"Gameaday notice - please read"

From now on, anyone wishing to claim a Gameaday prize MUST choose a game we have in our current database. Unfortunately, this means NO more Gamecube games for now. Up until when we have Gamecube games in our database (closer to the UK release), you won't be able to choose them as your prizes. This is due to the fact we don't know how much the Gamecube games are going to cost, and don't want to break the bank forking out money for you lot every day (not that we don't already ;p)

Anyone who has already claimed a Gamecube game can keep their claim, but you, won't be able to claim any more. We'll update you on the situation when we know more about pricing and stuff. It doesn't mean you won't be able to claim them when they're released, just not now.

Thanks for your time.

Thats true but it seems like a reasonable guesstimate.

Yes and No, respectively.

GC discs will be more expensive than any other system as usual, because of Nintendo's anti piracy shenannegans.

The N64 games were more expensive because the cartridges were only available from Nintendo, and for every copy of the game sold a cart had to be bought from them by the publisher at £7 each (even in bulk). This forced the price of the games up, as the publishers had to make the same amount of profit as the other format publishers to stay competitive.

The new discs that the GC use are only available from Nintendo, and will have to be specially made. The publishers will have to buy them again, and the prices will be high again.

Hmmm Gamecube £200 i will put money on 175 aboiut £25 nah i think it will be around £160 bt it is bigger so more VAT erm £175 probably who knows.

damn you at SR!!

i was gunna try and make a really good post and win one


PS at release they should be about £45- £50

The Gamecube will be £200 - Definitely!

I don't have any inside informatio or anything, but it isn't the same as the Multi-Region, Cheaper, GBA.

I'd pay £200 or even £300, but I don't think we'll be so lucky as to only have to fork out £150 - £170!
