I just received my Japanese Nintendo Gamecube. It is awesome. The three games available are really good showcases of what to expect. I have been playing Wave Race: Blue Storm all night. I know Roem will go "I told you so", but this is definitely far better than I expected. This will be the hottest prezzie for the holidays!!

I heard that the Toys R' Us's sold out real fast!!!

Since you already said it, I have no need to now...lol :D Of course I gotta wait til November to get mine when it hits the U.S....good to hear it's living up to expectation (or exceeding it in some cases) :)

Can I come play with you? I am so anxious to get my grubby lil' hands on the Gamecube. I hope to get one when they are released, but knowing that will be near Christmas time, am keeping my hopes down in case I don't.

I don't think Electronics Boutique has started taking pre-orders yet. You should sign up for their GameCube newsletter: EB Games (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/homepages/gamecube/default.asp)

It would be so awesome if my friend would buy that. I need a job, no gamecube till i do.Anyone rememer Kane234?
