hamburglers thread about the mispriced Game Cube demo disk at Best Buy reminded me of something I've been wondering about.

Is this new Game Cube demo disk the only one there is?

I wouldn't count the Zelda bonus disk and I've never seen any others for the Cube.

I've got loads of different ones for the XBOX, PS2, PS1 and Dreamcast.

The new one isn't worth anything yet and likely never will be. The Kiosk discs (store demos) on the other hand, are holy-grails in the making due to Nintendo's ultra-strict policies. In many instances, the games are destroyed and then mailed back to show that the deed was carried out. However, I managed to snag a couple complete set of Kiosk discs when all the K-Marts in the Tri City area here closed down. I've got three of each one except the October 2001 edition, in which I only have one, and #10, which I only have one complete one of. And I have numbers 2-9 never opened. I paid a couple hundred dollars for the sets together, and they thought they were ripping me off. Now the only thing left to do is to let them apperciate in value.

I don't care if it's worth anything, that wasn't what I was asking. I wouldn't count Kiosk disks either as those aren't made available to the public.

I just want to know if there are any other basic run of the mill demo disks for the Game Cube.

I think at this point it's the only one there is. And since there is no "third party" GCN (or Nintendo in general) magazines, I can't forsee anyone else making a demo. Surely, NP won't be doing it.

The only other disk is a non-playable Preview dvd for the gamecube. It had Metroid, star fox, super mario sunshine, animal crossings, mario party and other video's.

@syzygy: yeah, i've got that one. I remember thinking it was kind of funny watching Game Cube demos on my PS2.
