Amazon/TRU GCN Preorders TODAY!

Amazon opened up preorders today ... GONE IN FIVE MINUTES!

Amazon opened pre-orders for its GameCube bundles today around 2PM Pacific Time ... only to shut it down five minutes later. The next "opportunity" is listed as being on the 18th, likely once they process these orders and figure out what's left.

Amazon is selling the GameCube in bundles (much to our chagrin), but they really are a decent deal. Every pack includes Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Squadron, a Memory Card, an extra controller, and a six-month subscription to EGM. Your only choice in the bundle is whether you get Madden 2002 in the Luigi pack, or Wave Race in the Wave pack. You can also choose your color, as the bundles are available in Black or Indigo. (You cannot choose the color of your extra controller.)

At retail prices, this is a fair deal, the EGM subscription comes out to be free.

UPDATE: 1-Click Ordering is disabled for this pre-order opportunity, so be sure to have all of your information at the ready.

UPDATE #2: Amazon.com sold out of their GameCube stock in just a matter of minutes-- possibly less than five (5).

Readers have reported that they refreshed Amazon's GameCube page to wait for the pre-orders to begin, only to find out Amazon was already sold out in the middle of their ordering process.
