If you've been on the fence because you're waiting for the Platinum GameCube and Metroid Prime ... you just ran out of excuses.
While we're not sure if this is an official Nintendo bundle or not, Amazon.com (In conjunction with Toys 'R' Us) is currently selling a Platinum GameCube with TWO Platinum controllers, along with Metroid Prime for $224.99.
This price does NOT reflect any sort of discount on any of the items, so it's likely that this is a Toys 'R' Us bundle and not an official Nintendo package (like the Mario Sunshine bundle). Still, it's a golden opportunity for people who've been holding out for the best looking machine and the leading candidate for Game of the Year to pick up everything they need all at once.
Of course, if the Wave Bird isn't your thing, and you're jonsing for a Platinum Controller, Amazon has them for $24.99 as well.
Please note that these items are NOT in stock yet, and have a shipping time of 3-5 weeks. This is to be expected, since Metroid Prime doesn't ship for another three weeks. We also don't know if this will be an in-store bundle for Toys 'R' Us, or if it's online only. We're looking into it.
