Donkey Konga 29.99 preorder with controller!
I just saw this over at CAG and have already preordered it. It does indeed have both the game and the controller, not just the controller. If you add the coupon 10off25 you get 10% off which is essentially free shipping. Enjoy! I know I will!

there were a couple of kids playing at a local toys-r-us... i volunteered to buy one for them just so they would stop! the sales lady said she wished that she could but it was a demo model. they must've played non-stop for an hour while i was browsing thru the cheap stuff.
what does that mean? it must be pretty addictive to play but really annoying to other shoppers.

I'll book mark it though... don't have the money to preorder it right now.

You spent an hour there? Wow... I was feeling a little shameful about my 45 minute loitering session. After about the 6th or 7th time of being asked if I was looking for a specific game or not, I decided I'd been there too long, grabbed my game and left...

lol, i was looking for some Stikfas and other toys as well... but couldn't find anything. i could hear the drumming from the other side of the store (or maybe it was just the mental echoes).
i didn't have much luck though... picked up Lord of the Rings Two Towers and Kya. really wanted to get panzer dragoon orta.
anyway, i think you can get this deal at samgoody's as well (are they the same company?)

Yes they are the same company. And this isn't a bad deal at all. Don't even own a Gamecube yet but might just have to get in on this deal. Are we thinking this is a misprice?
And don't forget about the "free CD and/or DVD opener with every purchase" whatever the heck that is.

I remember when Sam Goody's had Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for $19.99. I never got that game, and I may not get this one either, but I guess I may as well give it a try. I was going to buy it any, so maybe getting it for $20 under MSRP would be good.

Yeah, I couldn't believe the price either. I think it is a misprice as supposedly just the controller will sell for 29.99 but this seems to be the game also. I guess only time will tell.
As for the game itself, I played it over at TRU and my god was it fun. I didn't want to spoil it for myself, so I only played 1 song, but it was very fun =o)

Great deal! Reading the forum at CAG, someone posted this:
In response to your email, after researching this issue, we have found that the item does indeed come with the controller. Sorry for the mass confusion!! I personally verified this info with Nintendo directly, so rest assured, it does come with one of the drum controllers.
Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you.
Sincerely,

Good enough for me! I went ahead and preordered.

Can't beat that @$29.26 - not even with a bongo drum.
I also played this in Toys R Us. While it was moderately fun, I wasn't really sure what I was doing. Standing up is NOT the way to play this game. So I ordered one. If I hate it, I can most assuredly get my $30 back on eBay!

Anyone know how much the controllers will retail for without the game. If I wanted to play this game with my wife I am assuming I would need another controller. Are they listed anywhere for individual sale?
