If you're still on the fence about GameCube, you just ran out of excuses ... Update: Too slow, they're gone!

FAO Schwarz is going out of business, and they're clearing out stock, and they have Indigo GameCubes for $66.98.

It's unknown how long this amazing deal will last, but I'd highly suggest that if you don't have a GameCube, or are looking to replace a broken one, you're not going to get a much better deal than this.
