When I was going in to toys r us to pre-order my gamecube I noticed that a new games section had been added. Bigger than the rest. It was the Nintendo gamecube with people hovering around trying to play. But the coolest thing there was a timer saying how many days, hours, minutes and seconds left. When playing it I had made up my mind. Nintendo Gamecube is the best. Has anyone else been to Toys r us and played on it. What do you think of the display and the console?

I was in there the day they were setting the thing up in my local Toys R Us store, and I even saw them taking the thing out of the box!! I stood and watched as they plugged the countdown timer in and switched it on...a fine moment!
Needless to say, I was the first to play it on our local store, and I was pleasently surprised by several things:
1) The size of the unit. It is bigger than I thought it would be, but yet is still very small.
2) The controller - it's *AMAZING*! Easily the best controller to be developed for many years.
3) The games - wow!
I loved the original Waverace, so that was the first demo I played. It was a bit hard, but I expected that from the reviews I had read. So, I just splashed around a bit. I then went on Star Wars, and had to slap myself to stop myself thinking that I was actually in the film!! Luigi's Mansion was next, and although I wasn't too impressed with the gameplay, it sure looked nice.
Overall it was everything I had expected from the system, plus a little bit more.
The only thing I didn't like was the purple colour - very dull and "washed out"; good job I've bought a black one then eh?!

I read in a Toys'r'us advert that with every Gamecube pre order you would get a free carry case thing, just thought I would tell you lot ! :)
There wasn't one in my local Toys-R-us when I was in town last weekend...
However, I played one in dixons...
I saw the counters in the shops though.
