You may want to hold off the purchase for now...

Nintendo made it clear on Thursday that if there are to be price cuts, it will not be the one to initiate the move.


"It is not in our plans. We have historically not led price cuts," George Harrison, a senior vice president with Nintendo of America, told Reuters. "There is always pressure built up before E3 .... We will have to see as we get there."

I was just going to get a Gamecube...hmm...when is E3 again?

edit: The Expo is May 14-16th. I could wait a month to play Zelda

Please note that the prices here were a lot higher than in the US.

Just now it dropped to 199 Euros for an XBox, while the Euro is still worth more than a Dollar. So basically it's still more expensive here than in the US.

I believe, according to other threads around here, WalMart is selling a Zelda bundle right now. It's packaged like the Mario bundle, only with Zelda inside. Not sure if you can add Metroid or one of the other free games on top.
