GameCube will be $150.00
The Japanese promos for GC are filtering out and on them GC is listed as launching July 21, 2001 in Japan at 17,800 yen which converted is about $153.00 US dollars. This proves GC will not be $200.00 as some have said and it also proves there will be no delay. Go here to take a look at one of the posters:

Because it would sink Nintendos profits like a brick...

And what would you download them to?

(Memory cards. The big one.)

Yeah, but not N64 ones... perhaps old NES/SNES ones.

(Not going to happen though.)

Yeah... but nice idea. Not for N64 games mind.

Why don't ninty invent a free 64/snes and nes system where you down load games of the internet for free.

The advantages for Nintendo is:

More people will buy the modem.

More people will be on the internet on the Gamecube.

You'll need to buy special Gamecube disc which Nintendo will only sell.

It'll promote the Gamecube.

PS people would buy it for the good old 64 games they would liked to of played befor.

Nintendo fans would love it.

They could you know... and it didn't have to be just one disc.

The RARE anthology... I'll be thinking about that for a while... :D

That would be pure class. Major shortages though!!!
