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.

Ok.

I claimed Pikmin a week back but it hasn't made its way onto the list.

Do I have to choose another now?

*Homer Simpson moan*

"Meeeeeeka, shuuuuuut uuuuuuuuppppp" :D

Don'y put too many ideas into his head now, eh? d:-D

I predict, well actually, I think GameCube games are going to be released at around £39.99, I'm sure of it. I read it in NGC magazine, me thinks.

Anyway, to make things that little bit easier, Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race: Blue Storm cost 6,800 yen, whereas Super Monkey Ball costs 5,800 yen.

Anyone up for a spot of currency converting? Oh, and don't forgot, add bloody VAT to the sum :-(

(Bloody governmemt...)

Righty-o, 6,800 yen converts to 38.9353.

I bet it will end up to be something along the lines of £44.99 :-(

However, the cheaper Super Monkey Ball works out at 33.2069.
Maybe that will end up to be something along the lines of £39.99, maybe...

What do you lot think?

What do you think, Mr Snuggly?

You can't do currency conversions on these sort of things. It's a long and complicated explanation, so I won't, but trust me: Currency conversions is no giude.

I just did, fool.

And I know what you mean, all that VAT and stuff, pain in the a**e.

Go on, explain why I can't use a currency converter off the internet. All I'm doing is giving you lot some helpful info on the matter, something to give you a guideline, jeesh.

I'll explain a bit more carefully...

I've already CLAIMED (Mr Snuggly said that Prizes claimed still go)
BUT it's not on the winners list (so the claim might not be processed yet)

So Technically, I should see Pikmin on the winners list very soon, although Realistically, I might have to choose a different game instead.

Yes?
