"Argo's CameCube + 1 game £49.99"

So is this the cheapest price yet for a GameCube?

Certainly good news if you are looking to buy one soon. Not so good if you have just bought one for £79.99.

How much (or how little) profit is Nintendo making on their GameCube console now?

I didnt check the web site, the article was in the Sun news paper.

As far as I was aware they haven't done a new one since the January Sales deal.

I think it's only an in store thing.

Well it should be. Argos are a bit naff though, but I'm sure they are just trying to gid rid of their stock, so no wonder it is so cheap.

Oh well. THEY won't be playing on Resident Evil 4....

Every time I hear that Argos are giving away Gamecubes I rush on to their website, only to find they're the same price as normal. Do these price offers not appear on the website?

Only £50?! That's such a bargain might have to buy a Gamecube for my girlfriend lol. I once paid twice that for a Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Banjo Kazooie/Castlevania 'value' pack.

Strid, I thank you for showing you at least have a half decent taste in games, especially after a head in hands moment in the Sheff Sport thread.

As much as I loved the N64, I missed out on so many classics.

The only games I managed to play were -

Goldeneye - (didn't actually have it but my mate did and I used to go to his house ALL the time to play multiplayer) :D

Super Smash Bros - I completed this game about 100 times. I mean, I couldn't just pay £60 for it, complete it in one day and never play it again, I had to make my moneys worth.

Pokemon Stadium - Really liked the Mini Games on this, the single player was okay I guess.

Banjo Kazooie - This was the only game out of the 5 that I played alone.

Conker's Bad Fur Day - This was the last N64 game me and my mates bought and boy was it fun, again - i'm talking about the multiplayer, the single player was ignored.

The N64 had so many Multiplayer games and thats why I still like it so much. Me and my mates did give Perfect Dark a try (rented it) for multiplayer only cause we weren't really into single player but it wasn't as fun as Goldeneye and the controls were a bit weird.

I was only about 6 - 7 years old when I had my N64 so my opinions on the games are probably different now if I were to play them again but from what I remember the N64 was the only console that sent a big thrill down my spine everytime I played it against my mates.

Then the PS1 came out, I moved away from my mates (:() and I started to play single player games...alone. How boring.

:D

When I had the N64 I used to put money together with my friends to buy the games because they were so expensive but when I had my PS1 and no (close) friends I had to pay for the games myself (well, my parents did...) so I didn't have many games for the PS1.

Anyway, i just hope Revolution is more like the N64 and less like the Cube (not that theres anything wrong with the Cube).

EDIT | Damn, didn't mean to type that much.

:D

Turok for £60... those were the days.

Now games at SR are a mere £27.99

Now there we have some bargains.
