Its true that Dixons, and all the other stores in the same group (Such as PC World, Curry's etc) have stopped selling the Gamecube because of low demand, either that or they werent selling them as well as they should have been *cough* *cough* 
Plus that was the time when the GC's price was around £129.99
Since then Nintendo had stopped production of the Gamecube because there was such a backlog of consoles that remained unsold in warehouses, its to that end that Ninty took action to shift these gamecubes, by lowering the price to a mere £79.99 (After another drop from £99.99), and now Ninty's warehouses have once again plenty of room, and Nintendo have restarted production of the Gamecube once again.
Thats the story as it happened! And yes, the GameBoy Advance SP costs £89.99 brand new, where as the Gamecube costs £79.99, its actually cheaper to buy a Gamecube with better graphics, sound, games, etc, then to buy a SP just because its portable! Ironic!
