New Gamecube promotion coming up
 

From ign
January 17, 2003 - Nintendo confirmed to IGNcube today that beginning February 9 and running through May of this year, consumers who buy a GameCube for $149.99 at participating retailers will get a free game with the system courtesy of the company.
Buyers will be able to choose from four games, including: Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 0, Star Fox Adventures or Mario Party 4.

"It's an exciting program," said Nintendo of America's vice president of marketing and corporate affairs Perrin Kaplan. "It's a great opportunity come February for consumers to get their hands on the games that keep the folks at IGN up at night: Metroid Prime, Mario Party, Star Fox Adventures and Resdident Evil 0."

The more aggressive move by Nintendo could provide an extended boost to holiday sales of GameCube, which were solid, but noticeably behind a larger spike in demand for Microsoft's Xbox console.

More on this story soon.


w3rd. My roommate wanted to get a GameCube, this seems like the perfect time.

Wonder where my last exciting offer of a $25 rebate is? Hummm...

And the Target GC deal starting 1/26 is real too. Buy a GC and game $19.99 and up and receive $50 Gift Card. I confirmed it at my store today.

Looks like Jtnguyen came through after all.. heh.

Isn't that a sign of the apocolypse?

WTF? Why in the world would they give you a $50 giftcard for buying a $20 game? I'll gladly take the gift, but I don't see how they aren't going to lose big on this.

Buy GC + Game = $170

Hey Nintendo, how about some deals for people who already own the GC? I mean, come on! 3 for 2 deal or something, baby!
;)

Oops, I missed the word 'and' between GC and game in khai's post. :o

Sweet deal, wish they were running it back around christmas when I bought my GC, would have liked a copy of RE0

Yup. Closing this thread.
