Gamecube for $99 - official announcement

[MIDIman]

Well - its finally official!

Text

some highlights:

Nintendo's move was not expected to trigger an immediate wave of retaliatory price drops by competitors Sony and Microsoft, as has happened with previous price moves.
... ... ...
Nintendo executives have vowed they won't enter the market behind competitors, as happened with the current generation of consoles, meaning details on a new Nintendo console could come as early as next year, Pidgeon said. "They may announce sooner than Microsoft or PlayStation," he said.

EBGames finally officially dropped to $99 and still have a $30 EB voucher (ends October 4!) when you buy a GC (new or preowned) with a $20+ accessory and $30+ game. Here's what I'm thinking of getting:

GC - $99.99
Mario Sunshine - $29.99
Memory Card - $19.99

Total = 149.97 - $30 EB voucher

Shipping is only $2.99 (5-10 days) up to $9.99 (1 day)

I remember when Dreamcasts dropped to $99, a few months later they went EOL.

 

[DaCurryman]

Awesome. I may now pick one up for my little brother!

Great system, but not alot of great games for mature gamers. I have only thouroughly played metroid and zelda. I would like some better games

Don't think so. They just inked a contract with ATi.

Resident Evil series, P.N. 03, Soul Calibur 2, F-Zero GX, Ikaruga, Time Splitters 2, numerous sports titles, and many more is not enough for you? BTW, some of the "kiddy" games like Super Mario Sunshine are pretty fun for us "old timers" too.

Also, search for the 30% off at KB Toys thread to make this deal even hotter!
