that lava lamp FTW!!

also the golden pro classic controller for GoldenEye 007!!

Hmm, those preorder bonuses aren't quite bonuses at all.

For what I can see, they are charging you 80 dollars for the DK game and the bag.
It's 112 dollars for GoldenEye plus the controller.
It's 72 dollars for Epic Mickey plus the Lava Lamp.

You are kind of paying for every item you get, not a bonus at all, and probably overpriced.

Those are normal prices here in Mexico so they are indeed free

Hmm, I don't know, why such a difference between Epic Mickey and DKC Returns? 12 dollars?? Which one is the normal priced game?

I know games are more expensive outside the US, but I thought that Mexico would have to pay less taxes than the rest of the countries considering it's a bordering country. Doesn't mexico have trade deals with the US? I pay like 65 dollars each game here in Argentina and I think we pay more taxes than you for electronics.

I hate my government. I hate those taxes.

Great, I wish we could have some of those gifts here in Costa Rica, I went to my local store (like 30 min away from where I live) the other day and both games are at $80 with no gift at all... I am thinking to buy kirby, DK, sonic & epic mickey but that would be $320... At the end I still need to buy my games in the US, so sad... ;P

The diference is the Nintendo tax, EVERY game published by Nintendo cost more than the others(DS: Nintendo 700, everyone else 600, Wii: Nintendo 1000, everyone else 900) and the prices are with tax included

oh yea I lady then cleans my house paid like $700 bucks for the wii or something close to it.

That sucks 700 pesos for a ds game:/

pinchis gringos ricos!!!

lol jk

I think not. The mexican retailers can change the game's prices as their wishes...    :(
