I like shopping at Play-Asia. They’ve got some really interesting deals and I’ve them to thank for a major part of my collection of 50+ Nintendo DS titles. Sometimes though, there are deals that can be filed under the category “Simply Doesn’t Make Sense”.

Case in point, the Donkey Konga Drum Controller for the Nintendo Gamecube. Now, this peripheral is going on sale at a discounted price of USD 29.90, down from the usual USD 39.90 (click here for details). Sounds like a bargain, no? Well hold your horses.

Do a little digging and you’ll find that the Japanese version of Donkey Konga, for the Gamecube is on sale as well, selling for just USD 19.90,  down from its previous price of USD 69.90 (click here for details). And guess what, the game comes bundled with the same Donkey Konga Drum Controller!

So even if you are only looking for the controller, which one would you go for?
