"The Nintendo GameCube has received such an overwhelming
response from the entertainment community that we wanted to do
something special to show our appreciation," says Perrin
Kaplan, vice president, corporate affairs, Nintendo of America Inc.
"What better way to celebrate than by going platinum with the
Nintendo GameCube in Tinseltown?" Christina Aguilera, also in
attendance, commented, "I've got a purple GameCube at home but I am dying for the new
platinum GameCube. My sister
and I have Mario Party battles and I can't wait for more
