Yeah, but this is second hand, so they won't be getting it with a gamecube will they, unless they buy it separately.
The cheek of it!

Yup - on principle I'd rather sell my games to people or keep them - as GAME seem to make far too much out of it...

plus I've bought new games that have definitely been owned prior to me buying it - imagine my surprise when I put a gameboy advance game in for the first time and found a save game on it.. was not impressed [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

So, generally buy from HMV now.

And their prioce scheme sucks big time.
Why buy from the shop when you can buy from the website where everything is generally £5-£15 cheaper.
Example being preorders.
If you preorder a game online they tend to be £29.99 (for £39.99 games + about £1.50 P&P), where if you reserve it in the shop and go on the day of release to pick it you you'll have to pay full wack (£39.99) - I did this stupidly with Resident eVil 0, all becuaseI wanted tot rade a game in for money off it - and the price of the trade in wasn't even up to the £10 difference!
Still, Zelda's only 4 days away

Hello

I have this feeling that if you bring back a game within 10 days and get a refund, it probably just goes straight back on the shelf. Which is why you probably get saved games on "new" cartridges...

Steve.

You can take it back just cos the game is boring
And yes the games must get put back on the shelf
