The next Wal-Mart ad will be effective Monday, September 29th and will be viewable online on that date as well.

Anyway, it's just semantics. I'm looking to get an Xbox... any opinions? Should I wait and get it as is for 149 (maybe), get it now at Walmart with two games for 179, or get that Cosco bundle now with an extra controller, dvd player, and the sega games for 219?
I don't see any harm in waiting a week or two to see what happens.

I was doing some researching and found out that at many Wal-Mart stores the $99.XX price for the GameCube is already in the system. You might want to stop by your local Wal-Mart and take a look. You'll have to get the Cube scanned for the real price, don't just go by any signage that might be up telling you the price as sometimes that isn't changed when it should be.

BTW : I was at Target the other day and saw several copies of Metroid Prime in bulky plastic packaging with a banner saying "Free with purchase of Gamecube" on it. I can't imagine that these won't still be available and free after the price drop as well. Look for them, they're on the bottom shelves of the game cabnets between the GBAs and the GCs.

Seems to be very true.

Well, now I hope the Zelda thing is true. That would definitely tempt me into picking a Cube up.

I'm really hoping, but really doubting, that i'll find a gameboy player bundle at 99$

I'm not sure if I missed it, but is it just the cube for $99 or do you get a free game too?

The Platinum Gamecube is a Gamecube just like the others so I'm guessing that it is most likely $99 as well. If you can find one that is. I haven't seen one in awhile, but it looks sweet when you have it all hooked up. It was a limited edition deal or something like that, they might still have them at EB or Gamestop (Walmart and Target?) so I'd get your tail down there ASAP after confirming they dropped the price because people are catching on to this price drop and jumping on it.

Hmm, these articles are referring to the same news, but the tone seems drastically different for some reason.
