GameCube Preorders (1 Viewer)

November 18 is on a Sunday. Anybody think that date is going to change?

The N64 launched on a Sunday too. It's reputed to be a 'soft launch' - stores are likely to get stock in on the Thursday or Friday, and I'm sure a few will sell it early.

Amazon will have them back online for preorders tomorrow:

If you've been to our GameCube Store, you already know the next pre-order opportunity will be October 18. Like last time, we're only telling our
Amazon.com Delivers Nintendo subscribers in advance that the sale will start between 10 a.m. and noon (Pacific Time). We'll post those times in
the GameCube Store the day of the sale, but this advance word gives our Delivers readers a little head start.

The N64 launched on a Sunday too

September 30, 1996 was the official launch day of the N64, which was a Monday. Many retailers broke the street date and started selling them that weekend and Nintendo gave them the go ahead because of it.

Well apparently Amazon sold out again with 2 minutes this time

. According to a post on the Amazon msgboard an employee (who wouldn't disclose exact details) said they had 'thousands' up for presale - take that as you will. Pretty impressive considering the bundles were ~$400.
