In all the shops I know of that are near where I live and that sell the Game Cube from Friday (Electronincs Boutique, GAME, Big W, Dixons and Virgin) are all selling it at £130.
However, buy a "special deal" from Virgin Megastores and you might in for a little shock...
We all know that Game Cube gamesc cost between £35-40. That means buying two games will be no more than £80 (easy sum which is good 'cos I ain't too hot at maths..!)
Anyways, Virgin's "saver" bundle deal for 1 Cube and a controller plus two games will set you back £230. You've guessed it! The sneaky ejits are selling the stuff for an extra £20!
Because of Ninty's price change, Virgin think it's acceptable to charge extra to poor punters who don't know they're getting ripped off!!!
Thankyou all for reading my little rant! :-)
