Point your browsers to the OFFICIAL European Gamecube site on Monday Morning when this site will go live.
Apparently all will be revealed, units allocated, price and best of all the release of the system with an actual date!
At long last!.
The site is not up and running at the moment as webmasters are working on it adding touches. (Try to go on it, it asks for a password)
It will include a LIVE announcement, hopefully with video or the bog standard audio.
But hey, it's a start. Just think- An 'Actual' announcement.
Nintendo actually are Producing now, at this minute... European Gamecubes!!
Upwire, here on Special Reserve will apparently have an announcement too on Monday.
upwire.com

So what do you think the prices will be?
I'll have a guess at £149.99 for the console, £25 for the Controllers with £15 being for the Memory Cards.
Games I'll have a guess at £39.99 1st+2nd Party with 3rd Party developers discs retailing at £44.99-£49.99.

I could be wrong, but i don't think im far off.
Heres to Monday morning........

We've all heard of the May 3rd Release date.
And of course the price tag at an absolutley Lovely £150(Hear that Sony?).
What I couldn't get over is the SOOO many games!!!
Apparently the biggest number of games for any console EVER!!
With 50 titles before the end of Summer....And Resident Evil will be released in Europe along side Super Smash Bros Melee on May 24th!!
Good news indeed.

No, The Password box seems to be for the Webmasters building NOE's site.
I assume the site will be up and running at 8am tomorrow, expect to have the time of the webcast there.

Update from Tendobox -

The webmaster of French GameCube site Nxtreme tells us that Nintendo France sent out an official e-mail which confirms that the conference and launch date will be happening on Monday. Not only that but NOE will be launching a website at nintendogamecube-europe.com tomorrow where you'll be able to watch the announcement live.
