I think i have a few reasons why for this Question, Thats what you all want eh? Or maybe what i say will open more doors to questions. Yahoo :) Here it goes anyway,

Maybe Nintendo gets more of a profit from letting only certain stores to play these demos, I'm guessing HMV Paid huge amounts of money just so they can have Gamecube Demo Discs in the stores, Its a plus to Nintendo beacause when it comes to selling Demos on the official Mag. Isn't it that the Mag gets more out of it rather then Nintendo itself? (First Dorr opened) :)

Another idea that the Disc, is hard to make lots of copies of them. Its a guess which is probaly the answer to it all but however, It could be not :P

But i personally love to play Demos on my litt'e Gamecube at home rather then having a old lady waiting her turn on the gamecube pod in Game... Scary.

But however a result to this is.. Rent, Ok, Maybe you don't get a mag which tells you everything you want to know while you are drinking your tea/coffee while on the computer also chatting on Ukchatforums. But you do get the full version. And if you can complete the game within 3-4 days having played through a brilliant plot or gameplay. Its worth it, At the same price of a Mag. :)

Oh well.

COME ON NINTENDO!!

It'll just be a GBA case or a Gamecube game carry wallet. Or something equally mundane.

I think NGC's 'Best Gift Ever' will turn out to be a demo disk. They said in the last issue it would be out in the next month or two.

If you don't know already: Taken from Cube-Europe:

"Nintendo have shipped a demo disc to stores across the country!
The demo discs which will only be playable in stores will feature playable demos of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metroid Prime as well as video demos of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, 1080 Avalanche, Wario World, and Black and Bruised.
There are no current details on where and when these demo discs will be launched. It will be soon and probably be in places such as GAME, HMV and anywhere else with Gamecube pods."

But I want demos for me, to play at home...

I thought one of the mags were giving a demo disk away soon?

The GC Pods have demo disks. So they obviously have them somewhere.

Grr. I want to buy mags and play demo's of new games. Now.
