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.

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.
