Whoo hoo! Got my pre-order in at Gamestop, with six games (Luigi, Wave Race, Super Monkey Ball, Madden, Rouge Squadren and All Star Baseball), two conrollers and a memory card :)
One month to launch - can't wait. Only "problem" is that I've gone for a US machine - so all the game's I've claimed as GAD's from SR won't work on my Cube - my wee sis will be pleased when she inevitably picks up her UK GC and I hand her a pile of four games for nothing!
Just wondering - what do people think on the pre-ordering situation? Nintndo have totally messed it up, in my opinion. One month to go and they still refuse to tell US retails how many consoles they'll get - that's ludicrously bad planning. They're actively discouraging pre-orders too, may Nintendo want some of the PR friendly queues that weren't occuring in Japan because the pre-order process there was so efficient.
Another interesting thing to note - I can get an American company on the other side of an ocean to deliver me a console (in N. Ireland), transcending international boundaries, tax authorities and continents. However, SR can't manage to get a console to me and we're under the remit of the same postal service...

Why didn't you just wait for the UK release?
Ask SR if you can change your GAD prizes

Why can't people jus wait?
But I understand !!!

Because I'd rather have the thing now than wait - the price difference will work out at almost nothing and I get my Gamecube now.
Don't want to ask Special Reserve to change the GADs as my sister will be happy with them. I didn't write the posts that won them hoping to get games, so if the unexpected bonus ends up going to my family rather then me I'm not too fussed, I'd be glad for the wee scamp to have my free games.

Oh I will - I think I may have to take a few days off Uni to sit at home and have some quality Ninty time :)
