I was at Best Buy and noticed that there started carrying these 2 different 2-game bundles from Ubisoft. There is a Wii bundle with No More Heroes and Red Steel (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238489&st=red+steel&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1218065495821). By the way, I thought both were very fun, especially NMH which is my favorite Wii game. There is also a PSP bundle with Prince of Persias: Revelations and Rival Swords (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238452&st=prince+of+persia'&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1218065495557). For those that don't know, Revelations was the PSP version of Warrior Within and Rival Swords was the PSP and Wii versions of The Two Thrones.

Pass on the Wii bundle as No More Heroes is $16 shipped at Newegg or $16 at Amazon with FSSS on orders over $25 and Red Steel isn't worth playing at any price.
The PSP bundle's a pretty good deal assuming they were good ports. I know Two Thrones on the Wii was really gimped though, dunno about the PSP. I'm a huge PoP fan though so it may be worth checking out.

Which means you can get free shipping on them vs. Best Buy. Use coupon code SAVER at checkout.

Despite the occasional bug, Red Steel was a solid title IMO.

Red Steel was awesome for what it was, same goes with No more Heroes. I actually saw these at Best Buy 2 days ago but forgot to post. Anyways there is also a Ds double pack: Price is Right/ Rayman Raving Rabbids. (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238602&st=rayman&lp=6&type=product&cp=1&id=1218065493448) Not really great IMO but to each his own.Edit: Woops forgot xbox 360 also had a double pack: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas / Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9238336&st=ubisoft&lp=8&type=product&cp=8&id=1218065494638)
sadly no love for PS3 users.

Disagree, the controls just weren't there. Play a game like Metroid Prime 3 and then try telling me Red Steel was a solid title. Aiming and turning were sluggish and unresponsive. And trying to do either while moving? Not a chance. Then there were the god awful sword fights that turned into little more than a waggle fest. No, bad game.

I actually HATED! Metroid 3. The game just felt like I would walk around, shoot guys, walk some more. At least RS had sword fights which kicked ass, but yes the turning did feel sluggish.

I hated Metroid Prime 3 also. Wasn't a real Metroid game, and it was way too hard. I had probably about equal fun with MP3 and Red Steel when I rented them, and if I had to buy one or the other I'd probably go with Red Steel.
