"After famously withdrawing the GameCube from their shelves Argos are to re-stock them.
Argos decided that the GameCube wasn't selling enough so they reduced the price to £79.99 to clear stock. The GameCubes sold quickly and Argos stopped selling them.

A recent advert was found in a newspaper that stated it will be being sold again, at £79.99 to comply with the price cut." -- C-E.com

Good news indeed I think, although too late for it to be put in the xmas catalogue :S Will Dixons/Currys follow suit I wonder?

GREED was the reason - nothing else!

Why?

Because they temporarily stopped selling a console?

Nintendo commented stating that it was likely Argos were to re-sell the console nearer Christmas - they knew it was happening.

Ha! Now they want back under the wing of Nintendo.

If i was Nintendo i would be tempted to tell them where to get off.

Who cares. If someone can't buy a Gamecube from Argos, then they can effortlessly go somewhere else.
