It states this on the website:

Free additional controller (567/6154) and memory card (567/1977) when you buy the Mario Smash Soccer Bundle (568/0676) and one of the games shown below. To receive this offer, add all 4 items to trolley. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other Gamecube offer. Offer ends 24th December 2005.

Upon reading it it does seem that one of the games should also come free as well (Sonic, Spiderman Incredibles etc) but I'm wary of the fact that it says not to be used in conjunction with any other GC offer. The £49.99 offer is in their special reduced leaflet and also, the website has the price for £79.99 so perhaps this is only a website only offer as the store one is £49.99?

My daughter works for argos,she's off sick at mo though,she's phoning her work as i type about these,she says it should be buy the bundle & extra game to qualify for the free memory card & controller,but luckly it's going through with just the bundle,the free items that is......she phoned her work & it is definetly going through @ £49.99 & free memory card & controller.....hope this helps...... :santa2:

Just got a £24.99 gamecube from currys. So they are still out there. This was at the newport branch in s.wales, they only had 1 in stock so i snapped it up.

Got mine from Argos Havant today, bought a £50 gift voucher and she gave me the free £5 with it. Then bought the Gamecube package and some batteries, using the £50 voucher I had just bought and got another £5 voucher !! Thanks to the ops

Same here, Mario Football , White Cube, Extra 3rd Party Controller and a memory card £49.99, 20p to charity and a £5 voucher for me.

That is a bargain indeed. I got mine for £24.99 from Curry's but this even beats that!

I notice the memory card included is 3rd party and I have heard that 3rd party Gamecube memory cards have a tendency to corrupt losing all your saved games but I don't know how true this is. But it is certainly believable.

So it may be worth while investing in an official Nintendo memory card. But this is still a heck of a bargain.

Its 3rd party, which was the answer to your now missing question :-)
