I'm not knocking the Cube. I've not played it so I have no experience. But, are you wedded to it? What about the PS2? Or Xbox? Both have toslink outs (and I have them hooked to my reciever that way). Generally I recommend people look to see which one has the most games they want to play and chose that console (PS2, G-cube, Xbox). Oh, and M$ is going to 'reveal' their xbox2 (i think it's called the 360) on May 13. Not sure when one could buy it, but that will certainly effect prices for the current xbox and PS2.
