Getting a used GC wouldn't be worth it because you don't get the free game. The best deal would be the Mario Bundle with a free Metroid Prime.

Mario bundle? The only deal I have seen is a free metroid prime OR a different game. Or is that what you are talking about? Still, I VERY good point! I never thought about that.
Infernal Monkey:
The Mario bundle is an offer Nintendo bought out late last year during the release of Mario Sunshine. You got a purple GameCube (only purple ;_; ) with Mario Sunshine and a memory card 59 for a bit more than a standard GameCube.
It would seem if you can still find a Mario bundle, you can also get the free Metroid, Re0 and so on.
GoldShadow:
No, you don't. I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that you don't. That'd be dumb on Nintendo's part. Basically, they lowered the price on the Mario bundle to $159.99 so that you're pretty much getting Super Mario Sunshine *as* your free game (along with a guide and memory card), and that's why SMS isn't on the list along with the other free games with a GC.
David G:
SMS bundle is a seperate promotion. The free game is the newest promo. IMO its a better deal, you get to pick your game and for a few bucks more you can buy a memory card.
Mingesium:
some stores allow the free game promotion with the Mario bundle. Just ask if it works.
