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)

Luigi's Mansion: £24.99
Spiderman: £19.99
Doshin The Giant: £24.99
Super Monkey Ball: £24.99

And yet not one place can go low for Starfox Adventures! Goddammit!

What do you mean by universal studios laughable? I felt sick when irented it out.
Minority report is also £19.99 and is highly recomended. i think it has to be one of the best games on the GC at the moment. Its great throwing people into glass tanks and bursting into the subway on the jet pack! This satnds along side die hard which is highly recomended.

Really? I thoughy Minority report was naff...

and err... mobo well err... lets see... if it is a station that you can play games in what is it? add a .com.

ALso imagine a land where you can play console and add a .co.uk

The rest were just normal random shops I visited you know the usual game shops and other places such as woolies.
