"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.

They will release game based on the price of living. Based on your logic, if a PS2 costs $299 at launch in America, it should cost £599 here (ish, can't remember wther you half or double). But it doesn't, does it, it costs the same price. That's because $299 will BUY about the same in America as it will here. It's worth about 600 loaves of bread. Equally, £299 will BUY the same amount here, about 600 loaves of bread. Therefore, $299 and £299 will buy the same amount of an item (in this case, 1 PS2). Therefore, you can't do straight currency conversions for RRPs because exchange rates fluctuate and may not even be reletive at all.

In response to original message:

Remember everyone, you've still got up to 90 days to claim. So maybe if you wait a while, you'll be lucky enough to claim one. However, make sure you check up on how much time you've got left to claim!

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.

I didn't choose Mario on the basis of that demo... the thought hadn't even crossed my mind.

(Same with Metroid, no doubt?)

Correct. I chose that because it's... bah.

Hmmm... problem being now is that if I do win gameaday, is there actually a game I want at the moment?

ill just wite lik this til gamecube comes out then i wount hav to worriy
