An EB Games employee has told Gamespot that the retailer has recieved marketing materials for the Gamecube which suggest Nintendo is considering dropping its price.

The materials, which were sent for use in the company’s next marketing period (May 3 to May 23), include GameCube posters with GameCube-branded stickers that read "New Low Price," according to the employee. A specific price was not listed for the machine, which currently retails for $99.99 new, but it featured a blank number template which employees could fill in should a drop be announced.

Nothing is confirmed as yet although it is worth noting that similar tactics were used in the recent Playstation 2 price drop from $149 to $129.
