...always contain unofficial peripherals?
Although I don't plan on buying one just yet, I've been looking at Gamecube packages around the net to see what's available, and they all have unofficial 2nd controllers and memory cards etc.
I'm a bit of a stickler for official add-ons, and I really dislike not being able to get a package with extra official bits and pieces. Which means I'd have to buy separately and pay more.
I demand official extras in package deals!

I preferred the Competition Pro controller for the N64, you actually felt like you were holding something that wouldn't break. I also found the turbo buttons rather handy for Mario Party games!

Could be somthin to do with Ninty cutting the price of Official controllers from $34.99 to $24.99
And as if by magic...
I buy a 'cube last Friday, and now SR have packages with all official stuff.
Curses!

I've been looking at GC packages as well and most of the packages I've found DO contain official controllers and memory cards.
Although I have also found that in most deals it is better to buy it all individually.
From a certain site, you can get the GC and pad, Rogue Leader, Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race, another official pad and an official memory card. This costs 274.99 - the cheapest I have seen this bundle anywhere.
However, you can get a GC and one pad for 129 quid. Each game costs 32.99, the memory card costs 12.99 and the other official pad costs 19.99.
Add it all up and it comes to 261 pounds, give or take a few pence. Now is it just me, or are you supposed to save money on bundles?
It's because these people count a game as being 40-45 quid. Knock a few quid off (say you're getting each game for 35) and they say you're saving money. But you're not.
Worse still, the place that sells that bundle actually charges only 36 pounds or so for each game. So you're not saving money!! Goddamm retards! I want a GameCube and I want one now!
If I could be bothered to get a bus I'd go take a look in town. But I can't, so I won't. I'll just see if my mum wants to drive me in when she gets up (no she isn't lazy, she was working last night :-D).

Is that logic 3 controller ok? Because I may just end up having to get one with the Special reserve bundle...hmmmmm.
Indeed, those controllers are rubbish. Most of them with that slow motion button just pauses the game, bring up the menu and goes back to the game really quickly. Just makes it look...pants.
