Meka's post prompted me to check and discover the most interesting Euro release information EVER!

The release date is weeks away from announcement but Germany seem to already know, more than 6 shops havea 15th of march release date scetched in, NOE said to one person that wave race is coming out march 15th or 22nd whats with that?

Then theres the Australian advertising the Gamecube launch already????

Nick Martin emailed Cube-euro and said that in his local EB a member of staff told him that the GameCube is to release on the 13th March, and they were to get a playable system in store the middle of February.

And more interestingly prices...

GC GAMES ARE: 59.90 Euros which is about £37'ish,
that is apparently the price of a game but expect it to end up as £40, and
looking at ngcshops's GC price of 249.90 Euros, That works out at £154.60,

Could my £160 price tag prediction after doubling the GBA's price be proven (double american GBA price = American GC price)???

Wow thats quite good news a game and a console for £200, dont take this as concreate info though, could all be wrong in the morning.

...that you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Some German shops have release dates as March. This doesn't mean the UK's will be the same. It just means that some Germans have dates. They may well be speculation also. Nintendo said April/May. You can't possibly know any more than that!

WRONG!

Nintendo said Gamecube is coming out in April or May announcement ion actual date this month...

American date announced 2 months before launch...

Hang on this month there announcing it and 2 months before launch? could this mean...

I highly doubt that the GC will come out that early. I mean only leaving two months between announcing and releasing is cutting it a bit fine. And have they started manufacturing PAL GCs yet? Not that i've heard anyway.

Didgi predicted that it would be unlikely that the GC will arrive before the summer, and I believe them.
