Amazon.com is starting Pre-orders Monday, October 8th! We did a report on it & here's what one of our readers sent in. The next round of pre-orders will be on Thursday morning, October 18th!
”Ok...so I was playing around on Amazon to see what info I could locate about the Gamecube. Lo and behold, I pressed this link:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/700404/103-9861100-1906223
And there it was....A description of the Indigo Luigi Pack!!! It comes with the Gamecube, Luigi's Mansion, Madden NFL 2002, and Rogue Squadron. It also contains and extra controller, a memory card, and a
six month subscription to EGM.
So then I decided to use the search engine and look up "Luigi Pack" and what did I find...the PRICE!!! $399!!! It came up as both an Indigo pack and a Jet Black pack.
So what did I do then?? Look up "Jet Black" of course. And what did I find but not only a Luigi pack, but also a WAVE PACK!!! Also at $399. Unfortunately, all the links to these packs are blank and not accepting orders at this time, but this is a heck of a lot of info for a blind hunt, don't ya think??!!!”

LucasArts Rogue Leader Pre-Sell
“If you preorder Rogue Leader from the LucasArts Company store
($49.95), you'll get free shipping and handling and some sort of "mystery
gift." Whatever that is. Though in general, Lucas' free bonus items are
definately not crap.”
“Outpost.com has been selling GameCube bundles for quite a while (I reserved mine there). The price is $300 and they are available in both colors...
You get a game, a memory card, a controller and the system with a controller.”
“We are now taking deposits for the Game Cube! Supplies will be limited so they will be sold on a first come first serve basis, starting with our VGA.com club members then any non-members (if there are any left). We are expecting to have the same type of shortage as there was with the Playstation 2! So don't wait! Prebook today! Price is subject to change (System purchase might be only available as a package deal).”
