Nintendo Gaming / What's this? Demo Disc only with purchase of GCN?
« on: May 23, 2003, 02:04:24 PM »
Figured I'd chime in here on the whole demo disc thing. Whoever said there was confusion between Nintendo and the retailers were right. I work at a Gamestop and had been getting calls for over two weeks regarding this demo disc, but unfortunately I had been given little information about. When the Nintendo rep popped in, I asked her about it and she had told me that it wasn't going to be for sale, it wasn't going to be free to take, but it would probably be packaged with or given away with some other Nintendo product (this was earlier in the week).
Two days and 25 phone calls later (in which I had told people they couldn't buy it), I notice that we're getting in a whopping 6 copies of the demo disc and they would a) be for sale $9.99 or b) come with the purchase of a new Gamecube system. So we got them in today, I picked one up, it's good times. All Gamestops should be selling them for $9.99 - if you don't see it, just ask. If you're told they're not for sale, just push them to check their daily store e-mail, because as of this morning, $9.99 was the story.
But beware the limited quantities. Nintendo likes to ship as low a number of in demand products to retailers as they possibly can.
