heres more on the news from CVG

Quote:
The magical tale of the ever-shrinking GameCube prices moves on apace with the latest champion GameCube outlet, Argos, flogging the purple cube for £78.99.
The best bit about this Argos promotion, is that the GameCube comes with a controller, memory card and a game choice from either Wave Race, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin or Eternal Darkness.

A snip at £78.99, that's £21 less than the current Dixons deal. Even better news is the price matching companies are forced to follow suit, so you should be able to get one from Comet or John Lewis at the same price for a similar deal, if you ask them nicely.

Also, as this Argos promotion runs until April 1 - no joke - if you buy a GameBoy Advance SP (for more than the Cube, bizarrely) you'll be able to get an additional £30 back - so it will work out at £50 for a GameCube, game and memory card - now you can't go wrong there.

At the time of press, the promotion has proved a huge success with Argos Direct, the internet sales side having sold out, and most of the shops running out or very low on stock after a tabloid press advertising blitz at the weekend. "You better be quick" said a store manager in Yorkshire when we cold-called, "I'm not sure if we've got any left."

Keep your eyes peeled for the never-ending cycle of cheapo GameCube promotions. Who knows, maybe they will be giving them away next week... Maybe with a GBA SP?
LoL why don't they just give the god damn thing away and be done with it!
