I enjoyed Pok�mon Blue. It may come off as kid oriented, but the game itself is pretty fun.

My nephew left his Pokemon Gold cart here once. I played it. It's stupid. I dunno, maybe I'm too old for that sh*t.

Another thing I don't like is the ubermarketing. You HAVE to get all of them. You HAVE to buy some special thing to get a secret card and there's only one in every 40 jillion packs.

i have the flame gba sp and the pink gba. i really like the nes gba sp, it looks good. i have been looking around for advance wars but i can't seem to find it anywhere, and i got sniped on ebay. i saw mario nes classic and almost bought it, but is it just me or is $19.99 a bit steep for it?

maybe it will drop in price soon or a cheap ebay auction.

I think i'm going to turn my laptop off now and go invite my girlfriend out somewehre.

kids, you gotta learn that type of **** doesnt replace real women....oh right, it does replace standard gawking at real women, well in that case it is probably good thing.

then again, my girlfriend wants a little dwarf bunny, so i guess that could be considered a pokemon. ok--too many games. back to real life. happily.

My porn doesn't ask me to buy animals for it

Doesn't give me rabies either.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

I still have to play Metroid Zero Mission. I heard it's pretty good, and I haven't disliked a Metroid game yet.

Same here. I played it in the store briefly, but haven't had the time or extra cash to pick it up. Graphics are really nice, and I've heard nothing but good about it.

While I think the new old school GBA is cool, it's really just a repackaged GBA.

Good old Nintendo...

They're courtesy of the manufacturers, not retailers, and inside the boxes. Therefore, included, not bundles.

Yes they are.

Your posts are BUNDLES. They're systems that COST MORE and are limited editions.

For Christ's sake it SAYS "BUNDLE" in the image and the URL!

That ATV Offroad Fury/Network Adaptor/PS2 bundle has been going on for an awful long time.

And it has cost the same as the PS2 sold without them since E3.

The Halo one is indeed limited and costs more than an Xbox without Halo, but since you cannot buy a green Xbox without Halo, not a bundle.

Unless you're gonna argue that previous consoles and portables going back as far as the NES - which was sold both with and without games in the box simultaneously for different prices - were bundles too.

The only company that does bundles right is nintendo. The GC Zelda bundle cost $79 (then again they were SUPER IMPOSSIBLE to get at that price) heheheh.

The regular bundle is $99 and the GC without the bundle is $99. w00t.

I miss the days when you got stuff with consoles.. kinda stupid they don't include something actually, who wants to buy a console with no games?

original gamboy and tetris!

it is like buying a console. "oh look, it's only $99", then you need a memory card, and then a game or two, and then you figure it only comes with one controller. then you walk out the shop $200 spent.
