i think you'll be alright. i had one ordered from outpost.com but I had the credit card i used to preorder it stolen and they wouldnt change the billing method on it... i would have to wait till the credit card got denied then submit new cc info and i could loose my pre order spot. i was like uh, no... so i went to eb and picked what i wanted.

haha sorry to hear. thanks for the info, or at least encouragment. hopefully i'll get it.

They appear to be sold out of the cheaper bundle now...only the 4-game one is showing.

Also, I had a question...originally there was a lotta smack being talked about the fact that the extra controllers were 3rd party Interact controllers. I'm not sure about in physical stores, but no where on the website did it say anything about Interact, it just said an extra controller.

Any ideas?

crap! my amazon preorder now says that it will be shipped Nov 28th! to arrive Dec 3-7!! what are they tryin to pull!! these aren't preorders there just waiting till they get a bunch in and then shipping them..

i hope that doesn't happen to me with my outpost preorder....

Thanks everyone for the info about EB B&M... I was able to get to my local EB in Longmont, Colorado and reserve a Cube for me, and one for my brother. I forgot to ask them about trading the interact controller for a nintendo one, but I figure even if i get screwed on that, I can sell it on ebay for 20 bucks then go out and buy a real one. Its worth the small hassle to know that I will be getting my gamecube on launch day :) Thanks again!

Yeah, i really don't think the eb in store bundle is that bad as long as you are wanting 3 games. you get to pick the color of the cube and you get to pick your games.

for anyone interested in a BIG gamecube package that i think is overpriced anyway... here it is at gamestop.com

Amazon's next wave of pre-orders is today from 10am-Noon Pacific Time. Good luck!

All authorizations do that. The merchant cant remove it, its being held by the card issuing bank. You can usually call and get it removed.

there are few more bundles up at ebgames.com in both colors in case anyone is interested.
