Nintendo has put together a spectacular pre-launch event for UK
gamers. In a partnership UK's country's premiere
entertainment retailer, HMV stores in Glasgow, Birmingham, and London
will launch the Nintendo GameCube at midnight on May 2nd.
In the days before launch, large clear cubes will be present at each
of the locations featuring special effect light shows as well as numerous
performances by bands and artists. In London, Asher D of So Solid
Crew will perform on April 27th and 28th at noon. The new band SOiL
will perform on May 1st at 12:30. British pop band allSTARS will
perform on May 2nd at 11:00. Countless other performances will take
place at all of the GameCube launch locations until the moment of
launch.
When the system finally does go on sale, Nintendo will be there
giving away GameCube games and merchandise. Be one of the first one hundred
in the queue to buy a GameCube and
you'll come away with your own copy of Luigi's Mansion absolutely
free. Don't worry if you are not one of the lucky one hundred - Nintendo has plenty of
other goodies to go around.
