Cheapest place to buy a cube?

Where is the cheapest place to buy a gamecube, either on or offline, the game website has packs for around £80, is there anything cheaper around?

Argos sometimes have cheap ones, someone on here always seems to say currys but every currys Ive ever been in doesnt even stock them

yeah i read currys somewhere but mine doesnt stock them, argos seems to be the same price as game.

I heard Currys are doing them for £25, but it would seem they're that cheap because they're no longer stocking them.

When I phoned the main Currys phone number the guy told me Nintendo have stopped making them, I don't see how this could be the case with Zelda coming out in a few months, there will be huge demand for the things!

there is one for £29 squid with a game at my local one but I'd rather not help fund peoples drug habits.

seriously though I'm looking forn a brand spanking new one.

And when is the rev. due out?

Not sure if I'm allowed to mention them or not, but computer exchange do 2nd hand cubes for 30 squid.

I never used to have a problem with second hand but after too many bad experiences I'm always sticking to new stuff now when it comes to games.

Are there many GC games that would be good for younger kids, mental age of 6 or 7?
Simple interfaces, just a few button presses etc.
