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 remember when I used to buy N64 games for £50.

Silly me.

Argos stopped selling most Gamecube stock a while ago.

They are still selling a few player choice titles and the Mario Kart/Platinum Gamecube combo for the price of £79.99...

It was just the old gamecube bundles that weren't selling that they wanted to shift.

Are you serious? I bought Metroid Prime 2 for 32 quid, brand new, on the day of it's release from Gamestation. When the gamecube first came out, the games were at around 40, but these days you can pick up most of them for 10 pounds, if they're pre-owned. I suspect Gamestaion would be selling Super Mario Sunshine for 8 pounds at the moment.

And they're selling Super Mario Sunshine for 20 quid, so not very cheap either.

Replace 'often' with 'never', and you're there!
