It looks pretty good, I would go for it, like
Impulse said though, if it doesn't go much higher.

I got my GC BBA for like 15 bucks new a few years ago from a gamecrazy. It has been worth it for me.

Yea there are only 3 GC games that have LAN modes. You can use LAN tunneling software to tunnel these games online with it though. Unfortunately, GC games are designed weird for LAN so the frame rate drops horribly when they are lan tunneled. You have to live pretty close to other GC LAN tunnelers for it to work.

Here is what happens when you try to tunnel GC LAN games too far...

But when it works it is pretty fun.

Same here. Which is why I asked them to have it shipped from another one of their stores. lol My BBA is from North Carolina apparently. ( I live in Rhode Island)

i just called my local Gamestop and they ordered me one. the guy didn't want to at first because he said the store would lose money. it would cost more to ship it than i would be paying. i offered to pay shipping and he said that i couldn't do that. i explained that i wanted to set up a LAN environment and that i could use as many as 4 if he could ship all of them. turns out the closest store that had any only had 1, so he had them ship a bunch of GC stuff with it hehe. that way he wouldn't get into trouble for wasting the store money. then he said that he asked for wireless controllers. i was like sweet i want another wavebird anyway, so if he gets one of them in i will buy it too :D
