An incident in the same league of the ET videogames being dumped in desert has come to the attention of a common poster on the European Nintendo Forum. When searching the many shelves of a local GAME store he noticed the area normally containing the shop's small collection of Gamecube games was filled with Wii titles. When the customer asked at the desk what had happened to them, the employee they threw them out. Perhaps those who still possess the console should look into taking them off their hands?

While recently taking a gander at what my local GAME had to offer, I noticed that there were Wii games where they usually kept their (realtively small amount of) Gamecube games. This surpised me, so when I made my purchase I questioned the man behind the counter and he told me that in the past month they had only sold three gamecube games, that's three, not thirteen, or thirty, three, and that it was no longer worth selling them. When asked what they did with the games they didn't sell, he told me that they threw them away. Threw them away!
