Could anyone getting a Gamecube today please take part in the following:
Grab a stop-watch, and time exactly how long it takes you to get your Gamecube out of the box. If, in your excitement, you tear the box at all, please also report this.
Once all components are out, record your time here.
The next step is to record how long it takes to set it up. Time from the moment you plug in the first cable, until the time you can see something on the television set. Again, report your time here!
Go on, join the Nintendo Challenge!

10? Christ I'm not that old, and I didn't have them when I was 14! :o)
Anyway, I'll set it up myself, maybe get Lisa to help, like if I need to use scissors to open the box.
Malibu is rather excited though, but she wants Starfox!

Well I could do that, but I'm going to have to wait another 2 weeks before I can play on mine! I decided to have it delivered home because I've got far too much work to be doing at the moment to be distracted with it!
Also, by this statement I assume you think most Gamecube owners are around 10 or something?
