Nintendo announces GameCube/GameBoy Player bundle!

They're just paying what they feel the system is worth. That doesn't make them cheapskates.

I'll get one when Nintendo pays me 100 bucks to keep it.

And a free Gameboy Advance: SP OR Solid Gold Toilet.

I'm being fair by including options here.

So...they keep coming up with "pack-in" deals, so when are they going to let the other shoe drop? The GC is effectively $99 anyway, so why not sell it alone for that price?

I wouldn't buy a GC for $50. It still has nothing that interests me, even after E3. Okay, PSO3 is a little interesting, but not enough to buy a console for.

That's an amazing deal. For the price of a game you wouldn't by a Gamecube? That seems a little extreme.

I wouldnt get an XBOX if Bill Gates gave me a billion dollars........o wait I would.

Well anyhow I am now debating whether to hold off gettin a cube with the free game(Metroid) now or waitin for the gbplayer bundle. Is the GB player gonna be about the price of a game? I think the GB player is gonna sell like hotcakes....so many people and parents would always ask me if the GBA to GCN link cable would allow them to play GB games on their TV.

This is a nice idea, especially for people like me who just can't hunch over a tiny screen anymore regardless of what game is being played.

Problem? All my gaming money for the next 4 months is going to a new PC. Shoots.

Will this come with the mini-SNES controller? That thing is dope XD!!

Diplomatics:

It's about $50.

Given that the "it's still not cheap enough" people would probably be buying a GBA Player anyway, the GC is effectively at their target price. Don't mind them, they're just trolling.

Not a bad deal... wish they would have thrown in a GBA SP instead tho (but then again those sold like hotcakes).
