prize variation is sick. Here in Sweden (europe) a gamecube is like 200 USD and if your is 100 then thats just too much of a difference for me to get any sleep.

He didn't say $100, he said $100 CHEAPER than the other systems.
In the USA, GC is currently $150, while PS2 and X-box are each $200.

heh I've been waiting ever since the GC came out for the price to drop to a reasonable level that I can afford.
Sorry, but I'm not making $20-30/hr. I only get $8/hr.
I'd like to make that much though..... Would help with a lot of expenses that I have right now.... lol

?? Gregg, I gotta find out where you shop! The systems are priced at $150/$200/$200 in EVERY store I go to, as well as EVERY sale flyer I receive in the mail or with my newspaper.

Kind of evil..in Europe, a Gamecube is 199 Euro (equals 199 US Dollars), and the games are 60 Euro, opposed to 50 Euro in the USA.

All prices are in CDN $ and w/o taxes.
GameCube: $229.00 - $299.00 MemCard: Roughly $20.00 FZ:GX: Roughly $70.00
Total: $319.00 - $389.00
Come on, Nintendo..... I've seen PS2's at a slightly lower price($189.00 CDN, System only) than that.
IMO, since the layout costs for this are going to be that much, I'd kinda like to see a PC port of FZ:GX maybe 6-9 months down the road from the GC Release.
I certainly would NOT mind the wait, especially if it means the start up cost is a lot less. Sorry, but there is NO way on the face of this Earth I'm paying that much just for ONE game. |

Barry, you can now add to the mix that beginning in late June, for a limited time you'll be able to purchase a Gamecube bundled with a FREE GBA Player. Does that help a little?

Possibly, but I'm gonna have to scrimp and save for the next few months.... Might have to do a bit of running around though to see if I can find that deal(If Zellers doesn't have it).
Free GBA Player... *EFG*
