Something I'd like to see.

After doing some rough calculations in regards to FZ:GX, It's going to be WAY too expensive for me to even compete in this one.
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're supposed to already have a GC (and memory card) and be playing all the cool games that are out for it, not adding the cost of the system into the FZGX total.

Strange..in my country, the Gamecube has always been around 100 US Dollars cheaper than Xbox and PS2, until recently (Xbox is now the same cheap price as Gamecube..PS2 probably as well).
Like Dave said, shame on you for not having a Gamecube yet Shame!

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.

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*
