Can anyone accurately remember the day of release prices of the N64 and the GC in the UK please?

I think the N64 was like £300 or something, and I believe the Cube started at a lowly £130.
Could well be wrong though.

Gamecube was penned as £150 and was released at £130 with only one price drop since. I never got the N64 when it was released so I wouldn't know.
Unless you count the cube + game bundle for £130 as a price drop.

Which is blatently a bundle and not a price drop.
You can technically count then the £100 bundle as a price drop in itself following the £80 one a month back.

If you assume that it's probably fair to say the majority of people who buy a gamecube on its own will at some time buy at least one game, then in effect it's a price drop.

I got the gamecube at peak prices... sob... all the extra games I could have got if I waited 6 months... :(
On day of release I bought N64 for £250 and Mario 64 for £59.99 ! (from GAME)
£319.99 in total, bargain eh.

£309.99 even, must chuck calulator in bin.
When I got my N64 on launch day, I got the console (£250), plus all three games (Mario 64, Pilotwings 64 and Shadows of the Empire (I think all £50).
£400.
But it was worth every penney. Seeing the camera fly by and swoop around the Peach Castle at the beginning of Mario 64 is still one of my most treasured gaming memories, but seeing the HUGE boarders on Pilotwings 64 is one memory I wish to forget.
