 2005. If they take it down to $79 then you could possibly get a used
one for $59 and in the time you waited, you might be able to find a used RE4
for $10 or $15 less.

Give me a little more time and I'll come up with a way Nintendo will *pay you*
to take a Cube.
