Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150
DarkZero writes: "According to Planet Gamecube, Nintendo, as was expected, has dropped the price of the GameCube to $150. As the consoles currently stand, the GameCube is $50 cheaper than both the X-Box and the PS2, letting it retain half of its price edge on its competitors. Neither Sony nor Microsoft has commented on it yet, but Microsoft might decide to lower the price of the X-Box a little bit more in retaliation. Yay, competitive pricing!"
Man, and for a second I thought you were gonna say "The best a man can get." I'm supprised the X-box has stayed competitive this long. The super powerful hardware is fine and dandy until you figure out no one is publishing anything worth playing for it. Thank you very much, I'll play my PC games on my PC and my console games on my consoles, namely the PS2 and Gamecube. Who really needs a bloated PC port machine anyway?

There are still games coming out for the Neo Geo too; obsolescence doesn't mean it doesn't function.
From what I've heard the Euros were creating (and selling at retail) Amiga and Sega Master System software years and years after they disappeared in the US. Poor provincials.
