Having heard all these reports of people getting their Gamecubes early is making me jealous. I still remain somewhat confused on when my Gamecube will arrive.

I ordered it from Amazon on March 29th, and it says on the predicted delivery date - May 6th. However Amazon have recently contacted me saying I wont be getting it until June now.

Is there anyway possible that anyone knows when Nintendo are shipping more because Im getting a bit fed up now.

When is everyone else getting their Gamecubes??????????????? I cant wait any longer...

I can beat that.

Thanks to a promotional discount code for an extra 10% off (which ended at the end of April) I'm getting a GC with an extra OFFICIAL controller and a copy of Rogue Leader for a mere £147.92 - including the £3.95 delivery charge. This isn't from some dodgy, independant place either.

They also did a similar deal with any game for something like £180 - that's what makes me think it was a mistake on their site.

It's not on their site anymore (I wonder why) and the bundles that have been added are a bit rubbish so I can happily say the name of the shop without offending SR (who can't be expected to match a price that was a mistake in the first place).

Currys! And Dixons. Probably. Same place, more or less.

I only ordered it on Monday night and I've had a confirmation e-mail saying it's been sent and will be here between 9 and 12 tomorrow morning.

Considering the fact that SR will recieve a 2nd batch of GameCubes 2 weeks after launch, i've realised that i'll have to order one earlier than I had at first expected. I was gunna wait untill the end of the month (after ALL my AS exams) but I fear that if I wait too long that I won't get one 'till mid-late June at the earliest!! :O

I do already have enough in the bank now (with about £30 to spare!) and therefore I should send off the order form next week - Tuesday afternoon at the earliest, after my 5 hour Art Graphics exam.

I'll order the Indigo Cube with Luigi's Mansio, ISS 2, and a Memory Card, and it should hopefully come well in-time before the 28th May when I have 2/3 Graphics exams on the same day.


I'm also VERY surprised to see that there are currently no Luigi's Mansion - GameCube bundle packs!!
I also said the same about Mario 64 when it all launched back in '97.

If some people have ordered via the net, don't worry about the tracking not being updated or not receiving confirmation emails. The bloke I spoke to told me they are more concerned about sending everyone's cube for the release then updating the system and sending out mails
