Is the memory card 251 a 3rd party card? Or is it a Nintendo?

What does the blister pack retail for?

Thanks.

Same price as the regular game. I didn't get a look at the memory card since it was beind the glass case (and I already have SM:SS & MP). From the front, you could only see the game.

Trust me, you want it.

Picked up the star wars disk for a penny at the BB by my house today. They had them for awhile, but I didn't know they were only a penny, so I skipped over them. Then I was in last week (once I found out the cost), and they were out. In again today, they had a whole lot of them.

Sell one to me...I have metroid and mario, but only a gray memory card (thus why buying the Mario/Metroid Target deal above doesn't work for me)

Is it just me or is EBGames.com doesn't charge tax? I took their 15% off Pre-order GC Games deal (same as the 15% off @ Gamestop, but Gamestop charge high shipping rate and tax) and pre-ordered VJoe, MK: Double Dash, & Final Fantasy:CC.

Sales tax in Nevada and Pennsylvania.

I knew waiting would help. I didn't order when they had the 10% off preorder, now it's 15% off. Much sweeter. Time to order Harvest Moon and FF:CC.

I went to both of the Targets in my area and niether had this deal. No memory card with mario, no memory card with metroid. Is this deal new or old? Is the package marked differently? Is it a different shape than the regular mario package?

This deal is fairly new. I guess it's YMMV since my local Target only has Mario Sunshine and Prime (2 of each left as of 2 days ago when I went to check the MS keyboard prices) with this deal while others have told me that Star Fox and Animal Crossing are also available with the free memory card (I've yet to see it).

The packaging is a simple red blister pack.

Can you get those EBGames.com prices in the B&M stores?

 

[Spikey217]

I doubt it. I've emailed EB about it and it's YMMV. They told me the prices online may not reflect the prices in individual stores. My local EB always has their prices too high. Dave Mirra BMX 2 is 9.99 online but $19.99 B&M.

I think the deal for the extra 251 memory card was for those four (?) games in a clear plastic package promoted exclusively at Target a while back. They simply lowered the price since those specific games had price drops anyway. Each store may only have a few left as they've had them in stock for a long time.

im gonna go pick up super monkey ball 2 at eb for 20$ + 2$ value shipping when i get home.. great deal!

It looks like various Targets are clearing out some of their older GC games. I just picked up Need 4 Speed II Hot Pursuit for $6.84!

This game is a blast! Especially the cop/speeder mode where one player has to catch the other in a speed trap. Excellent!

From what I heard from IGN, it's BAD. EVen though the Gamecube is superior to the PS2, the XBOX is the only console that got a perfect port. Instead, the Gamecube got a quick 2-month ground up recreation of the game and the rushed schedule shows.


Gamecube sales have quadrupled at the new $99 price (Sounds like an awful lot of people were SURE the price was gonna drop). Boy the leading thread really needs an update

BTW, I saw Metroid Prime @ Walmart for 19.88 so I guess Blockbuster is no longer cheapest

I scored a Metroid with free 251 memory card at Target in Union, NJ. Looked like the last one. $30 for the blister pack. Definitely YMMV.

Authentic Nintendo 251 memory card included free... $20 retail value.

Better than the $19.99 for Metroid Prime alone at Walmart...

not really since you can get 251s at best buy for $15 with the gamers coupon. metroid for 20 bucks is a steal, heck both games for these prices are a steal.

The world should own this game.
