Where are they?
How many of you have walked into a shop a discovered a Gamecube is playable?
If so, what shop was it?

1/2pint says there are no demo consoles out! Rubbish! Some of you have played one. I want to play one, but it's a bit late now.
So, everyone, tell me of the playable GC's you have seen or encountered, just to show that Nintendo have bothered.

HMV, London has a GameCube pod with Rogue Leader.
Some fat kid was playing it.

But they're also a business, remember. Besides, they have to make some money, what with the £129 price tag.

Nintendo are asking for £4000 a pod... according to GAME.

Toys R Us might have benefitted from bulk buying, mind.

Nintendo are gits... if only they didn't make all the best games.

That would be fun! 50p per play of the GC!

Nintendo charged shops for the Pods, shops had to buy them...

You mean charge people to play on them? or charge shops to have one?

Anyways, I've seen / played on, the pods in Gamestation, Games, Chips, and HMV!

There everywhere and there just great fun to go play on!

My Local Toys'r'us, Game and EB all have one. All within 5 minutes of each other!

MARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sorry, but the volume was turned up pretty loud on the Gamecube I played in Toys'r'us today...

There is one in GAME in Glasgow, a bit pants. Watched some kid playing Luigis mansion for about 5 minutes the other day.
He turned round after about 2 minutes and said "This game is crap dad, and purple is for girls, can we get a black one?"
It was excellent.

His dad then played it for a while, probably still playing it even after I left the shop. I really hate that shop but it is the only decent one near me.

I start a petition for Tony to bring SR to glasgow. :-)
