So far the best i've found is on the game.uk.com website.
It's a gamecube, DK, the bongos and billy hatcher and the giant egg game.
All for £89.99

Does anyone know of any better packages than this?

Billy Hatcher, in my eyes, didn't get crap... just hard.

And I got around 20 games in the November-December some still remain... many were traded in. So when I started to struggle slightly (and only slightly) I decided to pack it in. I sorta did the same with VJ, there were so many games to play the idea of doing a frustrating level didn't appeal. Although unlike BH I did go back to it.

Regardless it is a matter of opinion. And platform fans tend to enjoy even the worse platform games. I rather enjoyed Ty the Tasmanian tiger as well. But I thought Billy Hatcher was very clever and fun.

I saw one on eBay earlier (about an hour ago, maybe) for about £20, I think. You'd have to see how the auction panned out, but it's worth a look... I'm not sure if it included the console, mind.

EDIT: Just found it, £34 including console at the moment...

Well I've topped up 30 hours so far on Pokémon Green - so for my £25 I don't think I've done too bad :P

And I won Luigi's Mansion as a GAD way back before it was released. I would've paid full price for it at the time. Wasn't disappointed with it at all. Would've done the alternate mansion if it wasn't just a mirror image.

I pay for the enjoyment I get out of a game, not for the length. I can play a great game over and over again. Whereas a long crap game will get an hour out of me, tops.

I'd rather play 4 hours of a great game rather than 6 hours of a crap one.

But meh, each to their own I suppose.

That massive toy-store-chain seems to have a very good deal on with this game where, for a competitive price, you also get yourself a "Donkey Konga Bag" to carry it all around in...!

No but as it is £10 it doesn't matter.

Which is less than I paid for the 4 hour Luigi's Mansion

I may have played it for longer...

I completed the first 3 levels completley so actually it may have been nearer 10.

I'll go find out next time I stick it in.
