Gamecube Hits US Early

Posted by Hemos on from the get-it-while-you-can dept.

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?

  1. preemptive strike by nate1138 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Does anyone else think that this might just be a little preemptive strike against x-box?? Maybe a chance to generate a little buzz with gamers, get some good reviews, and sway some buying decisions before microsoft unleashes their weapon? Gamecube now, or xbox later, I like the now option better, maybe they are banking on others thinking the same way.

  2. This is a great thing for Nintendo to do by bamberg29 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This way Nintendo is getting a jump on Microsoft's X-Box which is getting released on Thursday. Orginally the GameCube was supposed to be released on Sunday, but this way they should hopefully get a lead on the X-Box.
