What?! I don't have this game. I don't like being forced to buy a game either so I'll have to buy it second hand.

I'll hug my copy. The Wii controls really destroy the GameCube controls.

Sup with that? It doesn't sell? It sells too much (maybe they want to sell MP3 separately)?

...Why in the world would they do that?:? I already own the original copies,so I'm in no rush to buy the Trilogy,but I wasn't going to buy it immediately,and I probably still won't buy it immediately.

they said it was a limited edition (like that zelda collector's edition), so it's no surprise they stopped shipping it.

*scrambles to find a copy while I still can* :shock:

...

It appears that the Future Shops/Best Buys in my area are completely sold out. :(

I'm not an online shopper so let's hope I can still find some remaining stock at some random Walmart or something. :P

Is it still 19 dollars?

I'll pass, the novelty of the controls are nice but a few hours in you've had enough

Aw man... I was thinking of getting this soon, as soon as I had enough money for it. I guess I'll just have to get it on Ebay sometime in the future then. Someone else can have my money if Nintendo doesn't want it. :P

Luckily we already have it. My brother got it for his birthday.

But anyway, as long as they're still selling the original Prime 3 (as that version is better), it shouldn't be a problem. (We still have the original as well)

I played Prime 1 & 2 on my brothers Game Cube when they first hit, I picked up Prime 3 last year for my Wii. I don't know that I'd ever make any use of all three games for the Wii format. It does sound enticing, but seems redundant, which kills it for me with any purchase. This is also why I don't own any NES games on the Virtual Console. I still play my NES.

There still seem to be enough copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy where I am and since I deem it a bit pricey currently, I'll wait. No need to stress for me.

Its not always about money. Sometimes Collectors Edition really means Collectors Edition.

So an unhealthy obsession with WoW has led to me neglect my Wii for the past few years. Finally deciding to quit, and excited by the upcoming Metroid: Other M, I decided to pick this up....8 months after it was discontinued. Can't find it retail anywhere on the net, not at any Gamestop, and the Ebay prices are, of course, inflated. I mean, its been discontinued for twice as long as it was out.

But I'm a lucky man. I live in a very small town that aparently has very few Metroid fans. Went to our local Wal Mart and they still had 3 copies left. So got to pick one up without the inflated "discontinued collectors edition" price.

So if anyone in driving distance from Parker AZ really wants this thing, the Wal mart has 2 left. :)

Can't decide if I want it. I kinda dislike last gen ports on principle but if the controls improve some of the greatest games ever....

There are plenty still in stores. Maybe people aren't realising the great deal they are missing out on. :?

When Nintendo means limited edition they mean limited edition.

Also I just realised this thread is two months old.

I like the way they are promoting the used game market, the same used game market that is taking food right out of the mouths of these poor game developers and more importantly their near brassic publishers. Its one thing after another with this game :x I was already ****ed off we didn't get the tin case in the UK... apparently tin is a rare commodity here.

Bought 2 copies just a few months ago. Found a healthy stock of them... my secret where... I probably will pick up another one. Of my 2 copies, one is unopened :P gotta be smart about these things...
