I traveled by a regular Walmart and I decided to try my luck again. To my surprise I went to the Electronics area, and got a Gamecube with no problem, and they had several left. I then price matched several low priced games from a Microcenter ad. I was rung up in about 10 minutes and left for my next destination.
It's weird how one store could be so busy and another have them readily available. I am glad Black Friday is over, but it was kinda fun hunting down the deals.

I decided to sleep in as opposed to the mess that would await me at Walmart trying to get this bundle. Slept in and showed up at Walmart around 9:30am as I had a few other things to pick up which wouldn't be in high demand. Out of curiosity, I went to the electronics. Sold out, no surprise. So, I went about the store to pick up the other items. Stopped in the center aisle near the toy aisles where they place things on sale in the middle and parked my cart. Told my kids to stay there while I asked someone a question. Came back and what did I see sitting on top of a stack of other toys??? Yes, a Gamecube/Zelda bundle. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise, I just parked the cart at a random place. Someone had apparently changed their mind. Made my day! Slept in and got the bundle.

My sister wanted to get a Gamecube for my nieces and she saw that there were two left, so she grabbed one and was pretty happy. It was after the sale ended, and Wal-Mart still gave her the $79.99 deal, too

If you are lucky enough to find one of those bundles on the shelf, I think it will still ring up as $79.44 because the box has a sticker of a different UPC code over the original bar code. Happy hunting.
