How about this one on ebay - £4.99 buy it now, £7 postage

serenity · 20/04/2007 14:02

TBH Wii would be a bit expensive to get as a replacement for a GC, £170 if you can find one in stock and £20 for a GC style controller (only comes with a wiimote)

We actually have a GC we don't use (because DS got the Wii for christmas) but DH is a bit of a hoarder about computery type things. I'll talk to him tonight and see if I can persuade him that we don't really need it. I will get back to you .........

we've still got his bloody commodore 64 in MILs loft (plus an Amiga) here we have two PS1s, two out of date PCs plus the one that we actually use, game cube, dreamcast, x box, PS2 Wii and assorted game boys, DSs etc. We have no life!

OK, we apparently still need the game cube but Dh said that you can get second hand ones from your local branch of Game station for £25, they sell them online as well.

have a look here , if you don't want to get it online, they have a list of stores too. HTH!

misdee · 20/04/2007 21:39

thanks. will pop into town tomorrow to get one. would rather get it from game than risk ebay and it not working.

lol@still needing it.
