Title: Vancouver BC Gamecube owners?
Post by: CRiXy on May 19, 2003, 11:37:09 PM: *Wasn't sure which forum to post this in*

Any GC owners/players in Vancouver, British Columbia?

Why?

So is there like a point to this or are you just curious? If one of you finds a local store that sells the Gamecube demo disc post it here.

Anybody wanna trade/buy/sell games? (or is there a forum for that already?)

Post by: Matrix on May 21, 2003, 02:14:26 PM: What do you have? I'm sorta interested. There aren't many titles I'd like to part with, but I'll hear you out.

And ditto on Ian Sane. If anyone gets some news about the demo disc, let us know here. I checked the EB at Metropolis a few days ago, and they said "Next month."

Post by: Ian Sane on May 21, 2003, 02:28:24 PM: Next month?! Well I'd say that clerk doesn't know what's what. Yesterday I asked at the EB in Langley (Willowbrook Mall) and at first the clerk said he didn't know but he asked me where I heard about it. I mentioned that several web sites had reported it had been shipped to stores. Since Tuesday was the release day for the US he figures that, according to the unofficial "Canada gets everything a few days late" rule, that they'll get it within the next few days (ie: Thursday or Friday). Now he's obviously just guessing based on previous experience but it's a lot more realistic of an answer than "next month."

Post by: Matrix on May 21, 2003, 02:33:33 PM: Well, the thing is that it wasn't an estimate. He checked the computer, and told me the release date was set for June. I'll be keeping my eyes open, regardless.

Post by: Ian Sane on May 21, 2003, 02:38:49 PM: Really? The Langley EB doesn't have a release date listed so I assumed it would be the same with other stores in the Vancouver area. I still don't think it's a realistic date though. Why would it take so long when any Gamecube game or accessory comes out in Canada only a few days later at the most?

Post by: Ian Sane on May 21, 2003, 08:58:28 PM: I just bought the demo disc from the Future Shop in Seven Oaks Mall in Abbotsford. It's $15. I haven't checked any other Future Shops but I imagine the other locations in the Vancouver area would have them as well.

Well I was trying to trade away a copy of 007 Nightfire for a while but I got rid of it for Eternal Darkness today. But I still have RE0 (sealed) and NBA Street (sealed) up for grabs if anyone wants them?

Post by: Grey Ninja on May 22, 2003, 03:52:03 PM: Well, since there seem to be other Canadians posting here... I may as well say hi too. Lethbridge, Alberta over here. I tried to get the demo disc from Toys R Us today, but they never heard of it. (surprise surprise). I also checked Zellers and Future Shop, but I didn't see anything resembling a demo disc.

Post by: Matrix on May 22, 2003, 04:09:36 PM: For other's living in Burnaby, I managed to grab a copy of the disc. Not in EB. Not in Future Shop. In Zellers, at Metrotown. If you want to get it, hurry, because they're only a few copies left.
