GC even cheaper!

[Gorxon]

As a answer to Microsoft's price slash on Xbox, Nintendo's doing the same...from 249 euro to 199!

 

[Macca]

yup, its also dropped in Australia from 400 to $330 (like getting a free game)

Some nice numbers for us aussies;

"Nintendo has committed 50,000 units of NINTENDO GAMECUBE to Australia for the launch month with an estimated 200,000 for 2002. Day one will also see the most impressive and extensive line-up of software titles ever seen for a console launch, with over 20 software titles available, growing to over 50 titles available by the end of the year. "

Congrats Raging fuel, you just got 70 Bucks!

someone worked this out and i am too lazy to check.

Xbox - $399.99 AUD = $216.21 USD
Gamecube - $329.99 AUD = $178.37 USD

While in the us they still have to pay 200 GC and 300 $hitbox
gotta love getting a better deal than the states

Go nintendo Australia i say!

*Stalkid64 runs around happily!*
Hmm... quite what UK retailers will make of that is another matter. They who lopped £20 on the price when it wasn`t seen as profitable enough at £150. Mwuhahaha! GO EVIL NINTENDO! GO!

CHEAPNESS FOR EVERYONE!!

 

[Remote]

CHEAPNESS FOR EVERYONE!!

*lol* Well, not really. Not if you are interested in a X-box...

 

[Josep]

aw x-box ahh *thumbs down* gamecube has been $199 in america for quite some time now

 

[Stalkid64]

I`m waiting to see how the retailers react to this... heh heh heh. My guess is we`ll possibly end up paying the original £150 price if they decide to change it (possibly Nintendo`s intention?)

 

[Brokic]

How are the GC going so far?

 

[Brokic]

I meant the GC sales... sorry

 

[Jaz]

[Gorxon]

woolies are offering GC 4 £199.99 w/ 1 game... woolies r gay...

 

[Stalkid64]

They haven`t updated their price yet according to a friend who works there. It *was* only decided yesterday that it`d drop. Nowhere had updated it this morning when I looked... amazon, gameplay and all the usual still have it at £169.99.

 

[blizz]

woolies still sells games? last time I looked they barely had any of their once wondrous pick'n mix selection.

 

[Smiff]

why are you looking for games in the pic'n mix section.. try the games section, it's in the middle near the DVDs.. with a huge Gamecube sign.. can't miss it blizz

 

[Smiff]

the pick'n mix section is good for sweets though.. you can be munching those while you play with your gamecube
