I've kept up with the Gamecube library even though I haven't been able to do the DP Gamecube guide here anymore, but I never gave much thought to all of the console bundles released for the Cube.

I've searched the DP site, and have seen many different threads with bits of information, but I don't think they're complete, and it's kind of tough to piece all of them together.

SO, with the Cube entering what will probably be the "silver" age of it's lifecycle, I wanted to get a single thread going with a comprehensive listing of the console releases for the three major markets, as well as some other neat tidbits related to the hardware.

I am hoping to get some confirmation about these as well as fill in any missing holes (again, I don't know that I have them all...)

Pictures of the bundles in their boxes, as well as the pack-in games are GREATLY appreciated.

CONSOLE RELEASES:

US

Black system

Again, this is all of the information that I could gather from other threads and bits and pieces here and there.

ANY information, corrections, etc is encouraged and very much appreciated.

Last thing - for the life of me, I cannot seem to find any of these for sale anywhere (excluding the regular consoles, the Pokemon XD, and Mario Party bundles, which can be found easily.)

If anyone has recommendations on where to obtain these, that info is much appreciated - please PM me, rather than wasting space in this thread.

Please only offer VERIFIED information, as I'd prefer not to encourage rumored releases. Thanks in advance to everyone who can contribute to this list.
