Apparently certain US retailers that are now taking pre-orders for the GAMECUBE are doing so in a number of different colours, including Purple, Pink, Silver and Black.
Which will you choose....?

I'll have to get mine in silver.
Great, ive printed that out, thanks very much.
Right cookie, only actually do the following if you have a spare hour or two (its worth it).
1. Carefully unscrew the bottom of the control, there are two screws in the memory card slot, unscrew these last...
2. Carefully remove the back of the control, watching the L and R shoulder buttons and attachments don't fly anywhere!
3. with the open control looking at your face you will see a 3D control box with a few wires coming out of the top.
**Never (unless you have another five hours) open the 3D control box fully, this can be done if you want to super clean it back to amazing sensitivity, however you will seriously need a long time intertweening all the little parts and closing the box. I wouldn't recommend you doing this**
4. You will notice you can open the box a small amount and see a spring and there it is, all the white dry sweat that has collected up over the years!
5. Googles are not needed but you should get something like a cocktail stick and carefully remove the gritt and crap from the plastic compartment.
6. When you are happy that its clean(er) give it a few blows, and place the L&R buttons back and close up the control (carefully).
7. There you go, wiggle the control stick around, its a lot cleaner and nicer to use!
Happy Gaming!

I bet the 3D control box is full of it! I 100% bet that!
I know for sure that mines are, the analogue sticks have gone quite stiff, do you think it is the sweat and grit that is causing this? and if so, how would it be best to approach a cleaning operation?

Heh, my hands have overactive sweat glands (Eughhh!!) so I never get that white powdery stuff :-)

Yeah, someone else who has done that with their controls...
..I also cleaned my 3D control sticks, it took me over two hours to get it working again, but now its so smooth, it was worth it!
Warning, never open up the 3D control stick grey box! Scary stuff to get working again...
...another way to clean it it to pull it open a bit and blow heavily into it and the dry sweat and gritt flies out!
auchhh!
