I am of course talking about Special Reserve, Pre-ordered my cube 6 weeks ago and got nothing through the post.
On friday i recieve the confirmation letter where i have to choose my bundle and pay it off when the man says i won't be able to get it for another 2 weeks!
you pay a £20 deposit to avoid things like that, and it's not on!
so i told the bloke he can shove my pre-order up his a.ss and give me all my deposit back, and i set off down-town to my local games rental shop, "Choices".
usually choices are a huge rip-off but when i saw a gamecube, 2 games of my choice and 2 official pads for £250 and a promised may 3rd pick up, i realised that is he best deal i've seen all i need is a memory card for £15 and thats £265, but if you get the jedi bundle with and extra game (the same as that deal with the memory card) it costs £275, so i've realised how exspensive special reserve can be.
P.S i'm getting 5 games with my cube, Wave Race, Rogue Leader, ISS2, Smash bros. (when it's out) but i can't decide out of the final two! Luigi's Mansion or Super Monkey Ball, some one help!
i dont think i'll be bored for about a year!
and i'd never thought i'd say this but I love the queen!!!
because of her golden jubelee (which isn't until june or whenever) my school issued a day off on may 3rd, just goes to show what a nintendo respecting school i go to.
but even better news is, cos i got my 'cube from choices they always let you take home pre-ordered games the day before they come out, so i wonder if they'll let me do that with my 'cube.
cos they did it with metal gear 2 for me!
anyway i don't like the way i cant swear i mean it's not as if everyone doesn't swear anyway!

I only preordered mine about 2 weeks ago and I wasnt told that. =P
I dont care if it comes on May the 3rd as long as it comes no later than... May the 4th (saturday = no school = lots of gamecube time) =D

So then I looked on 'Special Reserve' and ordered a Black console (with controller), a 4MB memory card (official), and three games of my choice all for about £305. I was able to get 'Luigi's Mansion' and 'Star Wars: Rogue Leader', two great games and also pay for 'Super Smash Bros Melee' at the same time, and even better, would have it sent to my place later on in May. All that for £305, just shows, whats the point going out and looking for prices when you can get better Gamecube deals right in your own home, here on Special Reserve.
