This price drop is great news!!!
Not only is it at a worthwhile price at last, but it effectively guarantees that Gamecube will be cheaper on launch in Europe.
Here's looking at a £150 price fo GC.
Thankyou Sony!

PS2 being a bit cheaper is old news now. Shiggy going insane is the in thing at the moment.

No, opinions are always right. Although, YOUR opinion is that opinions don't count, so YOUR opinion is obviously wrong.

Fantavision is 'innovative,' like Nintendo. Now do you see why I find Ninty games boring?

Humm...almost all those games are cartoonie platformers...very dull. I'd rather the PS2, which has a much wider range of games.

What the hell is up with your recently Game? You've turned into a 'newbie,' (definition-annoying, extremely biased, someone no one listens to-this is how I define a newbie. Of course, not all newbies are like that, it's just a name.) Perhaps you're jealous of Sony's success?? Desperately trying to get as much 'success,' as you can from them before you realise that the PS2 is as good as the GC, and in many opinios, better.
