Yup, on the official Nintendo-Europe site it's been announced that on the 10th the GameCube's price will drop to £80. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
Also, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, StarFox Adventures and Mario Party 4 are all Player's Choice range on the same day. Too bad I have all of them :-\

As a notable, I had to see the more perverted side to that :D

It does indeed seem to be devoid of any clear logic or reason.

There is of course the two you mention, and then the likes of Gran Turismo 4, Final Fantasy X-2 and a new Eye-Toy disc. I'd say that's a fairly solid 'handful'.

I thought you said that we wouldn't see you in this forum again after you'd sold your 'cube?
Nintendo's problems isn't games; they develope and publish the best games on any formats, it's just they have only a select audience. To me, the GameCube will always have the best quality titles around, both XBox and PS2 do get some brilliant games, but not as many high-calibre releases as the Cube.

Yeah because Nintendo can afford to sell the Gamecube at this price and profit on it ? Especailly seeing as RRP was originally 179.99 that dropped to 129.99 before the launch...
Ultimately, for me, Nintendo's problem is games. I sold mine because the games don't appeal to me, and that's the thing for a whole lot more people. Price cutting won't help, the PS2 is the most expensive console, yet still sells better than Xbox and Gamecube - because of the games. Dropping £50 off the Cube's RRP is going to further p*ss off independent retailers who still support the Cube, and most people with no console will see something that is largely perceived to be failing having it's price cut even further.
Sure, it could work and I could be wrong, but I still think there is more chance of me getting Halo 2 in my Xmas stocking than Nintendo clearing up this Xmas...

Loving Vice City as well. But only 4 weeks to wait for an Xbox version. Tenchu which I enjoy immensly is on Xbox next March.
Manhunt is probably my most anticipated game, I can't wait for this one. Of course Metal Gear 3 as well which Sony have supposedly sealed as a PS2 exclusive with no Xbox version appearing afterwards. I will wait and see on this one.

Pro Evolution 3 is without a doubt the finest sports game to date. Going from an 80% complete demo its already fantastic.
I think everyone already knows what I think of Devil May Cry. Its genius, absolute genius.

I'd say Pro Evo 3 definitely, but Devil May Cry just really isn't the kind of game I enjoy playing.
So that makes one necessary PS2 purchase.
And if Konami would hurry up and release that one game on Gamecube or Xbox I could finally rid myself of the PS2.
