On the 18th April 2002 Microsoft announced their price cut and the console would go down £100 from £299 to £199 which would take effect from the following friday April 26th. Do you remember the posts from all of the ninties in this forum, if not here are some examples, " its only becuase it is not selling well ", " its like Bill Gates admitting defeat ", this was only a few comments but as you know there was a lot more than this.
Last night I recieved an e-mail confirming that the GameCube is coming down in price! LOL! YE THATS RIGHT PEOPLE IT IS COMING DOWN IN PRICE! Could this be Nintendo admitting defeat, are they failing! LOL, take it Nintendo fan boys, TAKE IT!
Not only this but... Microsoft with the X-Box corner at E3 have been given the award for most exciting games coming out this year! LOL, face it and don't come out with a load of rubbish about Nintendo and Mario becuase you bore me beyond taking a breath. Nintendo can not challenge Microsoft and nore can Sony. Sony have a better chance but the GC is an N64.2 and is destined for failure just as the N64 did.
The release callendar on X-Box is better and has been slated as the most promising console at E3 this year. With all the games on show the X-Box corner took center stage! Even the early releases have been slated as the best games ever and that is only after a couple of months here in the UK. It has already taken games into the next century with Halo, RalliSport Challenge, DOA3 and PGR and trust me there is loads more to come!
Before you start I do have an N64 with 3 games, well I did till I sold it last month for £30 with 3 games, steering wheel, memory card and rumble pack! LOL, poor guy that bought it thats all I can say. X-Box is number 1 and "this town ain't big enough for the 3 of em" so Nintendo need to book a train out of town before we all book it for them! As "THE ROCK" himself would say " KNOW YOUR ROLE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH " and this applies to all Nintendo fanboys, " IF YOU SMELL............. WHAT GARBE123 IS... COOKING!

Well if thats what your waiting for then you have plenty of time to wait for a price drop cause last I head about that, this country won't be seeing that title till at least spring of 2003.
Fair, I'll keep my eye out.
I'm not desperate for one, but I'd like to play the new Mario Kart, multiplayer style, when back at uni in the autumn.

YH - Very reliable ! Officials from both Microsoft and Sony sniggered and said its going to happen. Not only that, but 2 websites can back it up.

Joking. Not sure mate, only heard it myself from this topic so far. Only thing I can say is to keep an eye on sites to see if theres any news on it. No doubt SR will be pretty quick to put something up on it if it is indeed true.
