Title: I Preordered a gamecube
Post by: Animal Mother on May 21, 2001, 04:23:55 PM: I preorderd a Gamecube. Software ECT has started taking Gamecube orders, my local store has 30 reservations already, he said they only had 4 Xbox preorders, so they stopped taking them. Kind of tells you what will be more succsessful. But, Nintendo always has succsessful launches. Atleast I\'m guarenteed one!

That\'s weird. My local EB has tons of XB preorders, and I was the only GC preorder. I don\'t think it\'s a indication what will be more popular.

Our walmart here has like literally 100 plus ps2\'s and they arent going anywhere

Whoever wanted a ps2 by now has it so i figure gamecube will be similar, nintendo isnt really a company on shortages

My local EB has a ton of each. I am number 1 on the GC list and 2 on the Xbox list. :D I think they are up to at least 20 on each list. I was shocked when he told me that.

You\'ll never like Windows then. Or any OS for that matter. It is impossible to make any OS 110% stable.:)
