Buy MP Hunters, get Rumble Pak fo' free
If you haven't already grabbed it free with Metroid Prime Pinball, the love affair between the Metroid DS titles and the DS Rumble Pak continues with Nintendo's latest offer: if you buy Samus' latest adventure, Metroid Prime Hunters, you get the $10 Rumble Pak for free. That means no money! Of course this is "available at select retailers for a limited time and while supplies last."

Nintendo is shaking things up this summer by offering a free Nintendo DS Rumble Pak™ with the purchase of Metroid® Prime Hunters for Nintendo DS™. The accessory fits into the Game Boy® Advance cartridge slot and delivers good vibrations to immerse players even further in the smack-talking, morph-balling, Wi-Fi multi-playing Metroid action that Nintendo DS owners are raving about.
Since its March 20 launch, Metroid Prime Hunters has impressed players with its beautiful graphics and deeply engaging game play. Six new bounty hunters, Wi-Fi multi-player action, voice chat and intergalactic rumblings in the palms of players’ hands make this a bold and distinct chapter in the epic franchise.
Free Rumble Paks with Metroid Prime Hunters purchase are now available at select retailers for a limited time and while supplies last.
