I was looking on the IGN forums and they said somthing about the Zelda GameCube bundle going down to $80.00 on the day after Thanksgiving, only at walmart though.

Buying another GCN Bill?

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #3 on:** November 10, 2003, 10:37:59 AM »

Just buy 2 of the games for the zelda disc or renew Nintendo Power

In Canada at Future shop you can a cube and Metroid Prime for $149.99 ($114.15 US) right now.

It's true, seen a couple of the BF ads on dealrush.com and their forums and that is mentioned.

with deals like this, nintendo HAS to be able to kill xbox this holiday season...

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #8 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:24:34 AM »

Well im sure the 4 zelda game bundle will kill the crappy Xbox holiday pack with star wars clone wars, tetris wars w/ 2 months Live

Dyne · « **Reply #9 on:** November 11, 2003, 12:10:53 PM »

The only way I'd even take Clone Wars is if you payed me. And you delivered it to my door. I'd take the money and throw the disk out the window. Xbox live is so pathetic. My base has a few xbox's hooked up.

I'll stick to my Dark Age of Camelot and StarCraft, as well as PSO on a good old cube (where you ONLY have to pay for the hunters liecence, and it works on dial up).

Talked to a friend at Walmart, they said it may happen since they have big sales on that day usually, but he nor the manager can confirm it because they just don't know. Best bet is to show up early on that day and see for yourself.

NintendoFanGirl · « **Reply #11 on:** November 11, 2003, 02:02:27 PM »

I've already talked to someone who has an ad and yes, the GC will be $79 on Black Friday from opening until noon (I think).

Myxtika1 Azn · « **Reply #12 on:** November 11, 2003, 02:24:23 PM »

But they're opened 24 hours. When is opening? 6am?

thecubedcanuck · « **Reply #13 on:** November 12, 2003, 03:46:12 AM »

I doubt that MS will keep this bundle as is for the holiday season, they surely can see that this just wont cut it.

AERO · « **Reply #14 on:** November 12, 2003, 04:27:49 AM »

Here is a nice, although blunt analogy of how the bundles are going down in the different regions for ms. I would have to agree with ya canuck until I saw it....

The Xbox will not be in 2nd if they dont improve their holiday bundle. The GC has already closed the gap with the price drop, so the 'own the U.S.' analogy is a little overstated, wouldn't you say?

Doerr · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2003, 09:21:41 AM »

well there is another bundle here in CAnada anyways with SW:KOTOR and Mech Assaoult and the free 2 months of xb Live.

AERO · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2003, 11:45:50 AM »

Haha, no, no. In a america they have not closed the gap. They lead in world wide sales, but in NA they are behind xbox by a million. The xbox selling next to nothing in Japan, puts nintendo over top. And ironically xb's drive in japan makes nintendos poor effort a wet dream to them.

ghostVi · « **Reply #18 on:** November 12, 2003, 01:28:40 PM »

That million in NA was a month ago AFAIK, even more...... I'd like to see some more recent numbers, things have changed a lot. Can't say GC has closed the gap, but it surely is approaching.

AERO · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2003, 02:20:26 PM »

I couldn't tell you the norm monthly numbers for gc in NA but I highly doubt they got enough to even be close with the recebt changes. I would be suprised if they got out half that. A million is A-lot of systems.

ThePerm · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2003, 02:20:52 PM »

thats the day i get f-zero in my mall

MANTI5 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 12, 2003, 02:35:42 PM »

So is this bundle Windwaker or the compilation disk with the older Zeldas?

rvd1083 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 13, 2003, 08:40:35 AM »

It's the "Classic" zelda bundle.

ib2kool4u912 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 13, 2003, 09:52:53 AM »

Has the Zelda compilation thing started yet? If i order Nintendo Power right now will i get it? (I dont know if im goin to do the Nintendo Power thing or the game thing i was just wondering if it started.)
