I got it today. The seller says there's a full version of Bad Fur Day in it but I can't cofirm it since all my N64s are stored away. There is however a letter in the box addressed to "EB store managers" pushing pre-sale orders of CBFD and promoting trips to E3 for top-sellers.

What I'm wondering is.. if the game hadn't even come out yet.. and this was a promotional package sent out to EB stores before that.. how could the cart be the full game? There aren't any markings on the cart saying "demo only" though.

That looks exactly like my cartridge, so it likely is. Even if it didn't have a full version of Bad Fur Day in it...for $20 that's a steal. That kit looks awesome. I don't know what the hell it is, but it's awesome. What's on the VHS tape?

What exactly is the pill bottle looking piece in the upper corner?

Very cool find either way.

Speaking as an EB manager, I'm willing to wager it is complete. They don't directly send us kiosk/demo stuff.
They did a similar promo/contest this year with us for Nintendogs. Got a sweet kit with a full version (loose cart) of Lab version. We were to train a dog and complete with the other managers in a contest. The winner got a trip to the Nintendo center and $1000 shopping spree. I came in second. There was no second prize :(

...my dog rocked....

D*mn; that's cool! What's on the VHS, and WTF is that pill container thing?

Thanks for all your help & info folks. The "pill bottle" is just that, a pill bottle (complete with child-proof cap). Right now it has jelly beans in it (I don't know if that's what originally came in it; as I can smell them, and I would assume 4 year old jellybeans to be dried out and such.). I'm looking for some kind of candy that matches the red/white scheme of the pills illustrated on the box better; to substitute.

As for the VHS tape.. I haven't viewed it yet.. but I'm assuming it'll be gameplay footage. The amount of tape on the spool is next to nothing.. so whatever it is.. it's short.

The box itself is very cool. Lots of writing and jokes all over it. There's even a bigger piece that slides over the top end of the box that looks like a cap (giving the outer box the appearance of a giant pill bottle as well); not pictured.

Hmmm.. I need a Conker plush now.

Our Babbages, at the time, got in the pill container (the manager and I ate all the jelly beans), a cartridge of the game the Nintendo rep actually asked us to put in the kiosk. We laughed and my reaction was, "You've got to be kidding.."

And we got 20 t-shirts (I still have the two I swiped - they came in large only) we were supposed to give away to pre-orders that say "Shhhh, Conker is taking a nap!" and it's got a picture of Conker with his head in a toilet. And the games, and Rare's logo on the bottom center. If I can find one lying around, I'll post a picture of it.
