Gameboy Advance Price Drop
From Gamespot.com
Now if i could just find a deal or coupon to get that down another 15-20$ 
Nintendo lowers the price of its popular handheld.
Nintendo has officially announced a worldwide price reduction for the Game Boy Advance, lowering the price of the handheld to $79.95. The company revealed that the price drop is the result of efficiency in the manufacturing process and a reduction in overall production costs. The Game Boy Advance was responsible for 20 percent of all hardware sales in 2001, selling more than 5 million units.

This is great news!
Now only if Sony followed Nintendo's lead. The GBA is a huge seller, and has absolutely no competition; Nintendo could have sold as many GBA units this year as they had last even if they did not lower the price.
Playstation 2 on the other hand has remained at a stable $300, even after the appearance of major competition. I am sure the manufacturing costs of the Playstation 2 have dwindled since last year.
