Starting on September 23, Electronics Boutique will be having a special. If you buy a new Gamecube, a 251 memory card, and any game over $29.99, you will receive a $50 gift voucher. That makes the net cost on the system $99!!

Well, or it makes the net cost of the system $149 and you get a free game and memory card. Not trying to crap, it's a good deal, but it's more like a bundle than a $99 Gamecube.

No links yet. not sure if this will be at ebgames.com or just in B&M. I should have more details today, as the actual materials for the sale are coming into the store today. I'll post more details tonight when I find out.

Yeah, talk about a misleading title. "$99 gamecube" makes it sound like you pay $99, you get a gamecube. But that's not what this deal is.

Plus, this isn't even $50 back, it's $50 toward a future purchase.

Hot deal!

"$99 gamecube" makes it sound like you pay $99, you get a gamecube. But that's not what this deal is.

So you mean to say that you plan to buy a gamecube but not any games. And you are not going to rent/borrow games either so you dont need a memory card?

Give the guy a break. He thought this was a hot deal and titled his thread so people would check it out!

It is a great deal, because the memory cards are the same price everywhere. A $29 game is not hard to find either.

Flugal you work at EB?

can you confirm something I read online... the UO.com site claims that they have a special promotion on Ultima Online from Sept 20-Sept30, and UO is half price (so $10 instead of $20). but i can't find that info on EBGames.com and my local store is both dumb and out of stock.

can you confirm this??

Next month, on Oct 14, Nintendo will have the official "Mario Bundle" (Indigo GC, 59 memory card & SMS) for $189 MSRP. I'm waiting for that deal since it's more likely to be discounted at some stores.

Both of my local B&M stores in Tallahassee, FL deny this deal. Is there something I am missing, or were the clerks simply clueless? I've been waiting for a Gamecube deal, and this one looks to be pretty good. TIA

EB has some promotions where they might not even advertise....eg...look at the DVD trade in deals.

the should have gotten the rebate forms on friday. Tell them to look at their directives from last week. I think it was Wednesdays. The program should be outlined in there.

Essentially you're getting a brand-new game for free (plus tax). It's not like you WOULDN'T buy a second game anyway...

Wow, I have a PS2 but there are some cool games for the GC, so I have been looking for reasons to buy one. This is the last one I need.

It's for real. I just bought a black GC today with 251 mem card and Super Happy Rainbow Sunshine(or whatever).

It's a mail-in rebate though. I wonder how soon I'll get the $50 back. :(
