How do you know that???
:)
The video slipped out of nintendo on friday night.
Nintendo filmed it, and was going to make it availible once the counter had got to 0 on the official site at www.nintendogamecube-europe.com
If on monday at 9am, you want to see for yourself, It will be the same video!
May 3rd might seem like a long time to wait, but 1 million consoles will be shipped throughout europe. Therefore, we should all get a launch cube! I ordered mine in october so fingers crossed.
