As the holidays approach, all of the video game companies are trying to sell hardware to the last few million people that don’t already have one by bundling games and other bonuses in with their consoles.

Nintendo’s latest bundle is a regular Gamecube with an included copy of Mario Kart: Double Dash which has sold over 1.6 million copies since its release last year.

The bundle will be available on November 14th, just in time for Christmas. There is also currently a “Metroid Bundle”:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=twotallsocks-20&path=tg%2Fdetail%2F-%2FB0002MPVQO%2Fqid%3D1098761869%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fref%3Dpd_ka_1%3Fv%3Dglance%26s%3Dvideogames%26n%3D507846 available, which is a Gamecube with Metroid Prime included.

Microsoft also announced a new “Xbox bundle”:http://forevergeek.com/games/holiday_xbox_bundle_2_games_xbox_live_14999.php earlier this month.
