I may have to get a gamecube now. Are the newer GCs progressive scan enabled? I heard they took some componenet out to lower manufacturing costs.

Sweet my disc is reserved I got my GF's WarioWare code :)

The metroid cube doesn't have a cool alternate faceplate does it?

Isn't the saying "Don't LOOK a gift horse in the mouth"?

will stores get in trouble for selling these before the 11th if we receive them?

The Best Buy store I work at has 44 on order (don't know if we will get any more), and I imagine we'll get them before our store date of Aug. 15th...

I need 1 more code! Anyone got a code to spare? I already have Mario Party 5, Metroid Zero Mission, Mario Vs Donkey Kong, and Mario & Luigi.

This is one way that Nintendo is stupid, they make promotional stuff and then charge you for it.

WTF are you talking about?

I got the Zelda Bonus Disk and the Metroid Bonus Disk for free and so did thousands of other people.

Are you brain dead or don't get the idea of a buyers reward program?

IF YOU DON'T BUY THE SHIT THAT THEY WANT THEN YOUR NOT GOING TO GET THE STUFF FOR FREE. The same thing happens for airlines and those sub places where you buy 10 subs and get 1 for free and buyer's clubs.

The only people bitching about not getting this stuff from Nintendo are the people who don't buy Nintendo shit and the trolls at IGN and those people don't deserve to be getting stuff for free since its suppose to reward people that are loyal to Nintendo.

And you people are probably the same people who go fucking gaga over those buy 1 get 1 free deals at the supermarket. GUESS WHAT THAT FREE SHIT AIN'T FREE EITHER!

While I don't agree with Dice's reasoning, I do think MyNintendo is not achieving its potential. I easily have more than enough pins, but even I think releasing a demo this way is weak. The demos should be widely available for purchase while the club should be offering more collectibles like a Metroid face plate or something of that nature. A demo doesn't feel terribly rewarding when other developers release them regularily and offer them through a broader form of distribution.

Damn Nintendo. They're telling me to now send the UPC Code from my Wario Ware: MPG to them.

The problem, of course, I'm across the continent and in another country. I don't quite feel like mutilating the back cover, either. Considering the trouble I'd have to put myself through to do this, I can honestly say that I am pissed. I received two fucking "Subscribe to Nintendo Power" bullshit flyers instead, and it's screwing me over.

So, in other words, can someone either pass a code over for me to shove in Nintendo's face, or suggest an alternate course of action not involving the telephone?

Usually a photocopy of the UPC will work. I've used copies for mail-in rebates and encountered no trouble. I think companies understand most people prefer to keep their case covers intact.

As luck would have it, by spanning of three message boards with my "Brother, can you spare a PIN" promotion paid off, and I grabbed myself a Four Sword PIN, thus giving me my fifth game.

By the time it got to Redmond, I'd be past Aguust 20th...now I have to deal with where to send it. I'll be at University by the time it gets here. Just got to figure out what my address will be, I guess.

FF:CC PIN has been claimed, the MK one is still up for grabs.

I own MK... I wonder if I could register another MK pin. If this is the case, I'd love to have it. I only need 1 more pin and I'll be good for the demo disc.

AFAIK, you can only have one copy of the game registered.

Anyway, the PINs are all gone for now, but if I get more soon I'll post a notice here.

The new Brooklyn Target (Flatbush and Atlantic) currently has these bundles in stock. I saw about a dozen of them when I visited it for the first time today.

After raiding Blockbuster and FYE, i managed to snag a couple of codes. i'm still going to write Nintendo and recommend they modify their program with better items, a point system, or at least offer demos at a fee. If you feel burnt by this offer, regardless of whether you got a disc or not, i recommend doing the same.

Oh man, could someone help me? I'm still one PIN short and I can't go to a blockbuster or something like it because I live in Costa Rica.

So far I have Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario & Luigi and Crystal Chronicles.
