"NOE are happy to report that this Christmas is going to be one to remember for Nintendo. We have successfully sued over 40 games importers across the UK and are currently chasing another 13. We have spent £28 million on bringing these evil importers to justice. We are looking to the future. We have decided that it would not be prudent at this time to lower the price of the Gamecube but we have some great offers for this festive season. A black Gamecube, a third party memory card and Turok, all for just £175. We feel at NOE that our advertising strategy is working very well and we will not be increasing our advertising budget. Due to this exciting Turok package we have decided to delay the launch of Mario Kart Double Dash!! until the spring of 2004 as some of the tracks have flowers in them and we feel that the game will sell better in the Springtime. We will be having a major launch event for Mario Kart, the best Nintendo have ever done before. This massive event will take place in the car park behind the Queens Head pub in Scunthorpe and we hope to attract at least 12 people to this amazing launch party. As part of our gratitude for the excellent work carried out by the staff at NOE HQ we have decided to give everyone here a bumper Christmas bonus. We look forward to what the future holds for NOE".
You may call me cynical, but its not as daft as might think!
And with a price drop in the US already taken place recently (erm.. I think), it should be going down in price in the run up to Xmas in the UK!
