That date sets up a showdown with Microsoft's Xbox, slated for a November 8th release. The GameCube is scheduled to be launched in Japan on September 14, and at an unspecified date in Europe early next year. Pricing details and a complete game line-up will be announced at an investor meeting on May 24.
