It is, I bought it there for 29.99 around a month and a half ago

I bet not a single person on this whole forum could touch me at Super Mario Kart on the SNES and I bet I could even beat a good 75% of you at MK64. ;-P

BTW, i'm more excited about GCN then I used to be. (Not a recent thing.) Go Metroid, Zelda, and Mario Kart. ::jumps around::

I've waited patiently with my dreamcast. I think I'm taking the gamecube plunge. I just played SMS by a friends house and it ROCKS! He also showed me Rogue Leader freaking awesome as well. A KART game is coming out for it? Man I am so there....

Nintendo is to offer the Gamecube, Memory Card 59, and Super Mario Sunshine for $190 in September, a savings of $25.

Any more info on that? That's the route I'd like to take. And it's September.

Super Mario Sunshine bundle (EBWorld.com)

EBWorld also has a $25 rebate (online gift certificate) if you buy a Gamecube, Super Mario Sunshine, and a Wavebird, but I think the other deal is better.

BJ's (same as Sam's) has these games for $18.99:

18 Wheeler
Extreme Racing
Crazy Taxi
Smashing Drive
Cel Damage
NHL Hitz 2002

Not the best games, but still decent prices.

those games are $18.99 for a reason ;p

actually, crazy taxi for DC is cool, so i might pick up this GCN version

 

[SCarrier11]

lol i think thats too expensive for those games.

 

[budice]

FeathersMcGraw,

Thanks for referring me to that. Got it!

There's a "BEST BUY $5 off any video game software or accessory $19.99 and up coupon" on page 145 of the October issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Expires 12/07/02.

I was going to use it for a memory card, but Best Buy was sold out of the memory card 251. I took this coupon across the street to Circuit City and they accepted it without a problem. The memory card 251 is $19.99 at Circuit City as opposed to $19.95 at Best Buy, so there shouldn't be any problems about price.

Also, not really a hot deal, but Animal Crossing is already available for rent at Blockbuster. It's not supposed to come out for another week. I rented it today and it kind of sucks, but it's there if you want it.

Thanks for the thread AU Tiger.

If you're still interested, bryskyd, I picked up 007: Agent Under Fire used from Blockbuster for $25 yesterday. This is the first used game I've bought from them and I was surprised at what good shape the box and instructions were in. And it included all original packed-in materials like the warranty card and some EA garbage. Only the disk looked used. Best of all, it was a real used price -- 1/2 off -- not like the pathetic $5 off Electronics Boutique gives you on used games.

Damn, I only have 25. =P It's disgusting to kill that big old squid thing lol... and those mini-games... damn, frustrating and tense.

 

[Graphix]

w00t! 48 shines!

 

[chiggaman]

Bestbuy is selling the Wavebird for 29.99. Use the $5 off EGM coupon to bring total cost to 24.99

 

:Q 96 Shines. Can you say I have had way too much time on my hands?

 

[AU Tiger]

Updated to include new prices from KBToys.com

EBgames.com is giving a $10 Gift Voucher by e-mail to those who buy Animal Crossing from them. And just because I really want to see this game to succeed, here are a few incentives hoping to sway the few that are on the fence or just have never heard of this "commuications game."

1) It comes packed with a 59block memory card
2) It features tons of playable NES classics, like Donkey Kong, Excitebike, Balloon Fight, Punchout and more!
3) Connect your GBA (provided that you have the cable) to design your own patterns for your house, and even travel to a secret island for more fun! You can also download your NES games onto your GBA to play!
4) You have to factor in Feng Shui when you place furnitures in your house! (how cool is that?!)
5) Trade items with your family members playing the game or with anyone online through a unique password system.
6) Using the internal clock, the game's environment corresponds with your actual surroundings. Suppose you are playing this game in winter, you would be playing in a snow environment; play it on 2/14, valentine would take place in the game; certain fruits only grows in a certain season, etc. etc.
7) A game that is truly for the whole family: everyone can get into and start trading items with one another and send letters to each other.
8) Positive reviews: 1 2 3
9) Check out the thriving communities: 1 2
