A fond, sad farewell to my Gamecube.

Now that I’ve got a Wii which is fully compatible with Cube games, I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I really don’t need my Game Boy Player enough to keep the system. Along with this realization is the one that I have a stack of games I’m never going to play. So I scooped everything together and off to eBay it goes.

It’s a sad moment, and it was actually hard to hit the button to finally list this auction. I see Gamecubes on there (admittedly with much less stuff) going for very little money, and I worry more than anything that whoever gets my old friend will mistreat it.

I got to thinking about how much we value the physical things we associate with our hobby/pastime/addiction. It’s silly when you really think about it, but I realize now I was holding onto a system I would likely never even turn on again and using the Game Boy Player as a weak excuse. It’s no comparison to how easy it was for me to flip the PS2 I owned briefly. Anyone else have an experience selling a piece of hardware over which they felt a sense of loss? I’d love to hear that I’m not the only person in love with my electronics.

    I love my cube. I couldn’t get rid of it. Of course, I have kept all my systems and all but the worst games I’ve ever bought. My cube made the transition to bedroom about a month ago. I cut a hole in the back of my dresser to run the cables up to the TV. It sits nicely in a empty side of my sock drawer. Out of sight but still comforting me from across the room. The PS2 and XBOX are still in the basement, where those scoundrels belong. :)
    Yeah, I love my game systems.

    I don’t cling to my gaming equipment or games, I sell my games on a regular basis when I notice that I pick other games over them, there only a few game I never get rid off.As for equipment, am I the only that thinks that consoles are ugly pieces of plastic, the exception is the Cube that one I do like, the Wii is ok I guess but looks a bit boring there is hardly anything on it to complain about. The rest I try to keep out of sight.I still got my ps2 I wanna play that Odin Sphere game and even if I would get a ps3 I couldn’t get rid of it, since the PS3 only plays a handful of ps2 games.

    Why do you feel sorry for this lamp? It has no feelings… are you insane?
