I love how the games are 1/2 of the system price now.

Rock on, i might actually get one of those, just hope mario kart 128 and super mario 128 come out to make it seem worthwhile.

Why would they be called 128?

'Mario Sunshine' has been out - great game. The new Kart game comes out in November I believe... it looks great.

Mario 128 is what people are calling it, it doesn't have a title yet. Miyamoto says he won't demo it cause its "so revolutionary, people will steal the idea," or something to that effect. Thats what they said back at e3. Sunshine was more of a quick mario 64 update. As for mario kart: double dash, yeah its a november release atm. Overall reaction hasn't been too positive, every preview i've read recently has said that its way too slow...but since everyone is saying it, nintendo would be inconceivably stupid to release it that way. We'll see.

All the recent previews have said they have addressed the speed issue and have also added the drifting technique back into it.

I thought Sunshine sucked.

Did you get a chance to play it all of the way through? I thought it had some really nice level design...

So YOU'RE the one that hated it. We've all been looking for you to smack some sense into yer noggin'

Walmarts prints their ads that far in advance? This is a walmart ad isn't?

 

[MrPabulum]

When the regular price drops to $99, I wonder for what price will EBGames offer a refurbished model?

Yeah, methinks that the work "rollback" in the ad must mean Walmart - unless someone is trying to steal their thunder. And, yes, they make up their flyers this far in advance in order to proof them and get them ready for distribution. In fact, they know what their ads look like at least six weeks in advance.

Though the fact it has RPGs for crap will keep me to my Ps2

These will be coming out for sure... they will not scrap something that is completed... The only thing to worry about is what we will see at E3 next year. Companies might not put 2 years into a game for a system that might not be around.

photoshopped?

They should give for free if you purchase 4 or 5 of their latest games

I think is photoshopped, just look at the movies, one of the movies was released at 16/7. so, the ad was couple months ago. I think the forum admin. should to something.

OK, leave the job of forum moderation to the forum moderators...

Secondly, just because they are advertising movies that HAVE been released does not mean they are not advertising new ones and old ones. Daddy Day Care is there and it is not listed as being released until 10/7. Amazon has it listed as a 9/23 release, so with the lead time of the print ad, this is in the ballpark of reason.

I believe this is a legitimate advertisement and that people should hold off on buying a GCN until early October.

 

[Supa]

I think the deal is without the one free game of your choice, so basically not much of a price cut.

You beat me to it.. I was going to say, look above GC and you'll see Daddy Daycare and 2Fast 2Furious DVD's, none of them have been released yet.

 

[StealthGear]

argh double post, sorry about that.

 

[StealthGear]

If this is true then its HOT! I can't wait for October! I've been meaning to pick one of these up. I already picked up Resident Evil Zero and Metroid Prime for $20 at BB, and now all I need is the system .

 

[royaldank]

Looks real to me. Tiger Woods gets released next week. I can see it being in the ad. There is a new movie there which the ads states doesn't actually come out until the 7th. All seems legit to me. Wonder if you buy now, get the free game, and then price match when this ad comes out?
