First signs of the UK Gamecube pre-order schemes have started to show, with Amazon kicking off the online retailers offerings.
Both the Purple and Black consoles are available, priced at what would appear to be a competitive £149.99.
Neither item is listed yet on their main Gamecube page, and can only be found by searching their products, so presumably they are yet to officially announce their pre-order scheme. No bundles or games appear to be available either, but no doubt that'll change soon.
As soon as other retailers announce their Gamecube pre-order scheme, or Amazon add the launch titles and accessories to their product listings, then we'll let you know.
Update: Nintendo have since confirmed the true UK price after a price row erupted with retailers. This has seen Amazon reconsider their price, with the machines now available for £164.99 - Amazon.co.uk are honouring all customer's orders who pre-ordered GameCube at the £149.99 price.
