Well, more like three and a half, but Metroid Prime is dropping another $10 this April.

DID YOU KNOW? - NINTENDO BOLSTERS PLAYER'S CHOICE LIBRARY

March 16, 2004 -- A golf date with Mario is about to get a lot more affordable, as Nintendo announces a new MSRP for four popular Nintendo GameCube™ games, including Mario Golf™: Toadstool Tour. The games will join more than 35 other titles in Player's Choice library, a selection of Nintendo video games offered at reduced rates. The addition of these four games will continue to drive record sales. In December alone, Nintendo sold more than 1.5 million titles from the Player's Choice collection.

On April 29, the MSRPs for both Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Wario World™ will be reduced from $49.99 to $29.99, while the MSRP for the wild racing game F-Zero® GX will be $19.99. The fourth game, the extremely successful Metroid® Prime, already in the Player's Choice library, will be available at a new MSRP of $19.99.

If I didn't already have these games I seriously go buy them buy them now.

nice, Mario Golf is players choice, even before it's out in Australia, smooth move

MarioMarch 16, 2004

I strongly urge everyone who doesn't own F-Zero GX to go and buy it now. Now. It will be the best $19 you ever spend.

BloodworthDaniel Bloodworth, Staff AlumnusMarch 16, 2004

Actually, it doesn't drop until April 29th, so maybe not now.

MarioMarch 16, 2004

Ahaha, oh yeah. Buy it on April 29th then. Curse my lack of reading things properly. face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Fzero GX was the best $50 plus tax I ever spent face-icon-small-angel.gif

Grr. When are they going to put Wind Waker on the Player's Choice line?
I used that for my free trial to that gamefly.com service (which I never used after).. Made it to the very end, but haven't had the opportunity to fully finish it, since I had to return it - I'm not going to spend $50 on another 30 minutes of gameplay... not even for Zelda, sorry.

Nifty, though now I wish I'd waited on Mario Golf and F-Zero, two games I bought when they launched and still haven't even come close to finishing.

Is this valid for Europe, too? (with exception of Mario Golf, of course)

cubedcinder128March 17, 2004

All of a sudden, my decision to sit on both Wario World and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour is looking very good. face-icon-small-smile.gif

I'll take a hit dealer, what is this card?

it seemed apropriate (i.e. cubecinder's gamble on purchasing... it's all relevent in some convoluted way face-icon-small-tongue.gif)

isn't it a bit strange to announce a price drop this far in advance? nintendo is pretty much cannibalizing sales for the next six weeks. was this news officially announced, or was it leaked?

either way, i'm super stoked about f-zero dropping in price. i've been meaning to pick it up. i doubt i'll be able to get very far in it--i still haven't been able to get the gold cup in all-cup mirror mode in double dash.

I hope F-Zero GX becomes Player's Choice in Australia too! Then I'll buy it! face-icon-small-happy.gif

And I'm not pleased about Mario Golf.

Bill AurionMarch 17, 2004

King, you have to realize that not every gamer is like us, eating up every bit of videogame-related news that hits the net... face-icon-small-wink.gif

DrZoidbergJuan Schwartz, Staff WriterMarch 18, 2004

and the ones that do would probably have the games allready, as is the case with most of us.
