Gamecube is damn cheap for Australian Launch
*note* please don't flame me if this has been posted b4, coz I haven't been on much.
Offically announced @ nintendo.com.au, GC price is $329.
This is soooo damn cheap. And I guess it was coming due to the Xbox price drop.
So this sure makes it easier on bobcats bank account, and that has to be a good thing.
I guess the most excited people should be the Canadians and Amercians...........

329.00 AUD Australia Dollars= 178.976 USD United States Dollars. So, it's basically like 180 dollars American as you can see.

LOL That's funny...btw they use to use Seashells?? Since when did stop using Boomerangs and Kangroo skins?? 
But anyway according to Germ....that's pretty cheap...I think nintendo is losing some cash on this move...imagine what M$ is losing.

Jin I thought I told you to stop watching those American tourism ads for Australia.
They are purposely there to make fun of the gullible Americans that watch them
We use Australian Dollars here for currency............until a Kangaroo (Called skippy) held up all the major financial institutions and stole most of it...........
Now the Aussie Dollar is low
Either way, it's still a great bargain for a GC.

The same thing is happening here in the UK, X-box cuts the price to £199, so a few weeks later Nintendo has cut the launch price of the gamecube to £129.99... all great news for us here, but the software will still be expensive compared to the US
