Mr. Fancypants

Just preordered my gamecube In EB. Its going to be €200 in there and i have a loyalty card so i'll get about €8 back on that. As for Zelda games, there is a brand new one coming out at the end of the year and they are reworking Ocarana of Time for Gamecube. Aparantly it will be a 3 disk special edition with loads of bonus things on it, there are plans for other such special editions of older games too....

I checked with Smyths in Blanchardstown and they said that it would retail 219.99 and they were giveing away about €50/60 worth of vouchers with it! I put my name down for one and will probably go there, best deal I have seen really. Especially if you purchase the console alone then use the vouchers one by one for the games. 8)

I'm really looking forward to Friday, yessiree:D

Anybody got any idea how much Game are selling the Gamecube for?

I pre-ordered mine the day before the price cut was announced...

I preordered my black GameCube in Game today. The console will be €200 but they couldn't give me an exact price for the software. Clerk said "Around €60 for first party titles and €70 for third party". :S bit steep.

After preordering i got an envelope with my preorder slip inside and a cool cardboard GC. Inside it was a 50min video, poster/calander and a Mini-CD with video clips info and screenshots of the system and the games.

Pretty cool IMHO.

€200?
Very cheap, as long as it's not more expensive then other retailers in the end

Oh, I went for the Black one too!:cool:
