Sounds like they want to be evenly matched with MS, or, they are just ****ting their pants.
-
Sell them as soon as they get them in !
it will come down to prefrence over this week
if the stores can get the GC in on time
yup a very intesting time for us gamers
X box and GC gose head to head oh and a ceartain game called MGS2 is released in the States.

My electronics Boutique is a bunch of Nazi *****es so I probably won\'t get it until Sunday, DESPITE needing to review three games. Bastards.
-

Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
Luigi\'s Mansion
Wave Race: Blue Storm
-

-
I hope it comes out early. Ready for the weekend.

Actually, [mockery] THEY ARE SMART! [/mockery]

Like someone who walks in today and buys a Cube on a whim is going to come blow another $400 three days from now... Holiday rush is on!
.. Now where the hell is the number for the local Walmart (and Toys R Us, and EB... and Babbages! :)) w0000
(Sorry, I apologize now - I\'m on a fanboy high at the moment.)

love ya eik!
enjoy yer GC bro
you know ill get one eventually, how else can i play RE? or the next mariokart [only good N64 game]
:)
-
Yep... I\'ll be up much earlier than normal making heated phone calls. Hey Ryu, at least know I can call to stores asking to see the manager, and when I tell him I work for the press, I won\'t be lying! Heh.
-
Yikes I was scared to venture into this forum cuz\' of ALL the console debating that went on at the previous forum that I posted at, I just wanna put my foot down and say that all three of these systems out are all very good systems that all attract gamers that meet their personal preferences.
i.e. I bought a PS2 over a Gamecube because my love of Metal Gear, and RPGS/Square and mature gaming.
Now an 8 year old would probably want a Gamecube for Luigi\'s Mansion or something cuz\' that\'s what he\'s into
But I\'m surprised at how comfortable and relaxed Nintendo is appearing to be when you know that their really concerned about the future because the Gamecube has only a fourth of the reservations that the X-box has....

ooseven beyoch slaps MM and Shouts "and what about Goldeneye ?!!!!!"
:( :crying: :(
Just for that ill rename my Ape in Black and White
he was called clyde the chimp
:(
-
lol, i did the same thing in B&W
love to slap him around for thowing his poop at people, but clyde does that anyways in real life, hmmmmm
anyways, goldeneye was a cool game, dont get me wrong
but playing a FPS with a joystick sucks
gimme a mouse/keyboard combo
-
Now when people go to buy their XBoxes when the store sells out (if they sell out) then theres the Alternative GameCube thats out early. Must have SSBM......
-
NO such luck here. All stores I contacted said the GC would not be sold early in their store - as not to create a "confusion", including pre-orders. So, I am thinking it depends a lot on the manager of the store and where you live, because around here, no place is going to break launch date.
-
Sucks that SSBM isn\'t a launch title.
EGM reviewed WaveRace Blue Storm and pretty much thought it sucked...
I loved that game on the 64! I remember doing the cheat to ride the dolphin and then going really fast and ramming the dolphin into sharp, jagged rocks.

I\'m trying to get in touch with our local stores, too. So far, no luck.
Toys R Us has this thing where you talk into the phone and a computer matches your voice to a database to see if the game is in.
It goes "Please say the name of the toy or game you are looking for."
So I go "Nintendo Gamecube."
And it asks me again.
"Nintendo Gamecube."
Then it tells me, and this is a quote, "I think you said Playstation 2 game."
I cracked up with that one.

You would think they\'d have someone to grab a phone........

yeah your right its tops for FPS but now and then i like the full fun excitment that is Timesplitters even though its controller for a FPS.
i actually find that my reactions are quicker usinf the controoller than Mouse & Keyboard..
but i lost out on the accuracy
don\'t worry My Titan in B&W is still called Clyde
:D

I\'ll be up early tomorrow making calls. I do know that if it will be released (at this point it is totally up to the store, not Nintendo) then it would not be before the 15th. If not... then Saturday at midnight. *shrugs*
