"What would YOU do for a gamecube?"

check this out, the winners of the "what would YOU do for a gamecube?" competition, enjoy!Topping off a month-long online contest asking contestants "What would YOU do for a Nintendo GameCube?", Nintendo awarded five of its most devoted fans a Nintendo GameCube(TM) before it hits stores on November 18. Corey Olcsvary beat out four other finalists from across the nation to become the contest's grand prize winner with the most creative and wacky stunt -- he became a human "Pikmin" character from the upcoming Nintendo GameCube Pikmin video game by shaving his head, donning a leaf, painting himself blue and munching on a bowl of "Pikmin food" including live worms and crickets. Fans submitted more than 17,000 entries to the "What would YOU do for a Nintendo GameCube?" contest through the newly launched official Nintendo GameCube Web site, NintendoGameCube.com. Olcsvary was awarded a Nintendo GameCube, a Game Boy Advance(TM), a video game software package and $5,000 in cash. Other finalists performed creative stunts at the event including:

- First runner up Jason Siler, age 26 from Illinois, proposed to his girlfriend dressed as Nintendo's Mario character while his girlfriend was wearing a Princess Peach costume.

- Second runners up Lizzy Joseph, age 16 from Arizona, ate a Nintendo GameCube-sized replica of uncooked Spam, cat food and chocolate syrup; and Matthew Knapp, age 16 from Wyoming, painted a Nintendo GameCube logo using only his tongue and various condiments.

- Fourth runner up Jeffrey Hildack, age 24 from New York, juggled several previous generation Nintendo game systems dressed as Mario while whistling the Mario theme.

I think it'd be around the £120 - £150 mark especially as you can import them for £120 at present. Turns out modding them is very simple too, all you need is a couple of screwdrivers, and A/B switch and 2 bits of wire!! US and JAP games on one console for less that £150... Nintendo would kill them selves off in Europe if they released it for anything higher!!

CVG did this for dreamcast and there were things like have a bath in the middle of town wearing a nappy and maggots in the bath

well i think i might get mine in whs as I allready have £10 off from when I bought my GBA! handy or what!

Me thinks about £199.99 in the UK, the US though will probably get it for a about £10 or something stupidly low.

It will most probably be £149.99 or something along those lines.

I reckon a £199 RRP but you'll probably be able to get it for £180 if you shop round. I also think the RRP will go down to about £150-£170 by Xmas 2002.

Thank you for listening. (or indeed reading...)

Well my mum's gonna buy me one, so that's sorted then!
