Are they doing pre-orders? I'm half tempted to pre-order one from somewhere like blockbuster or ghayme rather than Amazon in the hopes of actually getting one somewhere near release.

Cheers

From ign.com...

Online retailer Amazon.com has updated with an official pre-order page for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the next installment in Nintendo's heralded action-adventure series. Interestingly, the retailer states that the game will ship on November 15, 2005, which marks the closest thing to a firm release date for the title since Nintendo unveiled it.

[snip]

Although unconfirmed, Amazon's date makes sense for Nintendo, as it would position Twilight Princess against the launch of Xbox 360, which is rumored to debut during the same time frame.

All seems to fit.

Wonder what Sony will deliver at the same time?

I'm probably going to buy one since I don't own an X-Box anyway, so I can happily catch up on budget titles for a while.

If the backward compatibility is as good as they say it is then I'll get one (wife permitting) and give mine original to some kid who deserves it as a surprise christmas prezzie.

The Virgin Megastore near me's taking pre-orders for a tenner.

Which is nice.

Is there a price guestimate?

The guesstimator is pointing to
Â£299 or Â£360
