ok, I'll give my opinion about the GameCube (I voted for it, ya know.)
First, it's small; if you get the funky carrying case, it holds like 18 games. It also (the carrying case) is very cussioned, so if you drop it

, it will probably be ok. Oh, ya, and the full carrying case for GameCube is smaller than an X-Box (not in a carrying case.) GameCube also has GREAT games, cool controllers, and anything else I might want in a game system!
