I just came back from my local TRU--they had a stack of these DVD's that said "free preview DVD" on the display. You can just grab one...

For those who got in on the $50 Voucher deal, I just received my coupon code today. It came via e-mail and it took about one week from the time I put the envelope in the mailbox. Not too bad of a turn-around. Now, what to spend it on......:confused:

Local Sams club has Super Mario Sunshine for $42.95 + tax. Not a bad deal comparing to $49.99 elsewhere. If you can have Bestebuy pricematch to Sams club (YMMV) and use the $5 off 19.99 coupon, you could get it for less than $40 after tax.

I'm trying to decide where I should buy Metroid Prime. $10 coupon digital coupon from Best Buy or $10 coupon from KB Toys (I'll probably do KB Toys since they have more games deals.. hopefully one w/ Zelda)....

Any other Metroid deals out there? :p I don't need any controllers or memory cards....

In the old Gamecube thread, someone mentioned a $20 coupon at EB for the purchase of a Gamecube and Metroid Prime. I haven't been there in a while, though, so I'm not confirming anything.

Just go to the store, and you'll find a sales flyer that has that deal. It seems that a lot of EBgames deals have to be done at the store. If it helps, I found the deal at River Valley Mall in Lancaster, Ohio.

This may not matter to most people, but I noticed that all the new platinum Gamecubes are made in China, as opposed to Japan where all the other Gamecubes are made. I did notice an Indigo Gamecube that was made in China though - it looks like they are moving production to China. I remember people mentioning that Japanese made Dreamcasts were quiter than the Chinese or Malaysian made Dreamcasts. I haven't been able to confirm that myself, and I actually doubt that it might make a difference for Gamecubes, given Nintendo's high standards of QC.

I was in Electronics Boutique last night and saw the following regarding Gamecube:

Pre-purchase Metroid Prime for $29.99 when you purchase a Gamecube System.
Limit One Per Customer. Not to be combined with any other purchase. Offer Valid 11/3/02 - 11/24/02
-------------------------
More you buy, more you save!*
Buy 1 GameCube game and save $5
Buy 2 and save $15
Buy 3 and save $30

* Savings in the form of an EB mail-in gift voucher good towards future purchases. Games must be purchased on same receipt. Offer valid 11/3/02 - 11/24/02.

Even though I don't own a Gamecube anymore, the deals still catch my eye.

So you combined the deal with your platinum gamecube? or are you just telling us that you have a platinum gamecube?
