Hot - NGC Wavebird controller $28 Walmart boxing day

[YSF]

That's great to hear!! Sounds like I made a good choice.

I bought one on Boxing Day at Walmart, having never owned a game system previously. My thinking was it plays many of the same games as xbox and ps and was a great value at $72. I also have 2 young kids and there are many unique titles for children.

A BestBuy associate later told me a game title would play exactly the same on NGC as on an xbox etc. He made it sound like NGC is underrated as both the xbox and NGC both have a newer chipset and therefore both good quality graphics.

Man I love My Gamecube I actually Bought 4!!! one for each room !! I love this thing THank you nintendo for making such an amasing machine!! I just love all the games U definatly need to get a CUBE its the cheapest and coolest looking system yet! I even mod the cubes I love em so much!

I recommend picking up Metroid Prime 2, it is $20 at Wal-Mart on boxing day.

I'm trying so hard to get this deal, they were all sold out fast!!! I couldn't get wavebird either.

I picked up a gamecube tonight for $72, and also a wavebird for $28, i saw that there is still a couple wavebirds left at the White Oaks Walmart in London, Ontario. I am going to go back tommorow to pick up metroid prime 2.

then i went over to EB games and bought a 3rd party mem card for $25, and viewtiful joe 2 for $15

overall, i am liking the system so far

Is there more than one version of the wavebird? There was one left today at my local Walmart. The manager scanned and said the UPC was different (the last 3 numbers) and they are not the same as the one in the flyer and wouldn't give me the flyer price. It looks exactly the same to me as the one in the flyer and scanned at the original price of $38.86.

Should I have been able to get the sale price?

I got the last wavebird at my walmart. She also mentioned the SKU thing, but still did a manual override and fixed the price (since technically it's the same product)

Then later I found a rechargeable battery pack for it, in a clearance bin at blockbuster (for like $5)

The Wavebird is available in both a Grey and Platinum colour. Each colour probably has a different UPC. If the flyer doesn't say which colour is on sale, you do have a good arguement of getting it for the sale price.

In the Ottawa W-M, the gray one is $28.xx, but the silver one is still $38.xx. Try to find a gray one and ask them to scan the price.

Was lucky and found one grey wavebird left at Walmart Agincourt mall in Scarborough tonight.

So there may still be a chance some Walmarts still have a few lying around if you go to the right location.
