Here's a list of price changes for this Thursday October 7th. The good news is that just like I reported a few days ago all Nintendo Players Choice titles will be $20. The new titles added to Players Choice are:

GC Zelda: Wind Waker $19.95
GC Kirby Air Ride $19.95

The games dropping to $19.95 that are already players choice are:
Mario Sunshine
Animal Crossing
Mario Golf

The only weird thing is that Super Smash Brothers is not showing up due for a price drop. Could it be selling well enough that Nintendo is going to keep it at $30 or maybe TRU forgot to add it to the list. I believe there is going to be a press release about the price change on Tuesday from Nintendo, so other stores may have these prices sooner, but TRU does their price changes for R-zone Thursday so these won't be available until then.

Anyway, here's the rest of the long list of price changes this week.

XB NFL Street $19.95
XB Shrek 2 $29.95
XB Bond: Agent Under Fire $14.95
XB SSX Tricky $14.95
XB 007: Everything or Nothing$19.95
GBA Pirates of the Caribbean $19.95
XB Harry Potter: Azkaban $29.95
XB Project Gotham 2 $19.95
XB Rallisport 2 $19.95
GC NFL Street $19.95
GC Shrek 2 $29.95
GC NBA Street $14.95
GC 007: Everything or Nothing$19.95
GC Harvest Moon $29.95
GC Harry Potter: Azkaban $29.95
XB Full Spectrum Warrior $39.95
XB Sudeki $29.95
PS2 Intellivision $14.95
PS2 NFL Street $19.95
PS2 Shrek 2 $29.95
PS2 Everquest Online Adventur$9.95
PS2 Ty the Tasmanian Tiger $14.95
PS2 Harry Potter: Azkaban $29.95
PS2007: Everything or Nothing$19.95
PS2 True Crime $19.95
PS2 NBA Street $14.95
PS2 Freekstyle $14.95
PS2 Bond: Agent Under Fire $14.95

Oh and in case anyone actually wants Big Mother Truckers for PS2, hurry up and buy it because as of Thursday the price is going up from $14.95 to $19.95.

You have any new news on the retailer specific colored GBA SPs? I really want that white one and I missed out on importing the FFTA bundle.

Cheers.

Hopefully Best Buy will follow suit with the drops for PGR2 and Rallisport 2. $14.99 after GGC will be very nice...

Spidey, I posted in the Gamecube discussions thread about this deal a few days ago. I had a list of all the retailer exclusive GBA SPs in there, too. Circuit City is supposed to be getting a Pearl White one for the holidays, I'm betting it will be the same exact one as the FF Tactics one in Japan, but I only have names of the systems and haven't actually seen pictures. Here's a recap:
EB/Gamestop Tattoo Edition
Wal-mart Who are you Edition(in stores now)
Circuit City Pearl White
TRU Orange/Green(aka Shrek GBA SP is what it was being called)
Target Surf Blue

10-02-2004, 09:29 PM
Yeah, I read the thread. I was just wondering if you had a date or something. I'll just have to keep a look out at CC. I hope it doesn't sell like hotcakes. :)

I wonder if the AC will keep the 59 block memory card in it

I wouldn't see why not. The current copies have it and those will be $20, so if you're worried I'd pick up one of those before they are gone. I wouldn't expect them to stop packaging the memory card since you have to have it and 59 memory cards aren't even being sold any more and can't be that much to pack in.

O SNAPS :shock: FINALLY!
I don't think i'll have enough money for this many games (w/ B2G1)... :cry:
Animal Crossing, Wind Waker, Pikmin, and Ratchet and Clank 1 & 2, Katamari Damacy. And i might get Jak II, but I didn't like Jak too much...

Oh yeah, I saw the 10/10 TRU ad. I'm not gonna post the deals because they aren't that great anyway, but the Buy 2 get 1 free is not in that weeks ad. The only deals for video games were a few bundle deals on systems, a few dollars off on certain titles, and 2 for $30 on GBA videos. By the end of the week future ads should be available, so its getting close to when we'll find out if the Buy2get1 deal is really happening.

Animal Crossing, Zelda Wind Waker, and Super Mario Sunshine will be the games I get. Hopefully the B2GET1FREE does happen.

I haven't played that game but I had a feeling that it was bad from the "5 out of 5" quote from a magazine on the cover of the game. That magazine would be Maxim that their quoting... They game Kabuki Warriors 5 out of 5.

in answer to the question about Super Smash Brothers, in this past months sales figures (August) it was still the number 4 selling game nation wide

in answer to the question about Super Smash Brothers, in this past months sales figures (August) it was still the number 4 selling game nation wideI traded mine in to GameRush for $17 (after extra $5) with no instrunctions, so this makes me very happy. I wish I knew when Mario Kat DD will get a price drop. I might just trade mine in for $30 (after extra $5) at GameRush it it will get a price drop down to $20 soon. :)

I think it was mentioned as part of the PC line now.

If they have the B2G1, I will totally get Wind Waker, Smash Bros., and Animal Crossing. I need to start filling out the good games in my Gamecube collection. Metroid, Eternal Darkness, and the Zelda disks aren't enough anymore.

Magician
10-03-2004, 11:25 AM
Thanks a lot tubtub! Gives me time to plan out my funds. If the B2G1 sale does happen, I'll definitely plan on getting Wind Waker. Do you know whether you can mix-and-match games from different systems?

Wario World is supposed to be part of this too. Sorry I missed that one. But Smash Brothers still isn't showing up as part of it.

Strider Turbulence
10-03-2004, 02:47 PM
Wario World should actually be $10 at TRU since it's a green tagged item.

Nice I will add 007: Everything or Nothing to my list of B2G1. Was hoping to add SSBM too. Sudeki sure dropped fast.

10-03-2004, 03:39 PM
Thanks tubtub again for the notice. I know what I'm doing with the B2G1 with Zelda, Mario, and AC. I can't believe Sudeki is already dropping to $30. IF it's already $30 at TRu than in short time it should happen at BB also. Any word though when Mario Kart DD will be PC?

That's what I'm waiting on, since right now, BB only gets my video games business with the $20 game and either the GGC or the XBL coupons.

Did so last week, and BB is selling through that and James Bond: EoN for the GC and XBox.

Who here owns a Gamecube and has yet to purchase Super Smash Bros. Melee? I just don't know how you could wait on that one.

SteveMcQ
10-04-2004, 02:24 PM
I don't have it. I just never really enjoyed that game. As much as a "collector" I think I'm becoming though, I might just go out and pick up a copy now.

ChessPieceFace
10-04-2004, 03:22 PM
I HAD Smash Bros., but never liked it (neither did any of my friends), so I no longer own it.

Selfishly, I'm a little bummed about this... I was planning to get Animal Crossing, Wario Ware (GC) and Super Mario Advance 4: Mario 3 (GBA) in the TRU sale. This just means instead of saving $30, I save $20, and Animal Crossing is more likely to be sold out.

But on the whole, it's certainly a good thing.

I do. I have the original super smash bros. and I played it to death. I've played melee before and while good, it's not 30$ good, esp with the amount of games I need to get. I'm waiting at least until it's 20 before I pick it up...
As for this, maybe I'll pick up harry potter. :P
