it helps a lot. thanks!!!!!! i was thinking of asking her for a gamecube because that is 100 x-tra dollars i will have for accesseries. i would buy the gamecube just for resident evil 4. smash bros. melee is a great bonus, though. but i still kind of want the x-box for oddworld, munch's oddysey. i think i might get a job so i can buy the gamecube. or i could ask my mom's boyfriend for the x-box. anyway, thanks for all your help dan habiki!!!!!!
