Dixons (of all places) had all Gamecube games for 25 quid at the weekend. PC World were doing something similar.

If you can ring/get down to your local store, you might be able to get it quite cheap!

The Dixons group are going to stop selling the GameCube due to poor sales.

Considering the titles are 40 retail; I'm not surprised.

Is it any coincidence that the Cube is the only one of the top 3 consoles out that hasn't been cracked ?

I've heard mixed reports on this on the web, but Nintendo says they have a healthy relationship with the Dixons Group, and Dixons won't comment on it.
Personally I think it's becuase the GC is the only main streme console without DVD support, so they can't bundle it in with amp's and tv's and the like. Xbox and PS2 adertising uses the "Also plays DVD's" slogon to good effect, especially in shops that market media items.
Also the lack of quality titles doesn't help, hardly warrents a shelf or two ar PC World.
That's not to say the GC is dying, it's still making a helfy profit and as long as it's doing that Nintendo will still market it.
