Can anyone confirm that EBGames is still selling Zelda with the bonus disks? Their webpage says so, but it seems surprising considering the game came out last week.

i didn't take the chance by ordering from ebgames.com
i asked several ebgames store (b&m) and none of them would give me the zelda bonus disc
however, nobody knows whether you will get the bonus disc from online store

there is a chance that b&m stores return all the bonus discs to online stores... you can try ordering from them, i guess...and return to online store if they do not include the bonus disc...

i've already bought mine... now i'm contemplating whether to take the chance with ebgames.com or not ......

Have you guys who are looking for the bonus disk looked at wal-mart or compusa? Whenever I go into wal-mart theres always a couple in the case (at the bottom of it, in a stack of other games).

How much are they at walmart?

 

[IshmaelLeaver]

I finally got one of my two copies of Soccer Slam from Samgoody.com... took forever. The other one was cancelled, I must have got their last copy.

They still applied the coupon, so it was only $12.99 shipped! Not bad.

 

[skinsfan687]

Bestbuy has Madden 2003 for 19.99, and you can use the 5 dollar off coupon to get it for 15.

I ordered my copy of Zelda a couple of days after it came out from EBgames and got the bonus disk. Great game, especially because of the graphics!

 

[godwheel]

store.ea.com has a coupon for $15.00 off your purchase. You can get games like Tigerwoods ($19.95 - $15.00). Shipping is $5.95 for 3-5 day ground. Still you shave off $15

I guess we are not supposed to post the coupon here though

Look around the net for it hehe...

 

[Runciter]

Has anyone that picked up the bonus disc @Walmart as a presell actually get Windwaker for $50-presell price? I mentioned that to a Walmart person and they had no idea what I was talking about. As I didn't have my presell receipt on me I didn't push it further.

I got my bonus disks. BTW.

Looks like EBGames dropped Star Fox - Dinosaur Planet to 29.99. Wired Lounge was OOS at last check.

 

[stndn]

not sure if this is nationwide deal, but i'll post anyway...

walmart has black gamecube with extra controller packaged in one box
the box has extra add-on to make the box larger, yellow color with red writing "free nintendo controller" (or something like that)
it also qualifies for the free game that nintendo is offering...

extra 20$ savings is not that bad ....
now we need savings on games ><;;

btw, this was found in walmart in milpitas, ca
it's hidden behind the regular cubes, but still visible if you look from the side
(i was looking for free OoT with WW, and didn't find any ... oh well .... )

edit: whoa.. post 1111 at 11.11 pm ...
(well, my time zone, at least )

Speaking of Walmart, I just saw a Zelda hardware bundle there. Standard deal: $149.44, includes The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker _AND_ the Zelda bonus disc. =) It looks like they just got a shipment, the game case was overflowing with stuff (no unbundled bonus discs though...).

Nope. It was a normal looking box with a Zelda bundle sticker on it, like the Super Mario Sunshine bundles. The sticker did look a lot like that box art though.

Anything Pre-owned at Gamestop and Software Etc. is buy 2 get 1 free
titles for all systems and any accessories included.
I called a couple of store around the twin cities metro area to confirm.

I generally think their pre-owned prices are a touch high, especially on newer games, but pick up 3 of the newest games that usually sell for $44.99 now they are $29.99.
Or pick-up 3 Gamecube controlers for 13 bucks a piece.
Not a bad deal on pre-owned at all.

the box you posted a link to was for the Europe release

NFL 2K3 for $9.99 at Toys 'R Us.com; I'm not sure if the price is reflected in-store as well.

About that $15 off order at the EA Store, has anyone else tried it? I can't seem to get it to work.

I used it last week to order the Medal of Honor: Spearhead PC expansion ($19.99 regular price). Everything worked like a charm and the game shipped yesterday. It's possible that it expired at the end of last month, nobody ever mentioned an expiration date.

Since I was curious, I just tried it with Knockout Kings 2003 (also $19.99) and it accepted it. I didn't create an account, just logged in as a new user. I also put in my credit card info before putting in the coupon code and hitting continue (the first continue accepts the coupon, the second accepts the card). I also typed the code in in all caps. Dunno if either of those things makes any difference.

Now to decide f I'm going to hit submit order button. =) $10.94 for Knockout Kings 2003 wouldn't be so bad...

What's a good price for the controller extension cable and where to get it?

The lowest I've seen was $5.99 at Target. Wavebird is a good option too.

No, go to your local Gamestop; they have them for $4.99. Target's cables are rebadged Madcatz cables, but the packages sold at Gamestop have original Madcatz packaging.

I have a Wavebird, but I find myself using the extension cable more lately to play Wind Waker. I like the vibrating feature; it will be useful when I play Def Jam later.

 

[CDogg007]

NBA Courside 2002 up to $14.77 at Costco.com now.....guess some of you jumped on that so they wanted to make more on it :-D

RE: controller extensions

I picked up a couple Pelican brand ones at WalMart for $2 each a while back. Just keep vigilance over the clearance/junk rack. What's funny is that sometimes they have them both on clearance for $2 and on the regular shelf for like $6 or $7-ish.

It is in-store as well. As well as the other major Sega sports games. I think this was noted earlier? Not sure.

And holy crap Tingle is fruity.
