Hi Peeps,

not sure if this is old, common knowledge or just a waste of time. But i'd been waiting for Resident Evil 4 to come down in price before getting a copy, only to wander into the local Toys R Us to spot the Gamecube + Res4 bundle for Ł49.99 (from Ł89.99).

A nice limited edition GC and joypad (silver and black, very nice), 500 odd 'Star' reward points and the making of bonus disc for only Ł10 more than the game's normal RRP.

Looks like they are clearing stock of gamecube, the same price for the Mario Kart and Donkey Konga bundles too.

bit of a bargain if you ask me.

It's 'Bargain' not 'Bargin'.

Is that all the thanks he gets?

I'm thanking him by helping to improve his spelling.

I knew it looked wrong, but couldn't put my finger on it. Oh well, i'll blame ebay!

Yeah, I've got that Cube (looks lovely!). Paid Ł90 for it though.

See, he spelt it right here, so the first one was just a one-off

Anyway, thanks for that. Was considering getting one (if I can find the space for it).

A console and a game far better than anything on the Xbox360 for the price of just one 360 game!

(anyone who says there are better games on the 360 than RES4 are either extremely dillusional or retarded)

I can't work you out Jon, you've got quite a few 360 games yet you barely played any of the must haves from the last gen!

Maybe because my 'must haves' aren't the same as yours Nick. For me, Ghost Recon 2 was easily one of the best games of the 'last gen' but that's my take on it. I've spent many kajillions (technical term you know) of hours more on that than I have Disgaea for instance.
