...always contain unofficial peripherals?

Although I don't plan on buying one just yet, I've been looking at Gamecube packages around the net to see what's available, and they all have unofficial 2nd controllers and memory cards etc.

I'm a bit of a stickler for official add-ons, and I really dislike not being able to get a package with extra official bits and pieces. Which means I'd have to buy separately and pay more.

I demand official extras in package deals!

I buy it all seperately too because I'm a REAL gamer.

With NO money left.

Somewhere between 'fairly' and 'very'.

It won't be just yet though. Two to four weeks, I reckon.

Two possible reasons:

1. There's always a shortage of official peripherals atlaunch as everyonw wants them.

2. It helps bring the cost down. Offical stuff is always a couple of quid more expensive. And if you chuck in an extra pad and memory card, a couple of quid off each could make your bundle cheaper than everyone elses, so more people buy it.

Just out of interest, how interested are you in getting a GC?
