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.

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?

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.

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

Does Best Buy do that, too?
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.
