NHL 2003 (EA Sports) is $29.99 according to the Circuit City website. NHL 2K3 for the Gamecube does not show when I do a search.

Spongebob for the GameCube - $34.99 in the new CC add.

Maybe... price match at Best Buy and use a $5 off game coupon.... down to 29.99.

Just wanted to point out that even if Dragon.ca lists their products as $44.xx US, you might actually get charged more. I've only made one purchase with them and the final price charged to my card (after conversion from CDN dollars) was a couple dollars higher than the US$ price listed on the web site. I didn't complain because it was still lower than elsewhere, but it's still something to take into careful consideration. I bet all those $44.xx games will come out to $49.xx when all is said and done with.

perhaps its due to currency exchange rate?

Yes, it is. However, they've got subscriber list specials (like GoGamer.com) which typically lower either the purchase and/or shipping a little. The weak US dollar certainly makes their prices less hot than previously, though. When all is said and done, you're probably just saving on sales tax.

I've ordered (PC games) from them in the past and have no complaints about their service, though.

I ordered a Palm IIIC from them as it was priced $0.00

They caught it and cancelled the order. Only thing I get from them is tons of spam :p

Because it's from Dragon.CA...

The memory cards at Target that are $5.88 are Mad Catz brand. I've had MadCatz stuff and really like their stuff, I have no problem with buying a memory card from them. It's a 59 block (4MB) one.

A question about AUTiger's Bloodrayne post. I also have a coupon book with a $10 instant off of Bloodrayne (given out with GBA purchase). The $20 Voucher coupon says not valid with other promos....has anyone ever used an instant coupon and succesfully received a mail in promotion also?

If this would work, Bloodrayne would be $29.99-$10=19.99+tax and a 20 EB voucher.

Went to Best Buy today, and asked the manager if he would PM the Fry's 149 GC Deal.
The manager said sure and PM'd but allowed me to choose the game not to exceed 49.99

I got metroid prime, wavebird and ngc for 149.

My scanner sucks bad going to try to scan it (had to do it on that yellow carbon paper) if not I'll take it to kinko's tomorrow and post scan of my receipt.

You'll notice mario party 4 on there also, figured since they were doing this at such a good deal buying a game wouldn't hurt.

Again i just used my web cam and it couldn't do the whole thing, I'll scan in full receipt if anyone wants at Kinko's maybe you can get the same luck.

I didn't push my luck for the free memory card however.

Heh, sorry, I thought that was already implied in my message. =P

What I meant to say was, the exchange rate they use for the US$ prices they list on the web site is .58 US$ to 1 CDN$, which is EXTREMELY optimistic, so what you end up getting charged will probably always be higher. Just wanted to point it out. =)

The new Gameboy Advance does look nice, but I doubt I will get one.

I going to look into buying the add-on that lets you play Gameboy games from the Gamecube. If you haven't seen it, it attaches to the base of the Gamecube and has a slot on the front for the Gameboy cartridges. Cost is going to be $40-$50. When that time comes, then I may have to add Gameboy games to the Big List.

the new gba looks nice but if i decide to get one ill just get the gba. the thing is small and incredibly compact but it doesnt look like it will be easy to use, especially if you have bigger hands.

Just got back from Best Buy -- WWE Wrestlemania X8 is now $29.99 (at least it rings up at that price even though the shelf price still says $39.99). Double-checked BestBuy.com and they've already changed it there too!

MicroCenter B&M circular got mailed home today too... they have Wavebirds for $27.99 each.

Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to update the rosters for NBA 2K3 on the Gamecube, and if so, how? :) Thanks.
