"SR lacks gamecube stuff"

i am a bit miffed at the lack of being able to pre order gamecube games, controllers, etc. does anyone else feel this way?

i think SR are going for the 'lets not doo much GC stuff right now cause probably they are thinking what Nintendo Europe are thinking; 'There'll probably be no release date until X Box is 'dead''.. It's not too difficult to work out even by the average Joe Bloggs on the street that Nintendo are scared of Microsoft.

To Authenticity: Well done Einstein! Of course there's no GameCube stuff yet, cuz there's no launch date yet!! When the launch date's announced, we'll know what games and accesories will be available and when. Then SR can list it al and start planning for it. Just like with the X-box, now we know that the 14th March is it's launch date. We just have to wait and see...

Considering the GameCube is such a good console, I doubt they'll have too much to worry about.

They probably have, but they've got to think about strategy too. They've got Metal Gear Solid 2 and the X-Box to worry about...

Maybe Nintendo havn't decided yet?

It's in the first week of February that the prices/dates are announced, I think... we'll be able to do what we like then, probably.

It's no fault of Special Reserve.

I seriously doubt that, considering the GameCube sold so well in US. So there are very little left for Europe.

just any kinda pre order, like £5 deposite on them and pay the rest when they know how much they will cost

With Nintendo hinting that it'll be released at the end of Feb, I think it's safe to say it'll be released before Autumn

And SR don't know for sure whether the Cube will hit here before Autumn or not.
There'll be an announcement from Nintendo about the release date in early february.
