"Slightly shocked by Gamecube software prices"

Now it is hardly a suprise that in the January Sales Gamecube games are at an all time low. It is the same with every console... but nevertheless i am still stunned.

These are all high street prices (I will not disclose information on WHERE they come from as everyone should buy at SR).

Resident Evil: £19.99
Eternal Darkness: £19.99
Die Hard Vendetta: £22.99
Mario Party 4: £29.99
007 Nightfire: £26.99
Super Mario Sunshine: £26.99
FIFA 2003: £24.99

Now those are the shockers for me... it is a shame bar Die Hard, FIFA and 007 that I have them all but a new game like Eternal Darkness for the price of a PS2 platinum game! Shocked... now the games below are less shocking but some of these prices have been around PRIOR to the January sales... they're are less well known games... some are stunning but overlooked games... others are plain rubbish.

Star Wars: Clone Wars: £29.99
Lost Kingdoms: £16.99 (GO GET THIS NOW)
FIFA WORLD CUP: £14.99
SSX Tricky: £19.99
NBA Courtside: £17.99 (damn fine game by all accounts)
NHL Hitz 02: £19.99 (same as above)
ISS 2: £14.99
Crazy Taxi: £17.99
Universal Studio's: £15.99 (laughable)
Super Smash Brothers: Melee: £19.99 (interesting)
007 Agent Under Fire: £19.99
Cel Damage: £9.99
Burnout: £19.99
18 Wheeler: £19.99
Spy Hunter: £14.99
Dark Summit: £19.99
Dave Mirra 2: £17.99
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3: £19.99
Virtual Striker 3: £19.99
Turok Evolution: £19.99
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury: £19.99 (Highly Recommend)
Capcom VS SNK 2 EO: £19.99
Luigi's Mansion: £24.99
Spiderman: £19.99
Doshin The Giant: £24.99
Super Monkey Ball: £24.99
WWE Wrestlemania X8: £19.99

See the post below yours to find the answer.

Kee-rist! I just spent £29.99 on Die Hard: Vendetta, only to find now that I could have gotten it for £7.00 less! Where are those prices from, Dringo?

I just got Eternal Darkness for £17.99 new from Gamestation! Has the world gone mad?

Well actually no... but it doesn't matter... I'm trying to win it although I'm not doing a great job at it.

I'm tempted by Tony Hawks 4 and NIghtfire. But i've still got tons of games to complete and I can't stop playing Tiger Woods 2003.

I want Sega Soccer Slam. Which unluckily seems to be the only one without a price drop :-(

£20 for Eternal Darnkess... I've gotta get that!

I've been looking for a new single-player game after having completed Mario SunShine, StarFox Adventures, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time within the last few months, and I think this would be the best choice to go for next as I'm looking for more of an adventure game, rather than a first-person shooter or anything.

Nightfire's at a good price too... I may consider getting that now (just because it's cheap!). But I've heard it's not all that good...?
But if it's better than Agent Under Fire, it'll do!

After picking up Eternal Darkness for a snip, I snapped up the following bargains in my local Argos yesterday:

Wave Race: Blue Storm - £19.99
Pikmin - £19.99

Run, you fools!
