Just got back from my midnight launch shift... was an incredible atmosphere.
My job for two hours was to promote Super Monkey Ball to customers who were queueing. I think I did rather well as everyone who was undecided whether or not to get it brought it when they went to the counter.
I worked from 5.00pm till about twenty minutes ago. Was extremely exhausting and the Wimbledon branch did very veyr well indeed.. the queue was three times as long as that of the XBox's.
Anyways, just the atmosphere and everything... and the fact that I loved getting asked question on something I could answer was great.
Sorry.. will waffle.. really excited and tired :D
One nuttah brought an XBox and a GameCube... hehe
Well.. for this reason alone, I feel that GameCube will do amazingly well in Europe. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH EVER IN EUROPE. Thats my prediction.
*chuffed as hell.. with his four control pads, memory card, black gamecube and 'Luigi's Mansion'. Also I cannot wait to get my first paycheque onto my Solo card, then I can buy everything else from SR.*
That rules. I rule. GameCube rules.

I've just got mine home. I got a black one, and although i'd played it before - it's a lot different to what I thought.
For a start, it's quite a good quality piee of kit. I thought the lid would open like a PSOne one, all cheap and tacky, but in actual fact, it's quite smooth and sterdy. The power button is also quite good - I know that's a bit of a sad thing to say, but it's true... it feels expensive.
The pad is minute... and the D-Pad button is miniscule. Added to which, you can hardly tell the difference between the lead and the end bit that you plug into the Cube... that's even smaller than the rest of it!
The pad is great, but it's no WaveBird.
The Scart adaptor is massive, almost as big as the Cube. The Power Unit is also quite big... for a power unit, that is.
Memory cards are TINY!!! I almost lost it... luckily I had some tweezers and a microscope on hand!
(What were you doing with Tweezers and a Microscope... in fact, don't answer that! You freak!)
*cough*
Anyway, all in all, I'm quite impressed. I don't actually have any games yet, so i've been messing about with the Settings for about 15 minutes... I love the sounds! I had to fend off a few people from the nightclub, and my Mum actually had to come out and pay because I don't get paid until 2:00am!
It was fun, and I feel sorry for anyone who couldn't experience it (Midnight Launch) first hand - it was quite a sight.
