Looks like I may have to make good on my promise to buy a Gamecube for every tv in my house. Everybody is reporting that Nintendo will lower the GameCube price to $99 by the end of September. Whoa. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I bought an N64 bundle for $100.
Although realistically, the GameCube been at $100 for months now... the ongoing bundle deal gets you a Cube for $150 plus a free game. Games cost $50. That's easy math.
Here's my prediction. I will now begin looking for a second broadband adaptor. Once I get that - and some LAN-enabled games hit the racks - then I'll get a second Cube. The only downside is that I'll be forced into buying double couples of those LAN titles. Double-Double Dash. Ick. However, fullscreen in-house no-lag multiplayer on games that don't suck against people I know? Worth it.
And if we flash forward to 2006, some lucky family member or friend will likely inherit one duplicate Cube. I'll start entertaining requests, should you be interested. (My entire PS1 collection is currently in my parents' basement.)
Now, will the GBA prices get a bump down as well?
