Finally, word of the official new price in Japan.
According to Nintendo's Japanese site, the GameCube will be dropping in price there soon as well.
On October 17, the GameCube will be selling for 14,000 Yen (about $120 US). The Enjoyment Plus Pack which includes a Game Boy Player and Memory Card 251 will be reduced a little sooner on October 10th for a price of 19,800 Yen (about $170 US).
Now Japanese gamers and importers looking for fancy colors can save a little dough with the rest of us.
The GameCube price cut carries over, with new retail prices in the UK and the rest of Europe.
