I got Metroid Prime for $50. Last copy in my local store. A steal!

lets hope my games arive today, i finnish work at lunch time, around hte time the postie gets here, yay new games ahoy!

ah the international planet gamecube forums....

I really wish Nintendo would initiate these price slashes, and not leave it up to the individual retailer.

I mean, once Dick Smith have shifted their stock, that's it, folks. No more GC games for yet another retailer. So let's count this one together...

No Harvey Norman

No Dick Smith

Major reductions at K-Mart

NOAus really need to pull their fingers out.

I wish I lived in Austrailia around now...

No, you don't wish you lived in Australia. Gamecube games are the most expensive console games here. Gamecube games are released MONTHS after the rest of the world, IF AT ALL (Animal Crossing anyone?) and half the stores don't even get enough copies in. For example, Burnout 2 released about a month ago. I went to or called all shops in my city looking for a copy, only to be told that most only had 4 or 5 copies to begin with, and they were not getting any more because it was discontinued. This was mere days after the release. Like Patch said, Nintendo really need to pull their fingers out if they want to sell anything in Australia.

skies of arcadia sold out in about 3 days, and NOPE! we arn't getting another shipment, and the inital shipment was like 1000 copies only (or there abouts)

so no, you dont want to live in australia

Yep, the state of GameCube in Australia is poo. Dick Smith used to be a big supporter of the GC, too. So did K-Mart, and when was the last time they EVER advertised a GC game?

Oh well, whatever. I picked up Luigi's Mansion for $25. Good enough.

this just in! i went over to the dicksmith's near me, and they arn't dropping support! from some clever detective work by me (which included waiting 20 minutes for them to work out if they were indeed having a sale or not, and a further 10 minutes while they got me a price list, which took them 2 goes to perfect) i read on the price list they gave me that they arn't dropping support, just not restocking various titles, mostly stinky launch titles.
