I have posted this in the reviews section but i posted it here as well. So no complaining.

It's nearly here Nintendo Fans. The Nintendo Gamecube will be here 9 days from the day this review was written. So not long to wait now if you are planning on importing one.

Now the Gamecube will be a 4 player console that will come in a variety of colours including gold, silver, purple and red. Nintendo have also decided to go for the option of using CD's instead of their favourite, cartridges. The CD's won't be normal sized like the PS2 and X-Box. They will be mini CD's that ninty say will cost less to make and buy.

Now the games for the Gamecube are looking really good.

With Luigi's Haunted Mansion and Wave Race: Blue Storm as launch titles and Super Smash Brothers Melee and Rouge Leader on the way the future looks good for the GameCube.

Now there will also be a special Gamecube that will cost around £100 more than the original but it will play DVD's. Ninty probably didn't want to be left out of the DVD market as they're 2 rivals have opted to use DVD's.

The console has not yet been set a british price but it should be around £150. Quite a good price for a games console in this generation of games.

So if you really want a Gamecube then it is cheaper than any other console with better graohics so when it comes out. Buy it.

PS. You can pre-order it from Special Reserve for £20.

Thanks 4 reading, Afro

I never knew the GC used mini-DVDs. I thought it used expanded minidiscs.

Rogue Leader is lacking in the multiplayer department.

Just one week before it arrives in Japan.
Is anyone here planning on importing one?
