"Dixons drop Gamecube!!!!!!!!!!"

I thought it was a little odd that the price of the Gamecube had slashed to a stupid £99 with free game. It's now been announced that Dixons will no longer stock the Gamecube!! It also looks like Game and PC world (Colchester shops) aren't that interested in Gamecube either if you live in this neck of the woods!!! Please comment on this and if shops around your area are not stocking Gamecube/Games anymore!!!

Indeed, I agree. What I was saying is that Dixons aren't really an asset to Nintendo- I mean, yeah, they do account for some on the sales, but the good majority are from widely-knows retailers or off of the net.

Whooooo, someones clever!!

a) You were right on that one!
b) No one knows? Not even Dixons? I think you'll find that the answer is low sales my friend. That's all it is - simple business. If something doesn't sell, don't stock it...how hard can it be? It's not like they are pulling out of games completely is it, as they are still stocking the faster selling PS2 and XBox?
c) You must care otherwise you wouldn't have read these posts and replied yourself.

I guess once you've bought a cube it doesn't matter if a few small retailers aren't selling games, because you'll just buy elsewhere instead.

But getting you to buy a cube in the first place is more important...

Hey, wonder if their selling off their stock of games dirt cheap then...

I wander over to FOG chat, where I see a post titled "LOL". I read, and it turns out to be a crappy singing tortoise flash. Now, because I read the posts that means I care? Why the hell would I care about a singing tortoise? If I had known previously what it was going to be about, i wouldn't have entered.

See? Entering a topic and reading the posts inside doesn't automatially mean you 'care' about the subject. Monkus.

Dixons don't use the forums and you can only guess at the answer.
And it really doesn't matter to me whether Dixons stock gamecubes or not.
They're not huge game retailers anyway, and all it really means is that now I can get some clearout games on the cheap.

Picked up Eternal Darkness from there the other day for £25!

Obviously, Microchips and this Gerridatric monkus come from the same breed!! To go into a topic and read it means you must care in some way shape or form. Did I say which way, shape or form? No.

Next please...

My friend ~(JBH to be precise)~ picked up three Dreamcast football games for 98p each in Dixons, once they didnt't stock DC games anymore.
I'm hoping for more of the same.

Mild interest and caring are not, and never have been, the same thing.
