My compUSA put out a sunday add for a Gamecube with Metroid prime for $99.99. In order to recieve the deal, you must buy Metroid Prime and not any of the other 3 titles. I already have the system, I just thought you might want a heads up on a good deal.

I thought the ad ws basically just marketing smoke.

As you said, you got a GC for $99.99 IF you bought Metroid, for $49.99. (Total $150 purchase)

Many other ads I've seen show a GC for $149.99, and with purchase you may choose one of 4 games free, including Metroid. (Total $150 purchase)

So aside from the lack of choice in the game you receive, it seems like the same-old same-old to me.

Exactly.

They've advertised a WORSE deal than you can get everywhere else. In fact, at most other chains, you get the Cube, one of the four free Nintendo games AND another (cheap - $29.99 or $19.99) game or extra controller, some other extra.
