UK retailer Index has dropped the selling price of the Nintendo GameCube to 39.99 (about $73 USD). Index's website has been cleared of GameCube stock and the price is now only available in stores. Nintendo has commented that it thinks Index will continue to stock and offer GameCube consoles for sale.
"Index is currently running a big promotion on all its products, of which GameCube is one, offering up to fifty percent discount," a Nintendo spokesperson told Cube-Europe. "As far as we are aware, Index will continue to trade with Nintendo at certain times of the year."
