Gamecube Hits US Early

semaj writes "It looks like retailers are being told they can sell them as they come in instead of waiting for the November 18 offical release date. PlanetGameCube has the story. Go!" So, anyone want to get us a review unit or two?

  8. I think someone cracked David-fu's account by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I've seen this guy post on and off for some time and don't think he would be responsible for a troll like this. I would hope that should the /. staff determine the IP address responsible for this post, and should they determine that the poster is not David Fu but someone else who has cracked his account, then /. should call the authorities and request an investigation.

    I suspect the trolls are attempting to crack accounts with low UIDs as yet another attack on slashdot and it's user community. I gotta say Rob, I think it's time you supported SSL authentication while passing passwords and began treating these jerks as if they are attacking your business. Because they are. In this kind of situation the FBI and local authorities are your friend. One or two cases taken to court and maybe the trolls might think twice before cracking another account.

  12. Why Not a PC? by Null_Packet · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I hate to be a spoiler for this kind of great news, but...

    I seriously considered all three of the latest consoles for me and my family. I was open to spending up to about $500 on game stuff, but I came to these conclusions:

    • Playstation 2 has some great titles like Gran Turismo 3, etc. but has no native ethernet or storage.
    • XBox is cool too, but has absolutely zero kid's games. This is a biggie.
    • Nintendo is cheaper, has plenty of titles, and I probably wouldn't bother trying to hook it up to the internet.

    But these are all pretty much irrelevant. The PC makes a great platform, and I already have a couple very good gaming machines. The PC has more titles, cheaper games, downloadable demos, and can and already is connected to the internet. I for one am seeing the console industry getting closer to the closed-up boxen that I loathe. I like building some of my PC's, and the console seems to be heading in that direction.

    I am quite interested to hear what other Slashdotters think about just keeping their PC's (or getting a new one) instead of also getting a game console.
