Have you got any GameCube demos for sale? Email [email protected] if you have. I've already got Zelda and Splinter cell (though SC is scratched real good so I need another.)

Thanks.

With all the titles coming out in the future a demo would help those who are unsure what games to get and for people like us who know that the titles will be worth it, the demo could keep us amused until the release of the game.

Miyamoto likes to keep his games hush but a demo of Pikmin 2 wouldnt spoil the game. We already know about the characters. Just give us a small level where we could get an idea of how the game would be played, try out the new Pikmin, attack a few enimies and so on.

I think it's a big shame there aren't more demo discs available.
I remember many years ago when the N64 was around, people I knew were getting PS1 demos with their official mags, and the ability to play small demos of lots of new games was great, but owning a console which used carts didn't allow demos, and I was always slightly jealous. Then when I got my PS1, playing demos was great at helping me see whether certain games are any good.

Fast foward to today, we have a disc-based machine, so there's no real reason why we can't have regular demo discs is there?

Demos are useful. They often do help in helping to decide if a game is worth getting. Not too long ago I purchased Battlefield 1942 and then even more recently Tiger Woods 2004 on PC purely because I had played the demos and really enjoyed them.

There are none for sale right now. The only ones that I know exist are the Splinter Cell, Viewtiful Joe, P.N.0.3 and the ones used in the shops that are updated rarely.

I'm a card holder there and have bought Cube games, have the Viewtiful Joe demo's been sent already (has anyone got one yet ?) - as the game is out fairly soon.

Probably if you pre-order... don't quote me on that mind.

Can you actually go into GAME and pic them up, or do you have to be a member?
