Nice idea. 
Although you have the RRP for Mario Kart DS as $99.95! I know it's more like $59 or $69 for the genuine RRP, but it can be had for $49 as well (JB Hi Fi)

$49? It was $62 at JBs when I went there. Is it $49 in a catalog or something?

$49 at JB HiFi at Chatswood at lunch time yesterday. That was the price on the shelf. They have a dedicated games catalogue out now but it doesn't have Mario Kart listed on its own, only as the bundle for $193. I'm 100% sure that was the ticketed price though, as I was shocked myself and triple checked!

Nice guide, but the media panel is stretching the coverart so it looks ugly.

Yeah, I tried to prevent that by uploading them first, but i originally put them up at 100x140 or something, and they were a bit too big. For the PS2, Xbox et al, the problem has been fixed.

Would it be possible to just write a tag that displayed coverart underneath the name without appearing as media- or just giving them an attribute that stops them being displayed in the panel?

Could have uploaded them to the FTP and displayed them using the regular image tag, but meh. It's takes about 2 hours to do all the image retrieval, reshaping, resizing, coding, formatting, and then another couple of hours to write the thing

Hmm.. the millions of gamers out there who've already purchased this game would beg to differ.

X-D is just a new story. Nothing more. Its a total waste of money. Most gamers that have bought it I am sure are feeling regret, including myself

Isn't every Pokemon game just a new story, and occasionally new pokemon?
Besides, you get a free Gamecube with it (or vice versa, which ever way you want to look at it)

Think the $99 Pokemon+Gamecube deal was limited to Toys R Us - the actual RRP is still $199.

X-D may not be quite up to the GBA games standards, but it is way better than Colosseum at the very least, and IMO, way more fun to play.

Whats your problem AussieNintendo? Everything posted on PalGN only seems to come at a negative to you.
Besides Pokemon games are still quite popular with the kids (and some adults alike) and the games are solid.

I've been looking every where to get one of these bundle for $99 after some one told me about it. Apparently the deal is off though 
Any one know where they are still selling them (or similar cheap offers)?
