Booo.


Before:

$149 = DS with Mario 64.

Now:

$129 = DS

Mario 64 is worth $30. They remove Mario 64 and drop the price $20. If you didn't want Mario 64, this is a $20 price cut, but if you DID, this is a $10 price hike...

Pretty much if you want any game its a $10 price hike. :eek:

Seems like they pulled an Apple (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=140636). :p

Mario is not half as cool as these newer games coming out. They should keep mario bundled in there just to sell these things...

Funny thing is, there are still some DS systems (the electric blue ones) at my Wal-Mart bundled with the Mario 64 game marked down to $129. I'll be picking one up very, VERY soon. Like today.

Check your local Wal-Mart. You may get lucky.

Must be getting old, 28, a few years ago i would have bought one the day they came out, like i did with the original back in 1989.

Now, well, whatever.

Maybe if they dropped the price in the UK.
