GameCube $99 Price Drop Now Official

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday September 24, 2003 @05:44AM from the cha-cha-ching dept.

Michael_Blessed writes "An MCV story confirms the official GameCube price drop to $99, effective tomorrow. Strangely, this brings it to a similar pricepoint as the GameBoy Advance..." There's an official press release over at Yahoo which clarifies that the deal includes no bundled games, but "opens an $80 price advantage over its two console competitors", and quotes NOA President, George Harrison, as saying "So far in 2003, Nintendo GameCube is the only home console showing an increase in unit sales compared to 2002." We reported on Amazon's ahead-of-time price drop yesterday.

Of course, the article doesn't state either way whether there will still be a pack-in/free game/Game Boy Player, or if they are moving to only a demo disc inside. Most of the freebie games are now player's choice titles, so it's still $130 as opposed to $150, so that can still help.
