The hell

Fuck nintendo
---

I did the math earlier today as well

yea

I can't defend that

I guess they inflated it a bit due to the rarity

thats pretty scummy, I'll admit

but theres a store down the road from us that charges 300 bucks for NES Classics and 450 for Switches

so it could be worse I guess >_>

Hey man, I worked for PlayNTrade and we made Gamestop look like Saints. I ain't judging. Just calling it how I see it haha.

GameStop likes gouging customers on bundles.

i blame geolocking for this

no i am not interested in visiting your canadian site, gamestop
---

wait, thats a different bundle than what I looked at
---

I will hold PUN personally responsible for the 4 cents I plan to not lose by not buying this
---

i would personally send 4 pennies to anyone outraged by this deceitful bundle, but unfortunately we no longer use pennies in canada
---

You'll be given a rebate option in which you will receive 4 Punny Pennies in the mail

You fiends!

I'm kinda tempted by that bundle if only for it being a neon controller bundle

since stripey made this topic i am willing to make a ONE TIME OFFER of a canadian nickel. you have your choice of the regular beaver variety nickel or a nickel celebrating the 50th anniversary of v day. nickel will be sent out upon proof of switch purchase

i expect a full review of this nickel in the form of a let's pay topic, wherein you detail what you purchased with this nickel. failing that, i expect you to send that nickel onto someone else. pay the kindness forward

At current exchange rates that's only ~3.7 US cents...!

nobody asked for your two cents

So it's still overpriced. But only by like $15

Any updated thoughts with my previous post?

The regular price for the Sandisk is $59.99. Using an Amazon discounted price isn't fair.

It's not overpriced.

But it's always discounted. Like 90 percent of the time

I think if you're genuinely interested in all the items in the bundle and need to get in on the Switch right now without going through the hassle of getting a system that's essentially sold out everywhere, it's not worth quibbling over a 4% difference of your total purchase. if you're interested in Zelda but can delay your purchase until a later date, don't get this. but only you can decide what's your trigger.

Do you think they will make a Super Mario Odyssey bundle?

On Amazon, but it's $59 at places like Best Buy, and then if you're going to fret on Amazon having the memory card for cheaper, you're going to have to count on waiting for the system itself to be in stock outside of the bundle.

Obviously, if there's no rush and somebody doesn't mind waiting, then it could be worth it to them to get it piece by piece to save the $14 on Amazon. But it's a little dishonest to imply Gamestop is jacking up the price and ripping people off.

I'll agree with you on that one. I was under the impression that Amazon price was the main price and not their own discounted price. Good points

I doubt it! But I bet you can get a Switch easily when Odyssey comes out
---

if anybody pays $59.99 for a 128GB microSD card they're silly af you should be paying half that on sale and $20 less than that off of sale, max.
---

I'll just wait till Odyssey comes out. It's the first not a port game I'm looking forward to.

It made the news

You're not giving up on this one, are you

The only thing that's a "ripoff" is Sandisk charging that much for the sd card to begin with

Meh, don't really care much anymore. When I saw the article though I figured I would post while the topic is still around.
