You people without jobs, I envy you.  Once you get a job, you can't stop.
well you can but then you don't get used to having no money and having big
loans to pay off at the same time.

I'm gonna get the wireless gamecube controller.  Looks cool, i always
wanted wireless controllers.  the past wireless ones are just crap.  The
wireless FM technology has got alot better nowadays.  you don't even need
to point the controller at the receiver.

I'd just rather wait to get GC when it's released in N. America because it will be likely be cheaper and the games will be in English.
