Angry Target wrecks good boxart!

As said in the Metroid Prime thread, I got my copy at a local Target. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the Target junk that was on the cover wasn't a part of the shrink wrap normally found on games when you buy them but it's actually printed on to the boxart! I guess the $50 savings is a special Target-Nintendo promotion. I just hope all future Gamecube games from Target aren't like this.

Oh well.

Inside, was a coupon booklet with the following:

• $5 off Zelda for Gamecube
• $5 off Kirby:Nightmare in Dreamland for GBA
• $5 off any strategy guide
• $5 off Wavebird Wireless Controller
• $5 off Nintendo Gamecube GBA Cable
• $5 off Metroid Fusion
• $10 off Gameboy Advance System
• $5 off Zelda: Link to the Past for GBA
• $5 off R.E. 0

I should scan these coupons so you guys can use them at your Targets. Some of the employee's would be dumb enough to accept printer versions. You just tell em you got them out of their Sunday newspaper ad.

I know, I got it from there. It was the only store I could find MP at. I just couldnt bare any longer to see it somewhere and not take it.

Its too bad, but it takes away the true glory a little to see the coupon ad directly printed on the cover. Nonetheless, Im going to use the coupons, as long as they dont ruin the cover of all the games featured....

Really? When I got mine, it said "Game of E3 2002" or something to that effect. It didn't really piss me off, but I don't even know if others have it... and if target down there is doing that coupon thing... well....

the regular copies of MP have the same little ad thing on the cover, only it says "Game of E3 2002-IGN" so its still covering up the same space as the target one anyway

Only canada has the IGN quote. K-mart is also doing a "Free wavebird" print on the actual cover.
