Nintendo said that it would respond to any price drop by Sony. Sony dropped prices and Nintendo has been rumored to be dropping its price to $149 for quite some time.

Broadband adapter will go for $35, and I also heard that it will be a free service for Nintendo owners. Any word on this?

I stole this link from the Hot Deals forum.

Gotta love price wars

ahh, PS2, X-box, and GC. So many choices, only enough money for one. Looks to me that each system has their fair share of good games. But which system has the cheapest titles? Do X-box or GC have 20 dollars greatest hits?

 

[Blayze]

there are some $30 XBox games.

I have a XBox, but I will probably get a Cube or a PS2 this summer. AHHHH! I can't decide. Probably sell off my old Dreamcast and use the money towards one of these systems.

Zelda and Metroid are two of the main reasons I want a Cube. FFX and GTA3 are the reasons I want a PS2.

Ah......who cares? Gamecube sucks anyways.

 

[joohang]

w00t!

Looks like I'll buy GameCube before PS2 and XBox!

Zelda is out already? w00t w00t

<-- runs to Nintendo.com

Just noticed.

Luigi's Mansion and Sonic look pretty sweet though. Same with Agent Under Fire.

When is metroid coming out? That's when I'm buying.

 

[rgwalt]

I've got a cube, and the hit games in my opinion are

Smash Bros Melee
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Rogue Squadron

Other good titles:
Bond
Gauntlet
Sonic

Those are the ones I've tried so far. Star Fox, Metroid, Zelda, Top Gun, Mario, etc all on the horizon. They all look good. I need to rent Resident Evil and give that a shot.

Don't even bother renting it rgwalt.
If you liked any of the other RE games you will be buying the cube version. Take the $5 you would put towards renting it and just buy the game. RE for the cube is uber-sweet.

Renting costs 30 bucks at my local video store. No way in hell I'm paying that much.

:Q:Q:Q
Holy crap! Even in American dollars that's still like $20!
Do video stores actually make money off of video game rentals? Are tapes and DVD's also that much to rent?
