I don't see the point in buying it before the system comes out.... all you're doing is waiting in line to buy a game that everyone wants.... then just waiting some more for the system....

Buying the game before you have a system that's already out, that I can understand. I did that with FF7 and just played it on my friend's PSX..... but before the system even comes out? That just screams "fanboy"

I say,

If you have the money and the time, go for it. Better to be safe then sorry I think. What if you don't get it, and find it sold out before you get a chance to get it? Talk about MAJOR stress on you. . I wouldn't know what to do myself. . I would sit down and cry. . then go play my Gamecube of course, feel better, and be happy. . but that is NOT the point!! :mad:

[SIZE=1]Well, it's not even out in the UK yet... So, when I get it next year (Feb2002) I'll probably get Starfox Dino Planet and/or Metroid 128... NOT Rouge Leader, sorry I despise Star Wars games....

PS. Luigi's mansion looks a load of crap... wtf do you actually do on it, because I bet it's just pants...[/SIZE]

Hehe, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is why these boards rule. For Star Wars, if I had the money to drop a week early, I definitely would. Not only am I a huge Star War fan, but have you seen some of the screen shots or movies for this game? They totally rule, and make this game one of the best even if you hate Star Wars.

[EDIT] Meant to mention that the gameplay and abilities in this game are totally awsome, and make it worth the game even if it didn't have the title. [END EDIT]

Starfox looks good, and Metroid sounds really awsome(supposed to switch from 2-D to 3-D depending on environment and if there are enemies. . sounds very interesting.

As for Luigi's Mansion - you should definitely check it out. I have heard that the gameplay is very awsome, the graphics are great(including a VERY detailed Luigi), and the game is just great fun. The basic plot(without going into the storyline) is that you run around a haunted mansion, and have to get rid of ghosts. You use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the ghosts. Won't go into it any farther, but there is a lot of puzzle solving involved as well as the fun of searching out ghosts.

[color=crimson][size=1]Uhh, GameCube won't be out in Feb in the UK.

There are rumblings that Nintendo will/has delayed GameCube for Europe until fall 2002 (third quarter of next year). Or at the very least, June/July.[/color][/size]

Well, I suppose I should have stated that I probably won't get a Gamecube until Xmas. I'd buy one myself..... but there's too many PSX2 games coming out this month that I might want to get, along with a few others that've been out for a little while.

My christmas is going to consist mainly of a Gamecube, a MiniDisc player, some blank MDs and CDs, maybe some Siam Shade cds, and the usual money & clothes.

It's not really fanboy stuff to buy a game before the system comes out. It's actually the smartest thing you can do, since I bet there won't be any more copies of Rogue Leader when NGC arrives...

BTW the info on IGN is in the archives, since it's from the last weekend.

[B]The way most people are talking where I live, there'll be plenty of copies, and plenty of GCs to play it on [/B][/QUOTE]

They are just saying that so that everyone will think that no one else is getting a Gamecube, then they are all going to see each other before the stores open to get the Gamecube ^_^ LOL, evil evil people where you live. . . . what, you don't believe me?

Fine then. . *shuts up*

No no, I believe you.

It's just that where I live, that being the middle of the country (Nebraska), there are plenty of establishments that will carry the games and systems. So even if one place sells out, I can just waltz over to another place and buy it. I might end up paying $5 more, but that's five bucks I'm willing to part with.
