When midnight ticks over onto May 17, an appropriate place to be might be sound asleep in bed. However, for the rest of us, you'll want to be in EB Chadstone, because they'll be holding the official GameCube launch party for Melbourne. Here's what's going on when the clock ticks over to 12:00am, May 17:

- First and foremost, there's the 'Luigi Lookalike' competition, where people are encouraged to dress like everyone's favourite (or second favourite) Italian Plumber. Best dressed plumber wins a huge (mystery) prize. But it will be huge, so don your blue overalls, green shirts, and slap on a porno mustache.

You want to get paid to have Game Boy Advances strapped to you all summer long? Your wish is Nintendo's command!

Discuss it in Talkback!

Nintendo is looking for 50 people to get paid to demonstrate Nintendo's Game Boy Advance and GameCube this summer at concerts and other public events.

The pay isn't great (about 100 a day), and it's only about a two month gig. But you'll get a slick Nintendo jumpsuit and you'll be the envy of geeks everywhere?

So, what are the qualifications? You'll need to be 18 or older, and you'll need to submit a two-minute video telling Nintendo why you'd be perfect for the job.

Just like last year, LucasArts plans to drop some early pre-E3 announcements. Get the first word from PGC on when you should be on the lookout.

Discuss it in Talkback!

In the days prior to E3, LucasArts plans to officially announce a new title on certain days. According to our sources deep inside the Death Star, the days to head to the LucasArts website for GameCube title announcements are next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

What does this mean? It means there will be at least 3 new LucasArts GameCube titles announced next week. It's not known if they will be GameCube exclusive or multiplatform. It's also not known if these are new titles or just confirmation of games we already know about, or if there will be even more GameCube announcements after next week.

Nintendo's promotion for launch has reached new heights. Well, only 7ft high, wide and deep. Photos and more inside.

Discuss it in Talkback!

Two days ago, at midnight 3 cubes resembling those seen on the GameCube television advertisement appeared outside HMV stores in Birmingham, Glasgow and London. There will be performers inside the giant cubes 24 hours a day until the launch of the GameCube on the 3rd of May. That makes 168 hours of displays at 3 different locations.

These photos were taken today at Covent Garden. The sides of the giant cubes are made of Perspex and there are lights at the front so the inside can be seen at night. The back of the structure can be opened as a door and there are fans under the floor to keep those inside it cool.
