Gamecube Zelda restock?

omalleyTown

Is todays shipment the only delivery of this game or will more be availible before next weekend?

I cant believe nintendo wouldnt be able to flood the market with this game or are they trying to discourage the cube version so we will still have a reason to pick up a Wii in the new year?

Im really mad at game too. I was in the Henry street shop a week ago and they told me that only Dawson st. handles the cube games. So this morning I walked past Henry st. only to be told later that Henry st. is the only place to get non-preordered copies. By the time i get there on my lunch break they've sold out.

I hate that shop so much

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. I don't think they ever wanted to release it on the Cube once it became clear that it would be a Wii launch game, but because they'd hyped it up for so long on the Cube, they had to. GAME in the Square seemed to have a few non-preorded copies if that helps.

Did you have a look in HMV and Smths? Both of them still have some gamecube games in stock, chances are they will have this(or had it earlier today). I don't honestly think this will be restocked, at least not in decent numbers, if recent "big sellers" on the cube are anything to base my opinion on anyway.

Surely some of the game shop staff boardsies will have more insight than me...

Saw a bunch of copies sitting there in Henry Street about 3 o'clock and a fair few in GAME in the Ilac Centre (where did that come from?).

Was tempted.

Yep.. it's only been open for about a week or so. Not entirely sure what the point of it is though... but I guess the Henry Street one is very small and gets really crowded sometimes.... brrrr... flashback to queuing for Wii Play with hangover....

loads of copies of it in Smyths in Blanchardstown for Wii and gamecube.

A friend mentioned there is also an offer somewhere pay 20 euro more and get a free gamecube.

Sure the GAME in the Ilac centre was selling new GameCubes for €40.
I couldn't believe it when I seen it.
