GameCube price drop: Nintendo preps retailer [update 1]
GameSpot reports that a GameCube price drop could be in the works. According to an EB Games employee, Nintendo has sent posters that include blank, GameCube-branded "New Low Price" stickers to the retailer. The posters are to be used within the next marketing period (May 1–23) in the event of a price change. The employee confirmed that Sony sent similar materials prior to the PS2 price drop last month.
The GameCube currently retails for $99.99. We suspect that by the end of the month that price could fall to $79.99.
[Update: changed "GameStop" to "GameSpot"]
