    Target liquidating their Gamecube supply at $25 a pop.

    By Stephen Munn | May 30, 2008

    A few weeks ago, I stopped by my favorite place at Target, the electronics clearance section. I snapped this photo with my phone of the pile of new platinum Gamecube consoles. At the time, they’d been marked down to $59.99 and I had intended to point out the deal to you folks. Honestly though, I forgot about it. It wasn’t that remarkable.

    Tonight I stopped by again, and the Cubes are still there, but now they’re down to a mere $25. They had more than a dozen of them there at this price. Now that is a remarkable deal, considering they’re selling complete brand-new platinum cubes for less than Gamestop sells a used standard black or indigo model (note that the platinum models are less common).

    Keep in mind if you’re considering this deal that this model Cube might not have the digital video out port. At some point Nintendo took that out to save about 24¢ per manufactured console or something.

    The Gamecube was my console of choice for last generation, but it was the least popular, which means a lot of people missed out on it. If you never got one, and you’re still not planning to get a Wii (which runs all Gamecube games anyway) you might run out to pick one of these up while they last. I could recommend a lot of great games, and the prices are sliding ever downward on most of them.

    Oh, and see that Metroid Prime Hunters strategy guide? It was $15 at the time and I picked it up tonight for $3.50. Now maybe I can finish that confusing game.
