Topic: Buy a GameCube, get a free game!

[RickPowers]

For a limited time, you can get one of four titles free with your GameCube purchase.  Plus, new additions to Nintendo's "Player's Choice" line!

Starting on February 9th gamers that buy a GameCube at $149.99 from participating retailers will get one of four titles free.   Buyers can choose from Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 0, Star Fox Adventures or Mario Party 4.  

The program is scheduled to end in May, but if the response is positive, it wouldn't be unheard of for Nintendo to extend the program into the Fall.

The free game is likely in retaliation to the stiff competition Microsoft's Xbox is proving to be, with recent news that Xbox has pulled ahead of Nintendo in worldwide sales.

In addition, you will now be able to get three of Nintendo's major sellers for a low $29.95.  Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin and Super Smash Bros. Melee are all added to Nintendo's list of hit titles to be offered at a discount.
