"Here's a question for you?"

I'm not gonna wait outside a shop in the freezing cold!

my dad knows the guy from the game shop in town , so i'll just get him to keep one back for me ... discount for me ... yay ! ;-)

yeah, but why did the PS2 sell out? Sony knew that with the amount of PS2s it had for launch there wouldn't be enough, but they didn't care it just helped to raise hype and make people frantic to try and get one so they were willing to pay ridiculous prices.

Does anybody honestly believe that the GC will sell out in the same way as the PS2????

Come on... it's just gonna be another low key launch... like the Japanese launch...

In fact, Ninty openly admitted this, saying that they were gonna try their hardest to push sales by unconventional retailers... eg, online...

But trust me- it won't sell out!!! I'll probably walk into a shop and buy one on release day! In fact, i have a job interview at dixons tomoro... staff discounts :)

I was the first to pre-order a GC in the Sawbridgeworth SR shop. Does that gaurantee me one on release day?

Hadodoooo

I've placed a 20 pound deposite with SR.

They will kindly send Monkey Ball, a Gamecube, 4 pads and a memory card thing to my door on release day.

That's such a long way away that I don't really want to think about it.

I think I'll probably end up ordering one from SR!

I just hope they get my order RIGHT this time!

Story goes:-

*** phone-up SR to join and make my FIRST order ***

Me "Hi, I want to order an N64 please!"

SR "ummkay! Anything else with that?"

Me "Yer, I'd like to order Mario Kart 64 please and an extra green controller."

SR "I'm sorry we're outta green controllers i'm afraid. We have blue, and grey ones in. Would you like one of those?"

Me "Ok, I'll have a blue one please."

SR "Is that all?"

Me "Yup!"

SR "So an N64, Mario Kart, and an extra Blue controller?"

Me "Yes, that's it."

*** credit card details n stuff ***

SR "Ok, it'll arive in a few days time."

Me "Tar very much!"

*** hang up ***

*** few days later ***

Parcle force turn up with a sack of goodies! *YEY*

Looks inside and what do I get?

An N64, Super Mario 64, and a Yellow controller!

Oh well! I couldn't be bothered to complain as it was my birthday and Mario was a GREAT game! But I wanted Mario Kart so that I could play it multiplayer with my brothers, and also the extra controller seemed a bit usless now. Well I just went out and bought Mario Kart a few days later from some shop.

SR, PLEASE don't get my order wrong when I order my Gamecube!!!
