$40-50? In my area (near Philly) they go for about $35.00 and www.ebworld.com has them listed at $34.99. Same for the memory cards.
This being the case, $50 is a bit exaggerated.
In regards to availability, the nearby stores (such as EB and Babages) don't seem to have the Xbox or the Gamecube. They do, however, have the accessories for both.
Personally, I don't care how well the Gamecube sells. I like my Xbox and am happy I can get a lot of games for my PS2 (including the old PS games!). I'll wait for a cube...maybe early next year. I just don't like the games I have played on it so far.
