    According to My Mate Who Works In Xtra-Vision(tm), the GameCube & Metroid bundle is going to be on sale for under 99 of your earth euros soon. They've apparently received a tonne of leaflets and in-store promotion-a-jigs to advertise this fact.

    Xtra-Vision must be giving up on the cube then. Are you sure it's not 199euro?

    I'm guessing its €199 too..... €99 doesn't make sense.

    tis €159 with metroid in xtravision.
    xbox was reduced (i use this lightly) to €199, but they neglect to tell you in most advertisments that you get no game with the new lower price, whereas with the higher price tag you got a game(or 2?) for the additional €60

    i think they charge around 230 for a cube on it's own at the mo & they prolly charge 70ish for the game.
    i seriously doubt they're going to cut 200 yoyo off the price, 199 sounds more likely.
    (i'll be first in line if they do tho:) )

    i posted that before i saw your post...

    are they going to stop stocking cubes after they've sold out?
    it seems to be going the way of the dreamcast outside of japan:(
    i'm seriously considering picking one up for that price........
