"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

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

Edgy, where do you work? GAME?

Hey, those prices look very familiar to me (could be because I was putting stickers on the cases with those prices on today in my place of work :))

However, I can't buy any as we're low on stock, so staff have to buy elsewhere (sounds very stupid don't it!)

sounds cool and at such a knock down price I think imight treat myself to it tomoz. cheers for the advise. I always like a poster keen on giving advise rather than trying to win GAD.

Graphically alright... gameplay is great... the storyline is traditional RPG stuff.

i didn't expect much and I am very pleased with it.

These are great prices. Yes, we all love Special Reserve and most of us buy all our games from them. This sould not stop you from telling us where you can get these games from. These prices are really good and I see you have put small notes by some games. For instince, is it just the price that make Lost Kingdoms a must have or is it just a good quality game. I know why you have laughable by Universal Studies and thats because it's such a poor game but apart from that going back to my original question, which is, where can you buy theses games. Please tell me, I'm sure Special Reserve won't mind.

its an rpg isnt it? I really do like Rpgs. apparently it dosnt last long though and the graphics and storyline are a bit cheesy. I dunno, you seem to be quite an honest kinda guy. Im going to stevenage tomorrow maybe ill take your word for it.

Ok, Lost Kingdoms, whats it about? Dringo on MSN?

I seriously recommend you get Lost Kingdoms.
