Imminent Nintendo UK Price Cuts Reported

UK trade news paper MCV is reporting that Nintendo of Europe is planning to cut the cost of the Game Boy Advance SP in the UK from £89.99 ($162) to £69.99 ($126), in the run-up to Christmas. The company has apparently decided not to drop the price of the GameCube to match recent cuts from Sony and Nintendo, but will instead introduce a new bundle featuring the console and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for £79.99 ($144). Nintendo of Europe has refused to confirm the rumors outright, but head of UK PR Shelly Pearce did not deny the retailer and insider-sourced reports, indicating: "We have a number of initiatives planned this Christmas and we will be announcing them in the coming weeks."
