I was quite suprised actually. In a email from a certain 'GAME's company, I found these words:

'We finished off our Twelve Days of Christmas promotion this week, by naming the editorial team's Christmas Gift of the Year - which we awarded to GameCube. From releases like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metroid Prime to newer stuff like Viewtiful Joe and Mario Kart Double Dash, Nintendo's latest has evolved into the strongest machine on the market. We put together a bundle containing only quality products approved by the team so well done if you nabbed one of those on Monday - if not there's still plenty of options for grabbing Nintendo's little wonder.'

So there, they do like the Cube (at least on the net), despite the fanboy workers in their shops.

That'll learn them indeed to slate it...

GAME AND NINTENDO are now good mates. It has been apparent for a while.

What I would dare to hope is that GAME have realised that the CUBE is starting to sell well and they want to jump on the band wagon and make lots of £££££££££'s

Heres hoping!

Ive got a cube and a PC in my room and my brothers got the 64 in his room and i didnt think we really needed any other consoles. But I asked my mum yesterday what she had got my bro for christmas and it turned out shes got him another gamecube! She spent £100 in our local games shop and got GC with double dash and a small memory card! what a deal!

Looks like me and my bro will be gettin alot of mates round this xmas for an 8 player mario kart session now! get in there nintendo....

I wonder if this has something to do with this new relationship with Ninty.

ACTUALLY the GAME staff in Cambridge are great (there are 3 stores!!!!).

Did anyone notice in the recent GAMES TM when they did a store search to show which system they favour they did everything BUT GAME and everyone supported X-box.

Should have spoken to the mighty SR too.

Yeah it looks better than it did a while ago.
Nintendo has really got their revenge on many of the people who said that Nintedo's price-cut was a desperate move to sell more cubes.

They're ripping you off especially if your the one that made the sell (I know it sounds as if you are a saleman, which in a way you are) because £0.50 isn't even 1%, it would only be 10% if the console cost £5.00 but it doesn't so that is really a crap deal they have going with the employees.

In the original post they are trying to sell the GC. Hence why they are being all nice towards it, to influence buyers.
