Zelda GameCube Bundle Dated

Thanks to the Gaming-Age forum regulars for pointing out that the GameCube hardware bundle, including classic Zelda titles will have a November 18th retail release at a $99 price point, according to the EBGames site. This means the hardware bundle, including bonus disc "containing multiple classic Zelda titles" (specifically The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and a demo of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker) will now arrive in stores on the same day as Mario Kart: Double Dash, another eagerly-awaited Nintendo title.

Re:I feel cheated.

Do you own a computer? Do you feel cheated about that to? Do you feel cheated that your car is worth less now than when you bought it? Do you feel cheated that the food you buy at the store is worth less after you eat it and then excrete it?

Very few physical things manage to retain their worth over time. Certainly nothing technological does with the few and far between exceptions that become collector items.

This gradual price drop has been a constant for every single video game system released so far, and for some reason you expected the GameCube to be immune to this trend?

The only way in which i would consider you to have "lost out" in any sense was if you left your GameCube in it's original packaging and never played it at all. In that case however i would consider you to be an idiot, not to have been cheated. Next time, if you don't consider the value of being able to play the newest games as soon as they come out to be greater than the $200 or $300 price of the newest console, don't buy it.
