Best buy has the same deal as EB dunno about the colors, though. I'd assume they're the same.

I have seen this same commercial. Being an avid gamer this is a great deal. I paid $200 for the cube alone about 8 months ago. The current going price is a steal.

the deal breaks down like this:

Buy any NEW gamecube( regardless of color)
$150

and get any one of these games free instantly on the spot

Metroid Prime $49.95
Resident Evil 0 $24.95
Star Fox Adventures $39.95
Mario Party 4 $49.95

You gotta love Nintendo for this and Microsoft for inspiring them to do it.

FYI...If you do get a game, Metroid is the bomb and if you beat it 100% you can play the original Metroid for the NES.

I also bought an xbox for $300. Look for xbox to go down in price in next couple of months due to a new deal with nvidia.

It's really no surprise to me that Nintendo is offering this deal. They are losing a lot of ground to Microsoft and Sony. They are just trying to make up for that.

I would prolly pick a cube up, if they offered Zelda for free, but that ain't gonna happen. I probably won't get one. Too bad, b/c I loved all the Zelda games with a passion.

I know this isn't a 100% on topic here but.....

rumor is that if you preorder the new Zelda due out next month you get 2 additional zelda games with it. You would get URA Zelda and Zelda-A link to the Past just for preordering.

URA is just Zelda-Orcarnia of Time but the version that was to be released with the ill fated DD drive for the N64. It was to be basically the same with different dungeons.

Correction... after some digging here is the correct deal for the US. The Japanese got hte above deal.

You get Ocarina of Time to play on the Gamecube with an extra version that mixes everything up, similar to the first Zelda on NES after you beat it the first time. Just mixes up the location of levels, where you get items, some new puzzles, and maybe a few different enemies.
