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.

It's Half-ish, so $299 would be something like £160-£170

On another note:

"It just goes to show, the lively and opinionated newsgroups of the net do have a use. The people at our very own UKchatforums.com would be happy to help you escape from your shed, just don't ask Sniper - he's a bit weird."

Made me laugh.

Will SR have Gamecube shopping lists before February?

Let's hope so.

I can see why SR are doing it.
Look at one of Grix's GAD choices from about 6 months back.

He chose Mario 128 based on last years Spaceworld demo.

That demo will now appear on a free demo disk.

It's obvious that Grix's GAD choice was actually the next big Mario game (Mario Sunshine) but it'll still cause a fair bit of confusion.
