Nintendo have announced that in Japan, the Gamecube wont be released til September, in the US, NOvember but the UK release of Spring next year hasn't changed as yet.

This is because Miyamoto is under a lot of stress to finish games quickly and he needs a bit more time to make them up to standards!

Doesn't bother me though!

I'd rather top quality games, than games rushed for release!

I'm getting my new box for £350, salvaging a few old parts, and getting a damn sweet box at the end of it, running win2000. PCs needn't cost thousands of pounds, if you're prepared to gather components and build it yourself..

Why not just bash someone on the head and take their money, it always works!

Excuses excuses. Yes, you can get a great PC for £500 from our good friends here at SR, or a excellent one with surprising lastability for just under £1000 I believe. It's worth it, the graphics, the games and all the goodies. Not to mention the internet capabilities and hardware stuff. PCs are just bags of fun.

Anyway these days windows takes almost no time to load, and with the speed of processors and things you get the best gaming experience with a PC.

Still, I wont deny that it is fun to play a multiplayer game of something around a console but overall the PC is the past, the present and the future!

To be fair... many of the new PCs have a Windows boot time of around 5 seconds...

Look on the bright side - more time to save for the console.

Look...my name's down there on that bit of paper....

I don't have £2000 for a PC though.

And I don't want to have to load up windows every time I play a game...
