3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

Yes, I too would rather pay $40-50 for a bonus disc rather than merely $20 for the disc and a subscription to a magazine. I am an avid subscriber to the "buy less stuff with more money" way of life. Helped me get into this cardboard box you see.

Not to say I completely disagree with you, however. I would rather be able to buy the disc by itself, as well; I just think its kind of stupid to want to pay $40-50 for one item as opposed to $20 for the same item plus another.

I don't WANT to pay $40-50, my point was that I want to buy the disc, not the crappy magazine subscription, not a new console, not a game, or whatever other crap. Saying that it'd be worth $40-50 right off the bat is ridiculous of course, as there is no way it'd be worth that amount. Maybe $17.99 or something in that range.

I really have no problem at all with Nintendo trying to promote other poducts and adding a special free bonus with it. But the people who do not want to purchase these extra items are being forced to do so (ok, I know Nintendo isn't literally forcing people to buy it, but you know what I mean). And sure, it may only be a little $20 subscription. But you know what? I don't want any damn Nintendo Power subscription.

It's odd how Microsoft makes almost no profit at all from the Xbox, yet they continue to produce it, adding wave after wave of new features, more online support and additions, and other quality things such as attaining good third party developers to make great games for the system.

It is almost impossible to make a profit with a dedicated online network this gen.

PS2 and Xbox online network users: 1.5 million
PS2 and Xbox combined worldwide install base: 60 million

That's 2.5% of PS2 and Xbox owners going online with their consoles. Strange how a company not gaining profit from something would continue to support it.

And Nintendo, the company making the highest profit intake of the three companies, chooses to carrying on in ways which are more beneficial to them rather than their customers.

Companies want money, I agree. But companies also want to make their customers happy. A happy customer will continue to purchase their products and support them.

Microsoft has the money to just waste on anything and everything they want. They never cared in the first place that XBox was going to be no profit to them.

Sony has enough money alsoto just throw around. They are more electronics then they are gaming.

Nintendo is essentially gaming only, so they can't just throw money as they please. If they had a good hold in another area of a market, they probably would've had a better online this gen. rather then next gen...But considering that Nintendo isn't doing as great as they were a few years ago, they have to think what can profit first, then decide what they could spend money on without worry of having a substantial profit loss.

We Euro gamers got what we asked for. On december 1 () we can get the disc for 4500 stars.
We also get it if we buy AND register 2 out of the 3 games: MKDD, 1080 or Mario Party 5.

Perhaps I'll get it twice... probably was gonna buy MK and 1080 anyway.

Method 6/7/I lost count:

-Pull out your NES
-Pull out your SNES
-Pull out your N64

Put them right next to your GCN and have a "Zelda marathon", provided you have the games.

Well hey- at least I can do that if the discs are all gone...

+Rep because you are right. We can even go back to the example of Nintendo selling Rare. Nintendo is all about the money. Microsoft and Sony believe that increasing the quality of their product at all costs is important and that it will mean success in the long run, Nintendo used to think this way, but now Nintendo cares about marketability first, and quality second. Maybe they don't want to end up like Sega; respected, but dead.
