Well, first off, Square was intrigued by the idea of using the GC/GBA connectivity, so they made a FF game that focused on multiplayer and took advantage of the GBA connectivity. The game can still be played as a single player game, and I hear it's quite good, but it truly shines in...
Gameboy Player won't work since you need a boot disc in the GC to activate it(unless you're talking about having 2 GC's and a GB player). Nevertheless, the game can be played by a single player, so if you really want the game then it should be a decent single player game, but obviously this...
I jumped on this deal back over the summer when FYE was doing it then too. It's a nice deal but it takes FOREVER to get the rebate. Definitely take that into consideration before jumping on this deal since initially you will have to pony up more money. I think the Target deal is better...
Why get 2 racing games? Definitely go with the 2 GC games so you can get the free Zelda disc. Just wait a few months for Project Gotham 2 to go down in price or if you have a PS2 wait for GT4 to come out instead.

Here is the official statement from Nintendo regarding the price drop:
New Hardware Price Spearheads Aggressive Holiday Campaign
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2003--Just in time for
the biggest video game thrills of the fall, Nintendo of America Inc.
today announced a new MSRP...
Gamecube is now selling for $99 at amazon and Toys R US. There's no reason anyone shouldn't own this great console. Definitely pick one up if you haven't done so already :)
Not sure if anyone knows this yet, but Nintendo is offering a bonus demo disc of upcoming GC games if you preorder Mario Kart Double Dash. I'm not sure when the disc will be available, but it's some more incentive to preorder a great game.
This bundle deal is also on Walmart.com. My only concern with it is that it looks like it comes with the OLD XBOX controller, which was crap. The S one is much MUCH better.
Mechassault isn't anything special, but Splinter Cell definitely makes this bundle worthwhile.
I bought it and I enjoyed it, but I agree that it was way overhyped. The game was made out to be something revolutionary when in actuality it was just a FPS game done really well on a console.
I personally liked Metroid Prime much better than Halo.
I would wait a couple more months on the XBOX. They should be dropping in price soon with the holidays approaching. I would look for them to drop the price to $150 and maybe even bundle a game with it.
Circuit City has a great deal on Soul Caliber 2. Costs $50 but you get a free T shirt and a $10 gift card.
Also, no deals on F-Zero that I've seen, but just pick it up anyway as this game is nothing short of amazing.
Actually, I think the odds of the GC dropping price in the near future is very high. While I agree that I think the current bundle deal is a steal as the GC is definitely my favorite of the 3 next gen systems. Unfortunately, most of the gaming public doesn't seem to be adopting GC the way they...
Does everyone know about the bonus disc that comes with Rogue Squadron 3 if you preoder it? If not, check out the link:

So, what are you waiting for? Preorder it already as it's always cool to get something for free :)
I actually heard it wasn't that good cause the controls were pretty nasty and it was very hard. But still, if you have nothing else to play on your XBOX $7.50 is a small price to pay for some more game time.
I picked up the Gameboy Player the other day. I highly recommend it as it's so much fun being able to play all these great games on your TV. So nice to be able to see some of the backgrounds in some of the games.
Boating from island to island isn't any different than riding to the different dungeons on your horse(Epona) in Ocarina of Time. When you first play Zelda Ocarina of Time, you have to run to the different places, but you eventually get your horse and it makes things go lots quicker. In Wind...
I also checked the status of my rebate and it says it's processing and that I should get it within the next 30 days. It also says that it was for a PS2 even though I bought an XBOX. Maybe that's why others are having trouble as there may be some confusion that the rebate is for both the XBOX...
If you want something to look forward to, how about the Gameboy Player that's coming out in a couple of weeks. That will be sweet as you'll have access to tons of great GBA games that you'll be able to play.
Yeah, I heard this about a month ago.....not sure when the new prices go into effect. The monthly fee is definitely a good idea for resubscribers, and the resubscription annual fee is decent, but the newcomers fee($70) is a bit steep and I think M$ will have a hard time signing up new customers...
Gamestop told me that they'll give you 20% more store credit than cash. I went with the store credit since they had the game I wanted there and it was the same price everywhere else, so I figured I'd get it for a little cheaper. If you're planning on selling them Halo, just keep in mind that...
Well, I went to the local Gamestop and spoke with the manager there. He said that PDO was still an active title on their computers. However, it was marked down to $29.99, so I decided to pick it up as I had some store credit there. Got the game for like $24.
While that's certainly a possibility, I kinda doubt that PDO will be part of a bundle as M$ loses money on each console they sell. With the price of the XBOX down $20 right now and chances are it will go down another $30 in the fall, I doubt M$ will include a game with it anymore as they're...
PDO came out in Jan 2003, which is why I'm a little shocked that it might be stopping production. Maybe it didn't sell well enough to become a Platinum Hit.
Can anyone confirm this? I'm really interested in getting PDO but I wasn't planning on getting it for a little while still. If it is indeed going out of production I might bite the bullet and jump on this now. Thanks!
Hey Joesan,
Rogue Leader for the GC has to be the best Star Wars game made for any console. The graphics are gorgeous, the sound is incredible when heard through a Dolby Pro Logic 2 receiver, and the gameplay is tight. So many times when Star Wars games came out I kept wondering why no...
The most "must have" game the GC has is Metroid Prime. That game is just INCREDIBLE. Other titles I would highly recommend:
Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker
Star Wars Rogue Leader(costs about $20 brand new)
Animal Crossing(be prepared to give up your social life with this game)
Eternal...
Actually, Rogue Sqaudron 3 contains the ENTIRE game of Rogue Squadron 2, but now it is co op, meaning you and a friend can play through all the missions together of Rogue Squdron 2. Obviously RS3 also has it's own sinlge player game which seems to offer much more variety than just flying...
Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I picked up an XBOX this last week(not the Sega bundle though). Took the free game I got with it into Circuit City and got them to give me a $20 store credit, so I of course picked up Halo there and paid the $30 difference. Take into account the $30...
Actually, I think the GBA player will appeal to more people than the free game will. I mean, Nintendo has been running the free game deal for a while now and while sales have certainly increased, they're not surging past the other consoles. However, the GBA Player will appeal to the millions...
I have an HDTV and I have the Hi Def pack.....it works very wll. I'm even using the cables that came with the pack, but you can upgrade the cables if you like. I think they work just fine though. I've only tested it for Halo, but the sound and the picture look great on my TV, so I'm very...
The Kmart by me is closing up. They had a bunch of GC's and Mario Sunshine Bundles on clearance for 25% off. I'm not sure if the rgular GC's come with the free game or not, but even so, it's not a bad deal for the console. Looked like all their games were also 25% off.
