Considering you could bring a print-out of the EBGames and Best Buy offers to CC, I would guess they would have to do a price match. If anyone has any success doing this today, let me know...as I would want to do the same later this week.

Speaking of price matches -- Does anyone know whether or not Gamestop actually does do price matches? I remember seeing somewhere that if you ask an employee about it, they have to tell you about it, but they're kinda trying to keep it "hush hush." So do they really price match or what?

It would be nice to know if they are having it later on. I can't wait around for them while the offer expires everywhere else.

My EB didn't have Mario 64 on hand (so they thought) but luckily they found me one at the last second (Mario was the game I really wanted). My EB only had 2 Mario 64s in stock. They were cool, they wanted to let me pick any game of equal value instead. (Which is cool of them because the deal said while supplies last) A very good group of guys work at the EB near me. My mario 64 game came in a regular DS case and wasn't part of any sort of bundle/cheap case.


FYI I picked a blue DS it looks so hot. Its kind of like a Honda Civic Si blue. Its Metallic blue and almost somewhat like a purple. Its a Blurple.

I got it today but no mario. I'm going to another Best Buy and show them my reciept to recieve my free Mario.

Okay, well I called a couple more Gamestops today and a couple things:

1) They do pricematch. I'm headed out right now to go get Mario 64 with my DS from Gamestop.

2) A lot of people are just completely clueless about the deal -- only 2 stores actually knew what the hell I was talking about.

Your right my EB and walmart didn't know about the deal yesterday, till I brought it up to their attention.

Just got back from Gamestop and I got the blue DS and Mario 64 DS... so all went well with the price matching deal. Git' off yer asses and go do it now people. Since Gamestop seems to be completely clueless save for a few select stores, this is how to get it done... or you could wait till Wednesday and try to find some place that actually knows what's happening... I'll be enjoying Castlevania: AoS and Mario DS in a few hours...

if your looking for the blue ds. dont go to the cc, bb, walmart, or target in the city of industry. They don't have it in stock yet. The only store that had it was TRU, but you had to get it in a bundle for 160ish.

The only stores I've been to where I've seen it would be Gamestop and EBGames (obviously) as well as Best Buy... I was just there to pick up the Macross Plus box set and I walked by the games section and sure enough, they had it.

Wal Mart being the ghetto ass store that it is doesn't have it nor does Target (though Target is admittedly far nicer than Wal Mart and you should shop there instead.)

Has anyone tried to pricematch at CC to get 110% of the difference? Would they even price match or just give you the game for free?

Confirmed price match at CC. Picked it up last night. Just take a walmart printout from the web.

got the blue DS at bestbuy and last copy of mario this morning. its not bundled together. they kept on forcing me to get the replacement plan or something like that for my DS. the blue DS is hot. its black and blue. blue top black bottom when closed. doesnt look purple to me. the cobalt for the SP looks more purple-bluish.

I've called every store in town, including Gamestop twice... and they all tell me no dice. Shame. I've ordered it off ebgames.com instead, but it stinks to have to pay sales tax AND shipping, plus be waiting 5-10 days for it to get here. Total $164.38

Was hoping someplace like outpost.com or amazon.com would be listing it. Still a great deal though, convinced me to get a DS to play this fall's lineup. Come on Castlevania, Mario Bros, Lunar: Silver Star Story, Sonic, Animal Crossing, and etc.

And the PSP doesn't deserve the casual bashing it's been taking in this thread.
/playing Wipeout Pure, Ridge Racers, Need for Speed Underground, Hot Shots, and Lumines.

media play also has the bundle.

Damn this is pissing me off. All the best buys i went to have sold out of super mario 64. I'm just left with my blue DS and Wario ware.

I called several gamerushes today. One was nice and looked through his weekly plan or something and checked his DS boxes and saw that there where no MARIO 64 DS included. Is mario 64 DS being inside the box or is it and add on?

Some are and some aren't. A bunch of posts talk about getting the game seperate, including some right before yours.
