No it isn't. At least in Europe it still goes for full price in most places.

I don't want to say we get a good deal, becuase generally things are way too expensive. Even a GBA Pokemon game is still £30. But..
In UK there have been some random 1st party games dropped quite quickly. Don't really know why, becasue some were big sellers.
SSBB went from £35 to around £22.50-£25 within the first 12 months.
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict brand spanking new, not even 3 months old £15.
New play control series.
Metroid Prime 3 is at most places between £15 and £25. And that's way before a trilogoy was announced. Like at least for 6 months now.
Wii Music is going for good amounts.
But they seem to be a bit out of touch. For example, Animal Crossing Wii, hasn't done as well as they were hoping. That's becuase it costs £50. The cheapest online is around £45. I asked a few of the kids, why they didn't buy the wii version, they simply said it's too expensive, and they only want it with WiiSpeak. It's odd becuase on Amazon you can buy them seperately for £40 total.

I always feel kind of ashamed having such great games just sitting in my backlog. Sadly game theft, and a lost memory card prevented me from ever finishing the first one on GC, and I refused to play 2 or 3 without beating the first. Just got back into it again last year and had to quit upon hearing about the Wii versions because I wanted the best experience. Better late than never I guess.

Wii Music was a part of Play.com's bomba range earlier this year at £10. I think I saw it for £20 at GAME this week and HMV are selling it in-store at ~£9 as a part of its preplayed range minus the actual box, even though it is actually brand new with booklets and everything. (I picked up a "preplayed" / new copy of Guilty Gear XX Wii for 98p!).
Rhythm Paradise was about £15 a week after release at (I think) TheHut.com (and also a few weeks ago but not now) which really pissed me off cos I bought it for ~£22 on release week whilst convincing myself that this is Nintendo's next big game and won't price crash in the next few months let alone years.
did you guys know that there is so much contained awesome in this package that the FDA actually was forced to give the game a warning label, telling potential buyers that playing this game may result in heart failure and spontaneous masturbation (without regard for people in the room!)?
Also a law was passed making it legal to classify people who hate Metroid Prime as "diseased"!

I saw the vid someone posted about which sequence breaks made it through the porting process, but I didn't see any mention of whether you can still use the Player's Choice workaround to get the space jump boots first in Prime. Does anyone know yet?

I own and have completed all 3 games with 100% items on the hardest difficulties, and I will still buy this. It's just too good of a fucking deal!

In the Player's Choice version I'm pretty sure you can open the hatch to the hallway leading to the Artifact Temple and use the scan visor on one of the creatures crawling on the wall instead of the vine outside the door in the landing site.upandaway said:

So are we europeans going to get the shitty plastic one at the end?
I have to know it for sure to buy the american one.

I'm wondering if I will be able to play Metroid Prime 2: Echoes with this. The gamecube version gives me motion sickness. Weird thing is: only MP2 does this. MP1 and MP3 are both fine. I have no idea what is causing this, but it is making it impossible for me to finish it. (Unless in 10 minute bursts)
I finished the other two, but in Echoes, I'm currently stuck as it has been too long and I don't know which
How far near the ending is that?

Temple Keys I have already found. The final ones those are, with the hidden monster things you need to spot with the visor.

You said flatscreen and NOT flat panel, therefore I suggest my TV to you, the Sony KD-34XBR970! Below are some pics.Kuramu said:

Wii looks awesome on this set. Was actually the reason I got it!
As for this game, I double checked, and the HUD is indeed stretched. No biggie, but it is good to know, that way you know that it's meant to look like that.

Man HUELEN10, you will pimp that thing out every chance you get. :lol
Too bad CRTs are a dying breed. They may be bulky as fuck, but they really do look the best.

What can I say? I love my Wii and want to get the best 16:9 picture possible. But yeah, once it dies, as all TVs do, I'm screwed.GrotesqueBeauty said:Man HUELEN10, you will pimp that thing out every chance you get. :lol

The last one is a bit of a disappointment because it won't fit if you're normal sized or smaller; the one I got from my local GameStop is an XL which is too big for me. So really the only bonus swag I got that's of use to me is the poster. It's cool, but it's not a shirt.ZealousD said:
Apparently Nintendo (or GameStop?) think that only overweight Wii owners will buy Metroid Prime Trilogy...
I wish he were wrong but he's kind of right. I've got an LCD and the Wii generally looks terrible on it, though some games are better than others.dark10x said:

But appart from the europear boxart we saw, is there any confirmation it will be plastic box for us?
Looks like most of us who preordered online are NOT getting the poster in addition to the shirt: I just checked Gamestop.com, my order status, and it just shows the game and the shirt as the items, and the shirt is Backordered. This is the same situation as back with the BlazBlue art book bonus, not sure if those backordered people ever got theirs.
So even though I preordered when they still had the poster listed as a bonus, I'm not getting it. Messed up.

I am definately buying this, I never beat MP2 and was pnly 75% done MP3. I have all three games but the Wii controls will be incredible.
