Take my Cube..please !
 

Nintendo marked thir Cube's down to 99.99. Which means X Box has a controller out that costs more than a Gamecube console . Sorry to say it but Nintendo must be getting desperate. MAN thats cheap

I'm gonna grab one. Now I can play those wicked Rogue Leader games.

Yea im looking at grabbing one myself. There are some really good games coming out for the cube and alot already out.

Please take mine, nothing much to it...

I'll have yours goodman, just send it to me...lol Free of course...hahaha

Long time Bud,

Sorry I have not been around much, ill send you an update pm as soon as I can.

Well, there's a whole lot more games for it that I want compared to XBox and even put together with the Dreamcast I bought when they were selling the last ones. A controller that costs over $99? Wow, never knew controllers could be so expensive.

Nintendo gamecube is dying, if anyone cant see that there either a hardcore fanboy or just silly.





Oh il have it, oh wait a minute the shipping would cost more to buy one new, nevermind.

I was reffering to the Steel Batallion controller. (If you can call it a controller. Or maybe it didnt cost over 99, I dont remember)

And I dissagree about Cube having more and better games. X Box Live alone is enough reason to get it over a featureless Gamecube. And once Halo 2 comes out people will be saying "Mario Who ?" "Nintendo, whats that ?". But, all joking aside, I just hope they stick with thir plans to release a new system in 2006. Id like to see them get another chance to adapt to a market theyve seemingly lost touch with

Well, to me compared to the XBox it really does. I don't think any other system has more games that I'd like to get than the PS2.

$99.00 HOLY SH*T!!!!
 

WOW!

$99.00!!

yep they MUST be getting desperate!!


for the price of a GAME (not controller!)

well over here in NZ anyway.

and there is a Gamecube Pack out with 3 games of your choice, 2 controllers, and a memory card for just $145.00

HOW FARKING CHEAP IS THAT????

BUT I STILL LOVE MY BELOVED PS2!!

AND NOTHING WILL OR CAN REPLACE IT!! (except maybe PS3!!)

LOL

LOL:greed: :cussing: :spidey: :cowboy: :artist:

I don't think Nintedo dropping the Cube's price to $99.00 is a big deal. So Nintendo's sales might not have been what they wanted so they dropped the price in hopes of pushing out more. That doesn't mean that they're desperate. More stategic if you ask me since Christmas is right around the corner it's prolly one of the best moves that could've been made. I'm sure most people will compare prices not just think oh X-box has halo 2 better get that. I'm no fanboy or anything I own all the next gen consoles out right now this is just my opinion.

Well i am not sure how much it costs now.. but when i bought the game when it first came out the whole setup ran me 250 bucks

And considering the game (Disc) itself wouldnt cost more than 59.99, that means the rest, nearly 200 bucks is the cost of the controller. Thats almost two Gamecubes my friend, TWO !. Of course it's probably cheaper now :cool:

I see where your coming from. Thats even how I kind of felt after the price drop before this one. But come on. 99.00 $ ?. When your droping a 200.00 $ piece of hardware down to 99.00 $, theres a little more than strategy at play. I mean, if it were a good strategy to drop prices that low Microsoft and Sony would have done it themselves. Clearly they are better strategists* than the good folks at Nintendo

You are right about people possibly leaning towards the Gamecube slighly because of its price though. But that doesent change the fact that the reason there dropping it so low is just to peddle off as many of thier inferior systems to non gaming parents looking to buy thier kids something for christmas as possible who see it and say "wow that one's cheap, Ill take it" as possible.(I hope you can make sence of that long winded sentance) I dont mean to bash Nintendo or anything, Ive still got love for my main man Mario, but they need help, LOTS of help. And a blind man could have seen the flaws in the Cube form day one, big mistake.

Maybe they're really desperate, but with this strategy they're selling a lot of Cubes! And I would't despise the idea of getting one for that price, only to play Zelda and MGS which is still to be released... :blush:

They NEED to cut the prices in the games, not the console. People don't buy the console not because as itself it is a failure, but because hte games are not so appealing. I got it only for Zelda and Metroid and RE's. When it comes to a console I honestly don't give a damn on how much it costs since it's a one time expense, unlike games, which I'll be buying constantly.

This thread has officially peaked my interest. I still think that dropping the $200.00 machine down to $99 is a good stategy. It's all about the neverending console war. Here's my point let's say that sales of GameCubes start rising at an alarming rate. What do you think Sony and Microsoft are going to do? Just sit there and watch Nintendo beat them out? No, they too would probably end up dropping the prices of their machines. It's all about competiton. Vicious I was just wondering what were the flaws you mentioned that the GameCube had since day one? The only thing that bugs me about the system is that crappy controller and even that can be gotten used to.

I agree. But the whole point of lowering the system price is to lure people into getting It. Then they pay out the big money through buying games. Games are what bring in the most revenue. So I dont see them lowering the prices of the games, and if so, certainly not by much. I theink theyd lower the Cube's price to fifity bucks before they made the games cheaper. It would be nice though

Now your makin sence ;)
