Title: What's this? A new GameCube deal in Australia?
Post by: Infernal Monkey on February 13, 2003, 05:32:37 PM
Odd. After visiting a number of shops this morning, I noticed a kind of glitch in the Matrix. I was seeing the same deal blasted all over the place.

K-Mart, Target and EB World are all featuring the same offer at this point in time, a GameCube for $299 (roughly $150 US) with the choice of either SFA, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, NBA Courtside (ooh, get excited!), Luigi's Mansion or Resident Evil.
The thing is, it's not an official poster claiming these deals, but rather small little printed flyer's near the GC section.

An un-official GameCube deal through-out numerous shops, tell your friends, people of Australia! =)

Oh yes, and Nintendo Australia have announced the free-game deal (RE 0, MP and so on) that will be going on in the US, is going to happen here. Will they advertise it? Pfft.

Last weekend, my friend went to Harvey Norman and got the Mario Sunshine bundle for $199. He took Mario Sunshine to EB, and they let him trade it for his game of choice. I don't think anything will ever beat that deal.

It was only Harvey Norman Brisbane City as far as I know. I dunno whether there's still stock either, he got one of the last Mario Sunshine bundles, and there weren't many Cubes left either (which were selling for $179).

It's an official deal, like the one the US got. Buy a GCN, and get a free game.

PALGN reported this a few days ago.

Will this help GameCube sales?

Yeah, i just hope Nintendo Australia actually advertises this deal, so they can stand a chance against X-Box and PS2!!
