It was reported on Gamespot as a $99 price drop, this was before the exchange rate became extremely favourable.

I don't think it will drop in America - Look at the exchange rate now, almost (well 1.8) 2 dollors to the pound.

That would make the xbox half the price in Usa as America. Microsoft couldn't drop it to that price, as the losses would be far too high.

Here they could drop it now though.

Remember that price cuts don't always cross the atlantic...could be a Independence day holiday promotion in the USA.

I bloody well hope MS don't cut it to $99...

And yes, the you get the four game Zelda disc free. Which is absolutely excellent and better than any game on the GameCube. For it contains four outstanding games.

I wish I could get my hands on one...

Its not the Wind Waker its the 4 Zelda pack with the full version of Majoras Mask. Although I think you can add any GAME *wink* for about £20 extra.

£79.99 with Free collectors edition Zelda game, I hardly think you will see an official price drop this year.
