I'm looking for one too, but so far I don't know anything more than what's mentioned in that thread.

Those two links are the cheapest you'll find for an import. Probably.

I think that just about everybody knows (or at least, they should know) that you can import the Hori controller.
But, as was mentioned in the other thread, Hori is supposed to be releasing the controller in America, sometime this month for $15 American. That's the one we're looking out for.
The links are good for reference though.

I Know that Hori is trying to open a US branch, (I think there first release is the Ace Combat 5 flight stick) but maybe they are having problems shipping them or allocating enough of them. They are also suposed to release the first liscensed memory card for the GCN at the same time and that as well has yet to show up.
I had seen the sale sheets for both these items (the controller and memory card) floating around the internet but I can no longer find them.
SgtShiversBen, If you saw one at a Hastings I'm going to go check the one near me, I will report back tomarrow...err...I mean today. It's always cool finding another gamer from Texas in a message board.

Here are the answers to your questions.
1. Yes, this product will be released in the US with an official license from Nintendo of America.
2. The SRP for this product will be $14.99
3. As of now, the only major retailer that has decided to take on this product is GameCrazy/Hollywood Video (If you would like to see this product in more places, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in bugging the retailers themselves, trust me, I have been trying my butt off to get them to carry this product because I know there is a demand for it.) You also might be able to find it in other smaller stores because we have gotten some distribution support for this product.
4. The memory cards will also be released in the next couple of weeks, but as of yet, we have not gotten any retail support and the product probably only be available at smaller stores through distribution.
5. The controllers shipped out right before the Thanksgiving break, but I am not sure when they will start hitting store shelves.
6. The Game Boy Player will be the 4 th product we have released in the US. The 3 previous products are as follows
- Katana: The Soul Controller
http://gear.ign.com/articles/494/494328p1.html?fromint=1
- Vana'diel Forever: The Final Fantasy XI Clock
http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps2/games/news/36993.shtml
- Flight Stick 2 for Ace Combat 5 (This was a bundle done with Namco)
http://gear.ign.com/articles/562/562988p1.html
Hope that answers some of your questions. If you have any more, please feel free to contact infous@hori.ne.jp or just keep continuing to post on this Bulletin Board and I will check it from time to time
