You know, a year and a half ago, I saw a new GameCube for $89.99 Canadian.. I have no idea why it was so cheap, but I wasn't about to complain - bought it right away. Nowdays it's $130 here, but bundled (last one I saw was Strikers plus two controllers and memory card).
I always thought it was amazing the way Nintendo could get so much power and yet keep their systems so cheap..
